In Germany, the Bundestag’s police commissioner, Uli Grötsch, is pushing hard to boot out all members of the conservative Alternative for Germany (AfD) party from the police force.
As a member of the left-leaning Social Democratic Party (SPD), Grötsch holds a position designed to oversee police misconduct, but now he’s using his position to target supporters of the AfD to disqualify them from serving in law enforcement.
Speaking to the Rheinische Post, he expatiated that “AfD membership and work as a police officer are not compatible,” pointing to the party’s label as “right-wing extremist” by Germany’s intelligence agency, the BfV.
For Grötsch, any clear involvement, like campaigning for the AfD, seeking local office, or even running for parliament, should lead straight to dismissal from the force.
His extreme stance puts him at odds with more reasonable figures in the government, including those in the ruling coalition who reject broad-strokes removals.
Federal Interior Minister Alexander Dobrindt from the Christian Social Union (CSU) stressed that loyalty to the constitution must be evaluated individually, not through sweeping bans, as reported by Junge Freiheit.
This isn’t Grötsch’s first rodeo in going after AfD supporters in uniform; back in March 2024, he flagged any backing of the party as a major red flag.
He called the AfD increasingly extreme, despite the AfD purging extremists in their ranks, and warned that infiltration by those opposing democratic values could wreck the police and courts.
Now, he’s ramping up the heat, expanding his warnings in a chat with Redaktionsnetzwerk Deutschland. Grötsch argued that even basic membership or other forms of support for the AfD by police staff pose serious risks, leaving the door open to punishing simple acts like donating or showing sympathy.
A leaked internal directive from January 2025, first exposed by Junge Freiheit, showed plans to target AfD-linked officers for ousting. Signed by ex-Interior Minister Nancy Faeser, another SPD figure, the memo labeled active AfD participation as cause for discipline.
The federal police employs about 54,000 people, with 45,000 sworn officers, but no one knows how many align with the AfD.
An intranet post from the force noted that known AfD ties could spark investigations into misconduct, especially for those actively engaged, providing grounds for suspicion.
The AfD champions tough law-and-order policies, emphasizing secure borders, national pride, and public safety. These are ssues that naturally appeal to many in law enforcement facing real-world challenges.
The AfD vows to pursue legal action, as it continues to face mounting lawfare across Germany attempting to force their members out of civil service roles.
This crackdown smells like a leftist power grab, aiming to silence dissent and purge opponents under the guise of protecting democracy, echoing tactics that threaten free expression everywhere.
