In the Archdiocese of Cologne, AfD members should not have a place in associations or parish councils. This was decided by the representatives of the Catholic laity. The party is also not electable for Catholics.
The plenary assembly of the Diocesan Council of Catholics passed a corresponding incompatibility resolution.
“The AfD tramples on the values of the Christian concept of humanity, on which our constitution and democracy are built,” the Catholic lay representatives said on Monday evening in justification. The party’s ideology is fundamentally contrary to the commandment to love God and neighbor.
