there are huge hurdles for a party ban in Germany. i would tend to say that they will try, but will not succeed. of course, it can be assumed that the party has been infiltrated by secret service people and thus produces scandals that make this really possible.

Naa, I think it went so bad in Germany in general they need some fresh movement. They were some scars from "brown shirts association" but personally I think that some nationalism is good for your soul. As in, take care of your citizen first, before you help others. (Make Germany Great Again :-) ) They will not be banned. I think they even succeed and make some noise and if they play it right, they might be a leading party in 5 years or so.
