On 7 November, 2024, Prof. Dr. Emanuel V. Towfigh<\/em> was invited by the initiators of the motion for a decision by the German Bundestag on the \u00bbinitiation of proceedings to determine the unconstitutionality of the AfD\u00ab\u2014Martina Renner<\/em> (party \u00bbDie Linke\u00ab), Stefan Seidler<\/em> (\u00bbSSW\u00ab), Till Steffen<\/em> (\u00bbDie Gr\u00fcnen\u00ab), Marco Wanderwitz<\/em> (\u00bbCDU\u00ab) and Carmen Wegge<\/em> (\u00bbSPD\u00ab)\u2014to take part in an informative event for MPs, together with investigative journalist Dirk Laabs<\/em> and research assistant Svea Alberti<\/em><\/a>.
