The City of Karleruhe has been forbidden by a local court to interfere with plans of the National Democratic Party to hold its national congress in that city, scheduled to be conducted there from June 17 to June 19.
Under the court order, the city will be obligated not only to permit the convening of the NDP congress, but also to designate a site for the conclave. The NDP is a fusion of various right-wing political parties, including some outright anti-Semitic and neo-Nazi groupings.
Karlsruhe’s municipality has forbidden the holding of the NDP congress, and the lower court’s ruling in favor of the party is being appealed to a higher court. However, there is doubt here whether the higher court will support the city, since the NDP is a legally established party. The NDP has scored significant successes throughout Germany in recent municipal and state elections.
