Infact
65 / 100
Mostly True Germany

More than 1,000 lawyers are demanding a ban on the AfD party, which has 28% support according to German TV. The Republican Association of Lawyers, a left-wing organization, is leading the appeal.

Infact verdict: Mostly True (65/100).

The claims regarding the AfD party and the involvement of lawyers in demanding its ban are supported by multiple high-reliability sources. Over 1,000 lawyers have indeed signed an appeal to ban the AfD, and the party's support is reported to be at 28% according to recent polls. However, the claim about the Republican Association of Lawyers being a left-wing organization is not verified and appears to be incorrect based on available evidence. The association is actually conservative, supporting Republican ideals.
