The funny thing is, the people who are trying to ban the AFD are the CDU! 
They are equivalent to the Conservative Party in the UK and have become 
essentially a *fake* right-wing party. Both the CDU and the CP in Britain 
have been slowly sliding further to the Left in recent times, hoping that 
no one would notice. It's left a glaring great hole on the political Right 
so traditional conservatives had no representation. But nature abhors a 
vacuum so the AFD arose in Germany and the Reform Party in the UK. The 
Reform Party can expect similar treatment in due course I would guess (if 
they too become a threat to the status quo - which seemingly they suddenly 
have....)
This is going to be a very interesting year for politics in the Europe and 
America.
