Collin McMahon – The Gateway Pundit July 23, 2026
While the aging dictator of Nicaragua Daniel Ortega this week announced he was suspending elections indefinitely, Europe seems to be on a similar path – as Victor Orban’s Hungarian Fidesz Party was raided Wednesday and had their servers confiscated, and Romanian Presidential elections were anulled 2024. Now, Germany seems to have discovered a new strategy – as legacy parties are simply excluding candidates from the patriotic AfD party from elections.
Local elections are set to take place in the state of Lower Saxony, home of Volkswagen and surrounding the Free City of Hamburg, on Sept. 13, where the Alternative for Germany party is currently polling at about 20% behind Christian Democrats and Social Democrats at about 25% each. Nationally, the AfD is currently the strongest party in the polls at about 29%, and may even win a majority in the East German states of Saxony-Anhalt and Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, which elect new state parliaments and state governments in September.
So the failing legacy parties are resorting to ever more repressive measures. Along with the ever-present threat of Antifa violence, debanking, and media slander, efforts have been underway to ban the largest opposition party outright. Since the German secret political police have not been able to prove the AfD is a danger to democracy in court, these efforts by the ruling Social Democrats seem doomed to fail.
Therefore, ahead of the Sept. 13 local elections in Lower Saxony, the ruling red-green coalition changed the election rules in February, allowing local election boards to ban individual candidates if they have “doubts in their loyalty to the constitution”, however that may be defined. Also in February, the Lower Saxony secret political police (Verfassungsschutz – Office for the Protection of the Constitution) announced it was classifying the local AfD as “confirmed far-right”.
A temporary injunction against this decision filed by the AfD was struck down in June.
Now, as the election approaches, local election boards in Lower Saxony have started examining and even banning AfD candidates from running. At least 11 AfD candidates are currently being investigated for allegedly lacking “loyalty to the constitution”, without any legal recourse or opportunity to defend themselves. The only reason for banning them offered is that they are AfD members, so they must be “far-right” and therefore a danger to democracy.
On Tuesday, July 21, AfD Bundestag member Martin Sichert was banned from running for county board member in Friesland by the very parties he is running against.
Here he describes what happened in English:

On Wednesday, AfD candidate Reinhild Goes, a board member of the AfD youth group “Generation Germany”, was also banned from running for Mayor in the town of Nörten-Hardenberg, even though election officials had recommended approving her. No reason was given by the election board.
The first example of such a ban was the mayoral candidate in Ludwigshafen Joachim Paul, who was also banned from running on equally specious grounds 2025.
America spends trillions on NATO to protect democracies including Germany. But it is has just prevented an opposition candidate from running for mayor for frivolous reasons including his praise for “Lord of the Rings.” This is a clear violation of NATO’s Charter. pic.twitter.com/KdTB4S1GX6

Last September, Paul was invited to the White House with AfD Bundestag vice-chair Beatrix von Storch to describe his case.
“Since the legacy parties continue down this undemocratic path, I have reported this new case there as well,” von Storch wrote on X. “I assume they will be interested, since the Trump administration has made clear they expect NATO to respect democracy and the rule of law.”
Der Führer lässt grüßen.
Gestapo Tactics???? So we know right from the start where McMahon stands. The NSDAP banned jew run commie parties in the 1930’s in order to protect the PEOPLE. This attempted ban of the AfD is an attempt to protect the SATT ( scum at the top ).
Not of course that the AfD will change anything. They are after all led by a kike female !!!! But a win by the AfD will change the narrative….
“Democracy/Democrat” – dirtier words than “Rascist/Rascism”.
More tards who still “believe in democracy”. They think they can vote their way out of it. The “afd” is run by a lesbian ffs. Let’s have the jimmy saville party in britain. I’m sure they’d save us.
250,000 children raped. It doesn’t matter. Not when you “own” things.
german ruling traitors accept only zioNAZIS
+ jewish child murderers .
AFD is the only party would implement peaceful
relationship with russia according to once Bismarks
politics until crazy kaiser threw him out .
this the jews want stoped : the WAR MUST GO ON .
Looks like the ballot-box will have to be replaced with the bullet-box….
“Gestapo Tactics: German State Starts Banning AfD Candidates from Running for Office Because They Might Win”
Collin McMahon…..
Another clueless twat who knows nothing about Nazi Germany. He might as well share the same bed with Henry Makiw.
Gould Collin McMahon be a pseudonym for Henry Makow?
the UK did the same with the national front
there were vile racist underhand tactics
every voting paper hasa number, they know who you vote for
they give you a pencil to write on your voting paper, these have been known to be tubbed out and changed when the doors were closed
active measures were used on the NF voters for many years after
Collin McMaehon knows (obviously not) what he is talking about! When Germany became second in the last war and was liberated by Allied Demockcrazies the above mentioned “Gestapo” banning was implemented on the KPD shortly thereafter, which of course was also persecuted by the now lost and burnt “Nazi Reich”. Evil Nazeees banning the German Kommunist Party under their rule and the good righteous Demoncrats who came to save the whirled from all evil and injustice also banned it, but of course it looked a lot better and more democratic than the “Gestapo methods” of the “Genociders of the juice”.
Implementation of Demockcrazy everywhere in the “free” world are “juicy Gestapo” methods! We by now live in full communism camouflaged as freedumb and are tied into the hands of Juice – as play things. Please can anyone talk to McMahon about Communism and Democracy before he scribbles another one of his hit pieces?
I think AFD will come to power in two provinces . sign
that the landly houseowners slowly got enough from
jewish incited leftistgreenliberal invader welcomers .
even that I dont like houseowners I will vote AFD .
leftists claim if AFD comes to power dutchland will
go down . BRD brads will go down anyhow by
greenleftistliberals ruling now .
leftist TAZ paper is their mother . I enjoy this idiots .
they register there with name + adress . so they are
all leftists . a AFD suporter registering there would
be an idiot inviting that his windows would be smashed
or worst things . like they did with Höcke + others .
but be sure when AFD comes to power
foreigners crime will rise + jews will
incite it because they know ruling AFD
then must turn on gestapo methodes
what the jews always want to blame
the germans for ever as Nazis .
