- Brandenburg’s constitution says a vice president should belong to an opposition parliamentary group.
- Andreas Galau was vice president from 2019 to 2024; Daniel Münschke has held the post since 2024.
- Münschke won the 2024 election only in the second ballot, with 41 of 86 votes; 34 opposed him and 11 abstained.
- After the AfD was classified as a confirmed far-right extremist party, it failed in later control-commission elections and did not secure certain committee chairmanships.
The AfD was democratically elected in Brandenburg, Saxony-Anhalt and Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania; that has to be accepted. And I warn against reinforcing its victim narrative.— Steeven Bretz, chairman of the CDU parliamentary group in the Brandenburg state parliament, on the political treatment of the AfD.

- Jörg Müller proposes a firewall approach that blocks extremist actions while allowing communication with AfD voters.
- He identifies the AfD as a right-wing extremist party especially in eastern Germany and warns of a potential absolute majority in 2029.
- Müller views a ban as ineffective since it would dissolve mandates but not eradicate the party’s ideology.
- The AfD is distinguished from the NSDAP, pursuing its agenda democratically and participating in local political discourse.
The AfD is right-wing extremist – but not NSDAP. We are not dealing with a National Socialist party that would immediately establish a Führer state.— Jörg Müller, former Brandenburg Verfassungsschutz chief, in an interview with the Tagesspiegel (as summarized in Welt).
