"use the instruments of defensive democracy" (translation)
Yes defend democracy by prohibiting your political enemies from voting.
Can't say I'm familiar with the German economic so maybe I shouldn't be commenting. But when politicians plan to defend a democracy by taking away voting rights it doesn't sound like they're much of a democracy anymore.
Not to mention there was a particularly awful German chancellor who took away rights of particular groups, prevented them from leaving, and disarmed them 80 or so years ago. Didn't end well.
