Is Democracy in Danger in Germany?

What would happen if 24% of the elected parliamentarians in the Bundestag were banned by the judiciary in the name of saving democracy?

I don’t know much of anything about German politics, but is it possible for the German judiciary to overthrow the current government headed by center-right Friedrich Merz?

Currently, the German coalition is made up of the two right of center parties, the Christian Democratic Union and the Christian Social Union in Bavaria, and the left of center Social Democratic Party because the biggest opposition party, the anti-immigrant Alternative für Deutschland, isn’t allowed into a ruling coalition by the other parties.

The AfD has 24% of the seats in the Bundestag, but there is a strong movement to ban this large party outright for being “anti-democratic.”
