Wow serious lack of political knowledge detected. The government can't declare any political party unconstitutional.
Only the constitutional court can do that.

I said power, not government. 

Who does it is irrelevant. Do you think it is okay to unconstitutionalise a political party? 

It matters in how difficult it would be for a government to be able to do that. How much reach/power they need to accumulate within it.

 

It's quite pointless to criticize a law based on the the manners in which an extremist party could abuse it once said party holds a stranglehold of all sectors of governance; because at that point, said extremist party could bend the laws as they see fit, regardless.

 

The legislature that was put in place to facilitate the suppression of extremist parties, particularly of far right nationalists, was set up at a time when all agreed that the danger was evident and large enough for its suppression to be of constitutional significance to the new republic.
