Yes, as long as it does not threaten violence
This position aligns somewhat with the AfD's stance on free speech, where they advocate for fewer restrictions on speech but might agree that speech inciting violence should not be protected. The party has often argued for the importance of open dialogue and the expression of unpopular opinions, as long as they do not directly incite violence.

No, freedom of speech laws should only protect you from criticizing the government
While the AfD supports criticism of the government, suggesting some alignment with this view, the party's broader advocacy for free speech rights suggests it would not agree with limiting protections exclusively to criticism of the government. The AfD has argued for broader interpretations of free speech that extend beyond just government criticism.

No, and increase penalties for hate speech
Given the AfD's criticism of what it perceives as censorship and its defense of controversial speech as part of democratic discourse, it is highly likely that the party would strongly disagree with increasing penalties for hate speech, viewing it as a threat to free speech.
