Properly enforced at C12 last week. A GA checked the BPs of all those waiting in the priority line, asking each one "Business Class? Sky Priorty?"

I got priority boarding with all the European airlines (AF, KL, AZ, UX) when I was Silver. I found it really good on crowded flights. It’s certainly more than you get on Lufthansa group as Silver, even though it gets you lounge access. On EW I think only SEN HON get priority boarding, along with Biz Class.

Hi,
Maybe regardless of the ST FQTV Status, some fares entitle Pax for SP:
- Corporate fares with special agreement including SP
- Reservation including an Y Flex segment on Medium-haul routes (AF)
- AF abonnement trips

That could well be.

If I understand correctly the website. Silver have priority boarding but no SP at security. Right?

According to ST website and according to AF FB website yes.
But the concept of Priority boarding for Silvers is ramdomely and not clearly standardized through the Airports based on feeback here:
- Boarding after SP with a dedicated announcement and access to SP line only from this time
- STE rejected from SP lines and asked to queue up in Eco lane due to the lack of SP logo no matter you are STE.
- No enforcement at all

Interresting, so no indication raised by the gate.
Maybe as it is harder to qualify for low tier status under SU FFP, they are more lax about Priority Boarding sequence enforcement for Silver / STE equivalents on SU-operated flights.

With AFKL that very certainly is not the case -- and as a current Silver member I have some experience in this matter.
