The Rise of the AFD: A New Political Landscape
This chapter examines the sociopolitical dynamics of East Germany, focusing on the surging popularity of the Alternative for Germany (AFD) party amidst rising tensions over immigration and economic struggles. It highlights how the party's nationalist rhetoric resonates with voters, particularly in the context of a distinct East German identity and the socio-economic disparities between East and West. The chapter further explores the shifting political attitudes of younger generations, as they increasingly gravitate towards far-right ideologies in light of contemporary challenges.
