The Rise of the AFD
The Alternative for Germany (AFD) party has significantly gained traction in recent elections, securing nearly 20% of the vote. The party aims to dismantle the established center-right, specifically targeting the CDU, by positioning itself as a revolutionary force akin to Donald Trump's GOP transformation. Despite not holding a government position following this election, the AFD's strong voter support ensures they cannot be ignored politically, prompting a potential reckoning in the future. This newfound visibility indicates that the AFD's supporters may feel increasingly emboldened, leading to heightened tensions within the political landscape.
