The Rise of the AFD in German Politics
The Alternative for Germany (AFD) party has gained significant traction in recent regional elections, notably achieving a major victory in Thuringia. This marks the first substantial electoral win for a far-right party in Germany since the Nazis in the early 20th century. The AFD has capitalized on public sentiment surrounding immigration and law enforcement, positioning itself as the primary voice for those concerned about these issues. Voters increasingly see the AFD as a legitimate political force rather than a fringe movement, reflecting a shift in perceptions toward far-right ideologies in Germany.
