Deep dives

Rise of the Alternative for Germany Party

Alice Weidel, co-leader of the Alternative for Germany Party (AFD), has been instrumental in shaping German politics. Despite AFD's small presence in the German Parliament and being under scrutiny for extremist views, Weidel's leadership has boosted the party's popularity. Recent polls suggest that Weidel is even more popular than the German Chancellor, Olaf Scholz. With upcoming elections in Germany, including for the European Parliament, Weidel and the AFD are poised to become a major force in German politics.
