Rise of AFD and Fall of Green Party in Germany

The AFD, despite facing controversies and censorship by the German government, has become the second most popular party in Germany, signaling a rightward political shift in the country and across Europe. The rise of AFD coincided with the decline of the Green Party, which saw their vote share drop significantly from over 20% to about 12%. The Green Party, initially focused on environmental issues, has evolved to become a pro-Europe, pro-NATO, and pro-war party in Germany and some other European countries.
