Summary

Alternative for Germany (AfD), a far-right party founded in 2013, is poised for its strongest national election result yet in Germany.

Initially focused on eurozone bailouts, AfD shifted its focus to migration, gaining significant support and entering parliament in 2017.

The party, now advocating for large-scale deportations and opposing support for Ukraine, has become a significant political force, particularly in eastern Germany, and is under observation for suspected right-wing extremism.

      Oh, so far we’ve got one European or Canadian downcoping and telling themselves “but it really will be different for us”.

      Fuck around and find out, bud. Hope you don’t enjoy your social programs.
