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.
With the recent mass murder by immigrants, no wonder.
What ‘mass murder’? There were some attacks, but no ‘mass murder’.
There was just days ago an attempt at mass murder that injured 30. This sort of shit obviously gets people worried and reacting out of that fear and worry
E: A mother and child in the München attack have just died today and an hour ago there was a knife attack in Austria
Fucking hell.
I didn’t remember that many victims at the Christmas one. I grant you that. But to go right to the Nazi party cause of some irrational fears and worries, is not understandable.
There’s been a new sad development. Two of the people in the München car attack died, a mother and a child. And now just hours ago there’s been a knife attack by a Syrian asylum seeker where at least one person has died.
People aren’t entirely rational when they’re afraid. Hell, people are not entirely rational on best of days. And I don’t think they feel like other parties have done enough. A lot of people do, it’s still a minority that are looking for AfD but if these things keep happening and other parties don’t react strongly enough, we know what becomes of that.
I’m still waiting for the Bavarian minister of the interior to resign over those repeated specifically Bavarian failures.
