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.

    I think there’s an easy solution. Left wing parties should start tackling the problem of immigration, because yes, it’s a problem and the sooner we realize it, the sooner we can stop extreme right wing parties from using that as a lever to come into power.

        I didn’t say we should stop immigration. But everybody can see that some immigrants don’t come to Europe to work, not at all. And people are angry about that; left wing parties should tackle that problem in a rational way. Otherwise people get fed up and then they resort to vote for extreme right wing parties.

          Oh no only 99.7% of immigrants come here to work! Let’s kick them all out!

          Shouldn’t we kick out any people if they don’t want to work with that logic? I hope you’re having a job!
