What's behind the rise of far-right parties like the AfD | DW News
A key story of this German election campaign has of course been the rise of the far right, with large numbers of voters turning to the Alternative for Germany party, the AFD.In the latest polling, the AfD would take 21% of the overall vote this election. That would make them the second biggest party in the German parliament, the Bundestag. That's also double the party’s result from the last federal election in 2021, when they claimed just over 10 percent of the vote.
According to a recent YouGov survey - the AFD is predicted to win the highest share of the vote in five of Germany's sixteen federal states - all of them in the former communist East Germany. Areas in darker blue on this map show where AfD support is expected to be strongest - highlighting a clear east-west divide.
DW speaks with Natascha Strobl, political scientist and expert on far-right ideologies and extremism about the rise of far-right parties in Europe, what it means for Germany and why voters are increasingly turning to far-right parties.
