Germany's AfD party

G

Alternative for Germany (AfD) is a right-wing populist and nationalist political party that has become a central figure in German political discourse, frequently sparking intense debate over its stances on migration, economic policy, and national identity. As the party gains traction in regional and federal polling, it faces significant scrutiny from mainstream political coalitions, which have largely maintained a “firewall” against formal cooperation. Coverage from international outlets like DW, France 24, and the Financial Times tracks the party’s influence on Germany’s shifting political landscape and its broader implications for European stability and security.
