Recent developments in German politics reveal a significant shift as mainstream parties struggle and the far-right Alternative fur Deutschland (AfD) gains ground. Following a violent event, opposition leader Friedrich Merz attempted to capitalize on public sentiment toward stricter immigration policies. However, his strategy inadvertently empowered the AfD, leading to a potential increase in democratic instability. As political alliances shift and a snap election looms, the traditional firewall against right-wing extremism shows signs of weakening, presenting challenges for Germany's political future.
The mainstream parties are at each other's throats, while the far-right Alternative fur Deutschland (AfD) is jubilant, indicating a shift in German political dynamics.
Friedrich Merz's immigration stance aimed to unite the CDU and pressure the SPD and Greens, but instead empowered the AfD, leading to greater political fragmentation.
