BERLIN, April 9 - Germany’s far-right AfD party topped a major poll for the first time on Wednesday in a sign of growing dissatisfaction with mainstream parties as chancellor-in-waiting Friedrich Merz seeks to seal a coalition government deal.
Support for Merz’s conservative CDU/CSU bloc, which won the February 23 election, fell by five percentage points to 24% while the Alternative for Germany (AfD) gained three points to land on 25%, according to the Ipsos institute’s poll.
The AfD came second in the election, the best performance by a far-right party since World War Two.
Let’s vote for evil because the current leaders are not good at their jobs… Yea, awesome choice.
There are enough other still small parties that could have been a choice to slap the old parties around.
But no, it had to be the far right bullshit party because that has worked SO WELL in the past for Germany
You can buy a whole lot of propoganda with that Musk money.
O no, the AfD has so much power now. /s
I’d be worried because this seems to be response to CDU/SPD coalition, which is probably just more of the same and people reject that. Dismissing issues is why far right are as popular as they are.
It is bad news for sure, and will probably influence the decisions made by the new coalition, but a poll is not a vote so I try not to care too much about them.
