AfD in high altitude: Surveys show 21 percent - what is behind it?

The political landscape in Germany is changing rapidly, especially in the run -up to the Bundestag election. The AfD, under the leadership of Alice Weidel, has a remarkable increase in survey and has exceeded the symbolic mark of 20 percent, such as Berlin Live . The party was apparently able to benefit from a recent terrorist attack that has reinforced the fears of many people in relation to immigration. In the current surveys, the AfD is 21 percent, which is a significant increase compared to the values ​​of last December. While the CDU/CSU and SPD hardly show any growth, the AfD dominates the debate on basic topics such as migration, which are considered the most pressing problem for 37 percent of respondents.

Weidel's controversial statements in an interview with Musk

In a conversation with Elon Musk on the platform X, Weidel also commented on historical and current topics that were both wrong and misleading, such as Tagesschau For example, she expressed that Hitler did not have to be categorized as the right, but as a communist, an assertion that historians reject as fundamentally wrong. In addition, Weidel false clarifying facts about migration and spoke of increased crime in Germany, although statistics show that these numbers should be viewed in a historically wider context.

Weidel and Musk also touched the topics of freedom of expression and the deviations from historical truths. Statements such as "The AfD protects Jews" were clearly rejected by various representatives of the Jewish community and classified as dangerous, which represents another example of the controversial point of view of the AfD. These discussions underpower the continuing political tensions and the pressure that the parties are exposed to shortly before the elections.
