Alternative for Germany (AfD), a far-right party, could win the first absolute majority of a far-right party in Germany since World War II. This possibility represents a historic milestone in German politics.
The AfD has gained significant ground in polls, fueling concerns about a possible rise of the far-right to power in the country. The party has grown consistently in recent years, capitalizing on issues such as immigration, national identity, and dissatisfaction with the government.
The possibility of an AfD absolute majority has alarmed traditional parties and democratic organizations in Germany, who view this prospect as a threat to the country's political system. Historically, Germany has taken special precautions since the end of World War II to prevent the rise of extremist movements.
The post-war context in Germany created democratic protection mechanisms, and the possibility of a far-right absolute majority represents a break with this historical legacy. The international community is also watching this political trend in Europe's largest economy with concern.
