Musk, Trump or the Kremlin. With Europe worried, AfD's victory in Germany is making many people happy

CNN Portugal7 September 2026 at 08:10

The Alternative for Germany (AfD) achieved a significant victory in Germany, which has generated concern across Europe. The far-right party managed electoral results that exceeded expectations, alarming other European countries and raising questions about the country's political future.

The world's richest man, Elon Musk, was one of the first to publicly celebrate AfD's victory. Through social media, Musk exchanged praise with figures associated with the party, openly expressing support for the German political formation.

The president of the United States, Donald Trump, also joined the celebrations. Trump reacted to AfD's victory through social media, a gesture that reinforced the ties between the German party and the political wing he represents in the United States.

Russia also decided to participate in this exchange of support, reacting to Trump's post about AfD's victory. This convergence of support from Musk, Trump and the Kremlin to the German right has worried European authorities, who see in this international alliance a worrying signal for the future of the European Union.
