"The thought that the AfD can be a way to shake up the system in Germany is widespread across the country"

CNN Portugal7 September 2026 at 16:04

CNN Portugal commentator Miguel Baumgartner commented on the latest polling results in Germany, which show the AfD with almost 11% advantage over Friedrich Merz's CDU. Baumgartner highlighted that this voting intention is not limited to the eastern region of the country, contradicting the idea that support for the AfD is exclusively an East German phenomenon.

The commentator emphasized that the thought that the AfD can represent a way to challenge the German political system is spread across the entire country, and not just in a specific region. This perception that the party can serve as an instrument for destabilizing the established system seems to have national appeal.

Baumgartner observed that "it's not just the shirtless ones of German reunification who are upset," referring to East Germans who grew up after reunification and who are frequently associated with support for the radical right. This phrase indicates that the protest against the current system is not limited to that specific demographic group.
