The German far right also sweeps in Playa de Palma: "We share Spain's problems"

El Periódico Mediterráneo - General8 September 2026 at 08:00

The Alternative for Germany (AfD), a German far-right party, reached 43.8% of the votes in Saxony-Anhalt, surpassing any rival party with a nostalgic, melancholic and racist discourse that has resonated among German voters. The article draws a comparison between this electoral result and the situation in Playa de Palma, in Mallorca, where many German tourists spend their holidays.

The AfD's success reflects a widespread discontent among German citizens with the inability of current politicians to solve their problems. The Germanic tourists visiting Mallorca exemplify this trend, demonstrating that the ideology of the far-right party seems convincing to them given their political fatigue.

Among the supporters is Andy, a tourist from Hamburg who is spending a few days in Mallorca. This German visitor claims to share the same fundamental problems as Spain, referring to the situation in Ceuta, and attributes his country's economic decline to "immigration" and what he considers to be the European Union's "lies".
