AfD triumph "will contribute to the narrative that the far-right is victorious across borders", but domino effect is not inevitable

The far-right victory in Germany, although significant, should not be seen as an inevitable signal of a domino effect in other European countries, according to analysts consulted by Expresso. However, the more immediate danger is already present: the inclusion of radical parties in government coalitions and the programmatic convergence of mainstream parties toward these ideas, in a futile attempt to stem the loss of voters. Analysts warn that the narrative of a victorious far-right across borders can be dangerous, but that each national context has its own particularities.
