And now the AfD in Germany

Observador9 September 2026 at 00:29

The article addresses the rise of the AfD in Germany, suggesting that this phenomenon is not limited to that country alone. The trend of growth of right-wing parties appears to be spreading throughout Europe.

According to the article, Marine Le Pen is very likely to become President of France at the end of next year. This prediction indicates a possible significant shift in the French political landscape.

In Spain, the Vox party should join the government together with the Popular Party. This alliance would represent a formal entry of a right-wing party into the Spanish executive.

Finally, the article mentions that Giorgia Meloni will continue as Prime Minister of Italy, consolidating her position in power. The text thus suggests a generalized trend of strengthening of right-wing political forces in various European countries.
