Growth of the AfD in Germany: John Wolf states it is 'a manifestation of civilizational despair'

Now9 September 2026 at 12:19

The party Alternative for Germany (AfD) has registered significant growth in Germany, which has generated concern at the European level. Expert John Wolf warned that this growth represents a "manifestation of civilizational despair," suggesting that the advance of the far right reflects deep problems in society.

Wolf specifically warned about the impact of the loss of community cohesion in the European Union. According to the analysis presented, the phenomenon is not limited to Germany but affects the political balance of the European bloc more broadly.

The growth of the AfD has been closely monitored by European institutions and traditional parties, who are trying to understand the underlying causes of this political phenomenon. The trend reflects a growing displeasure of citizens towards established political elites.

The expert emphasized that the situation requires urgent attention, considering that social and political fragmentation represents a threat to the European integration model built over recent decades.
