Far-right AfD Gains Lead in Germany Amid Political Turmoil
TL;DR Summary
A recent poll indicates that the far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) has become the most popular party in Germany, with 26% support, surpassing Chancellor Friedrich Merz's conservative bloc. This rise reflects a broader trend of populist parties gaining influence across Europe, raising concerns among mainstream leaders. The AfD, now the largest opposition party, has shifted from a single-issue euro-skeptic group to a party with hard-line anti-migrant and right-wing populist positions. Meanwhile, German Chancellor Merz faces declining approval, with 67% of Germans dissatisfied with his performance after 100 days in office.
