AfD

AfD, or Alternative for Germany, is a political party in Germany that was founded in 2013. It is considered a right-wing to far-right party and is known for its anti-immigration stance, skepticism of the European Union, and nationalist policies. The party appeals to voters concerned about immigration, national identity, and economic sovereignty. AfD has gained significant support amid debates over immigration and integration but also faces criticism for its populist rhetoric and associations with extremist groups. It functions as a parliamentary party aiming to influence German policy from a conservative and nationalist perspective.
