AfD (Alternative für Deutschland)

The Alternative für Deutschland (AfD) is a political party in Germany founded in 2013. It initially focused on opposing the Euro currency but has since shifted towards nationalist, anti-immigration, and conservative policies. The AfD advocates for stricter immigration controls, national sovereignty, and traditional cultural values. It is considered a right-wing to far-right party and has gained support amid debates over migration, integration, and Germany's role in Europe. The party's stance has been controversial, with critics accusing it of promoting xenophobia and extremism, while supporters view it as a voice for national identity and sovereignty.
