AFD (Alternative for Germany)

Alternative for Germany (AfD) is a political party in Germany founded in 2013. It originally focused on opposing the Euro currency but has since shifted to promote nationalist, anti-immigration, and conservative policies. The party appeals to voters concerned about immigration, economic sovereignty, and cultural identity. Critics associate AfD with right-wing extremism and anti-immigrant rhetoric, while supporters see it as a voice for national sovereignty and skepticism of established parties. Its presence in German politics has sparked debates on nationalism and integration, making it a controversial but significant force in shaping recent political discourse.
