Alternative for Germany

The Alternative for Germany (AfD) is a political party in Germany, founded in 2013, originally as a response to the eurozone crisis, advocating against the euro currency. Over time, it shifted focus to issues like immigration and national identity, gaining attention for its populist and right-wing views. The AfD often critiques the European Union and promotes stricter immigration reforms. It has garnered significant support, particularly in eastern Germany, but faces criticism for its far-right rhetoric and associations. The party has sparked debates about nationalism, integration, and the future of Germany's political landscape.
