Right, right, far right: Alice Weidel, AfD's woman for victory

The Alternative for Germany (AfD) with 27 to 29 percent support is leading the polls convincingly. That right-wing party was rated as "proven extremist" by the German intelligence service in five federal states. Co-president Alice Weidel is leading her to victory in the elections

Wind of change

The elections for the Federal Parliament are scheduled for February 23, 2025. The question of all questions is how the radical right-wing Alternative for Germany will fare, because its strength will show to what extent the values of liberal democracy have been distorted in Europe's strongest economy.

Right-wing candidate for chancellor of Germany: Against "wrapped" girls

Alice Weidel called refugees and asylum seekers "men with knives on alimony" and described Muslim children as "wrapped up girls". At the same time, her life partner is a woman who comes from Sri Lanka and they have two adopted children, which is quite far from the ideal image as propagated by the far-right Alternative for Germany

The victory of the extreme right-wing: With a firm step and raised foreheads towards the government

One specter is circling Europe, the specter of the extreme right. In the regional elections in the East German states of Thuringia and Saxony held on Sunday, that specter became a reality: Alternative for Germany, which is colluding with Nazism, emerged as the strongest political force.

Europe of Sovereign Nations: Too Extreme for the Far Right

The Alternative for Germany gathered a few more extreme right-wing parties and formed the Europe of Sovereign Nations faction in the European Parliament. What they represent is too much even for Marine Le Pen's National Assembly, which did not want to accept them into the Patriots for Europe group.

Mass protests against the AfD: Whose mill is it going to?

Hundreds of thousands of people protested in Germany against the Alternative for Germany and right-wing fantasies about expelling foreigners. But the question is whether that also goes to the mill of the right-wingers who are playing the card that the mainstream is against them.

Dveri: Migrants should not walk in Serbia

The right-wing opposition party, Dveri, continues its policy against migrants, this time demanding that they be banned from moving around Serbia.

Right-wingers in a rush

The radical Alternative for Germany party is more popular than ever. The rest of the political scene continues to build a "sanitary cordon" around her, but that only works in the hands of the right-wingers. Some still console themselves that the people voted for the Alternative from the current protest, but it seems that it is a deeper and more dangerous phenomenon.

Berlin: Park outside the law

The gang-rape in Görlitz Park in Kreuzberg has once again ignited a debate in Germany about the state's supposedly soft attitude towards "criminal migrants". The case turned into a political dynamite, and the fuse was lit by the right-wing Alternative for Germany, which is unstoppably strengthening.

Planned to establish the Reich: A group of militant lunatics arrested

Across Germany, 25 people were arrested on suspicion of forming a terrorist group and trying to disrupt order. In question are the bizarre and dangerous "Citizens of the Reich" who do not recognize the existence of today's Germany. As their "regent", they have foreseen a temporary nobleman, and they have former and current soldiers in their ranks.
