Survey: Majority would consider AfD government harmful
For months, the party has been experiencing a surge in polls. However, participation in a government is currently still unlikely. Many people also view this possibility critically.
A majority of Germans believe that the participation of the AfD in the federal government would be detrimental to the country. According to an Insa survey for "Bild am Sonntag", 47 percent think that Germany would suffer if the AfD came to power in Berlin. Around 22 percent of respondents said they would consider leaving Germany if the AfD took power.
Several state associations of the AfD are classified as right-wing extremist by the authorities. The AfD is currently leading in opinion polls, but no other party has offered them a coalition.
