Why AfD is a far-right party

La formación que lidera Alice Weidel está a un paso de hacerse con el Gobierno de Sajonia-Anhalt, uno de los Estados más pobres de Alemania

Translated from Spanish Read in Spanish

Germany's far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) is close to governing a region for the first time since the Third Reich. Intelligence services see the party as a risk to national security. AfD may gain control of the government in Saxony-Anhalt, one of Germany's poorest states, with the support or abstention of the BSW, a self-described left-wing force. This would mark a significant shift in Germany's political scene, which has traditionally kept far-right parties out of power.
