An electoral result in Germany that resonates around the world
El Kremlin y la Administración Trump celebran el ascenso de la AfD. Leer
The Kremlin and the Trump Administration have welcomed the rise of the far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) party in regional elections in Saxony-Anhalt. The AfD, classified as an extremist party by German intelligence, has seen a significant increase in support, with some members having ties to Nazi ideology. Russia has reasons to support the AfD, as the party campaigns to end German aid to Ukraine, restore economic ties with Russia, and increase the teaching of Russian in German schools.
The Trump Administration has also cozied up to the AfD, with Vice President J.D. Vance meeting with AfD leader Alice Weidel at the Munich Security Conference last year. The AfD's rise has significant implications for Germany, Europe, and the world, with concerns about the party's nationalist and anti-immigration policies.
