BERLIN (Reuters) - Support for the Alternative for Germany (AfD) dropped slightly in two polls published on Tuesday after 10 days of nationwide protests against the far-right party, although it remained firmly in second place.
Support for the AfD dropped 2 percentage points to 20% in a Forsa poll, the lowest level in four months. The party remained behind the opposition conservatives on 31% but still well ahead of all the three parties in Chancellor Olaf Scholz’s centre-left coalition, who together were polling 32%.
The AfD dropped 1.5 percentage points on the week to 21.5% in the poll by the German Institute for New Social Answers (INSA), behind the conservatives on 30.5% and the ruling coalition on 31%.
“The demonstrations against the AfD are supported by 37% of Germans and they are showing an impact,” INSA chief Hermann Binkert said.
Actual Nazism being on the rise in Germany is pretty insane. You would think that the education system would have prevented these ideas from rising again, but apparently all you need is the economy taking a downturn and everything that they learned goes out of the window to blame minorities for their problems…
Been living in Germany for a few years now, I’m absolutely not surprised. Germans may have learned that throwing people in ovens is bad, but they never learned that they are not übermenschen. Which eventually means the former creeps back in
While they’re far from the only problem, they certainly are a part of it. Specifically those from muslim/arab countries, refusing to assimilate, and instead become criminals/rapists etc. Minorities from these countries are topping crime statistics, so when someone comes around offering a solution, they will get support.
AfD is by no means a good solution, but in order to stop people from voting on it, other political parties must be willing to offer a more sane solution to the same problems.
Ah yes, the biggest Arab aspiration is to emigrate to the west to become a serial rapist. Thanks for the enlightenment. Don’t forget to also say they steal all the jobs and simultaneously abuse the welfare system.
You think it might have something to do with poor people being more present in crime statistics? No that can’t be it has te be related to race and/or religoin. Hey wait we did this 75 years ago! Get your Siegs ready boys
Are you American? Because if you are, your opinion is worth null and void. You haven’t seen the effects of a large muslim population first hand.
Many actually oppose the west, and want Islam to spread, while still enjoying the benefits of living in the west.
If only. They’re largely unemployed
They do, putting unnecessary pressure on it.
Why would anyone want to make their own country significantly worse by taking them in?
Culture/religion is a major part. Race is not, that’s a made up concept.
I already said AfD (and similar parties throughout other European countries) is a terrible option
They show up because we screwed over their countries. If you don’t want them to show up you should have considered our governments not going on an imperialist rampage and overthrowing every African and Middle-Eastern government that doesn’t give us their natural resources.
Furthermore Western birth rates are so low that without immigration country couldn’t actually run. Most of the lower paying physical labor IE garbage collection, airport luggage, doing field work on farms, etc are done by these people.
Lastly it’s not actually that many refugees coming into Europe. Most of the refugees end up in Turkey. By far the largest amount of refugees Europe received was the recent Ukranians. Arabs are certainly not on the streets mass raping women. This is mostly just propaganda pushed by Russia on facebook:
Who are we? I’m certainly not complisit in it.
Whose? Yours? Not mine.
Maybe it would be beneficial, if the majority actually integrated, and got jobs. And if they didn’t actively commit crime, which drains police resources, as well as causing divison and instability. A lot of low-skilled labour intensive jobs could also be automated.
Most European countries are responsible for Africa being a mess, and America and England screwed up the middle east and surroundings.
Germany is one of the most prominent Zionist countries. Actively supporting Netanyahu in his genocide to screw up the middle east and create another giant Palestinian refugee crisis as we speak.
The Palestinians and Lebanese wouldn’t have to seek refugee if countries like Germany weren’t helping to screw up theirs. I guess if you wanna be racist then they can also just say “white people just can’t be helped from Genociding little children and thinking they are the Ubermensch it’s in their DNA”?
But it’s not of course. I recommend you read up about some Chinese propaganda about Vietnamese people. Two entirely different races that are basically convinced of the same thing you are. Saying that Vietnamese people are somehow all lazy brown rapists.
Many of them do have jobs and the ones that don’t are usually actively blocked by the government from getting a job. Because they have to wait years and years for their application to get processed and somehow governments don’t want to use this labor but rather have it sit around waiting.
lol “oh no diversity is scary”
Stick to American politics, yankee
“Go back to where you came from”.
When people go ad hominem like you just did, they reveal their insecurity and inability to form a rebuttal.
