Fascism is still on the rise:
Members of the far-right populist Alternative for Germany (AfD) gathered in the eastern German city of Magdeburg Friday to begin their annual party conference, which will last until Sunday.
The party is currently polling well nationally, between 18% and 22%, as establishment parties struggle with voter resentment. The party’s numbers are roughly twice what they were during 2021 federal elections. In Magdeburg, leadership implored members not to let up.
Party Co-Chair Tino Chrupalla said the numbers reflect a new “harmony” among leadership. “We will carry this harmony into the next election,” he said, as he greeted some 600 delegates in attendance.
Chrupalla referenced upcoming state elections in Bavaria and Hesse, and voiced confidence about the broader prospect of growing political popularity, saying, “Next year we can win Saxony, Thuringia and Brandenburg” — all states in the east of the country where AfD has tended to perform best.
