Has Germany’s ‘firewall’ against the far right been breached by AfD success?

One in five German X put in the alternative box for Germany (AFD) on Sunday: a standard result that made them the second largest force in German policy.

While riding the back of this success, the party now calls for an end to the consensus in German policy not to work with the far right.

The “Wall of Protection” – Branoor In German – I have worked since the end of World War II, but AFD Tino Chrupalla says: “Anyone who creates the walls of protection will fall behind.”

There is a decision among all the main parties in Germany to keep this mass in place – and its support for the German public: 69 % believe that AFD represents a threat to democracy, according to voters surveyed on Sunday.

Friedrich Mirz, who won the conservative elections, believes that the only reason for the presence of AFD is due to problems such as migration and security to be addressed: “We need to solve these problems … then that party, AFD, will disappear.”

AFD won 20.8 % of the votes at the national level, and as light blue areas of the map show were dominant in the five states in the east, where it got 34 %.

“The East Germans have made it clear that they no longer want a protection wall,” said Tino Cropala.

Friedrich Mirz will now have talks about the formation of a government with social Democrats, who ranked third.

Although his party won 28.6 % of the votes, he was still the second result of the worst since World War II.

AFD support doubled, and one million of its abandoned voters took over the governors of Mirz, according to a survey conducted by the Infratest DIMAP Research Institute.

Voters have not been postponed by the fact that local intelligence in Germany classifies parts of AFD as a right -wing extremist – or that the party has now adopted a policy called “Remigration”.

AFD argues that the standard means deporting immigrants convicted of the crime, but the term has been used by the extreme right to mean collective deportation.

One of the major issues of Christian Democrats is how to restore their voters and stop losing more.

Merz has already invaded with AFD in Parliament, relying on their voices to pay through a migration proposal.

But it was clear that he was silent by a general cry and the mass protests that followed in many German cities.

The German advisor is unlikely to try to wait again, especially if it is a government with the left.

But now AFD has more than 150 seats in Parliament, its supporters in particular believe that the time has come to go to the wall of protection.

“I just hope the wall will fall. But we all know that it will not be like this,” says Selena Praishi, influential in Tiktok, 26.

“I think it will decrease at the latest when new elections are held. Then they have to realize at some point that they cannot reach what they are doing now.”

“I believe Branoor Dominic, 30, who voted for AFD in Saxony. “I want the government to really think about its people and their country.”

The pressure to download the Wall has not only come from AFD, but also from the leading Trump administration, including US Vice President JD Vance and Elon Musk, who have repeatedly supported the party.

Most of the voices you hear challenge the protection wall come from the east, which may not be surprising given the deep spread of AFD, especially in the five eastern countries of a total of 16 across Germany.

They won 38.6 % of the vote in Thuringia And 37 % in both Saxonia and SaxoniaToo before CDU. It makes them difficult for them to keep the arm.

In one of the big discussion tools on German TV on Monday night, a local mayor of Saxonia, Mirko Jesler, believes that AFD should be placed on a “stadium”, so that they can show what they can do. If not, they will end up to 40-50 % in polls.

“The AFD voters are not right -wing extremists,” said Lyan Bach, an independent mayor from a village in Thoringa, in her area.

A politician in CDU in the program, Philip Antor, admitted that there should not be “walls of protection between democratic parties and people who vote AFD.”

This is the main issue that the major national parties will have to address. How to avoid the AFD voters who have no problem clearly with the protection wall that is violated.

One of the mayors indicated that one of her colleagues from the residents who was also an AFD consultant is to repair the local fountain. It is not logical not to work with him.

Professor Conrad Ziller of Duisburg University believes that the biggest threat to the protection wall can come at the state level, not nationally.

“If you have a problem building a coalition in a state, at some point, there can be a minor government based on AFD, or get voices from AFD from time to time.”

On the national level, the worst scenario will be a collapse in a coalition led by MERZ: “Merz can make mistakes. If it is very difficult to migrate, it may be a problem with SPD.”

Germany has already seen early elections due to the collapse of the coalition, and Alice showed that AFD has made it clear that it is looking for early elections.

Her repeated manifestations in television election discussions made her a prominent figure in Germany and helped raise her party’s image.

But the constant focus on immigration and security was the first issue of AFD voters, which are partly fed by three fatal attacks, all carried out by immigrants.

The treatment of insecurity and its perception will be an immediate task for the next government, when it is eventually formed.

Through the urgency, the Bavaria leader in the center, Marcos Soder, said that the need to address immigration, along with the struggling economy in Germany, “in fact, the last bullet of democracy.”

There is no doubt that the long protection wall violates the current time.

Tom Unger, Secretary -General of the Mirz Party, was determined that there should be no cooperation with a party that opposes Germany’s relations with the West, its membership in NATO and the “European idea”.

He said this was incompatible with the “basic DNA” of the conservatives.
