The unstoppable electoral growth of "Alternative for Germany" has naturally meant that its proposals are beginning to be taken seriously. According to the polls it is already the second largest political group in Germany and the issue is that its leader has described the European Union as a failed project. In this video we tell you about the rise of the extreme right in #Germany and how this could endanger the #EU.
#Europe
Completely ignores Angela Merkels reaction to the 2015 migrant crisis, the real causse of AFD's rise.
It is not a suitable topic in Britain. Many topics are not if you live there. But particularly this one as immigration got totally out of control after brexit. It's sometimes called the small boats(dinghies) problem but in reality it is a well funded mini invasion similar to those in other parts of the world....
@@angelawhitehead6187I always found it funny how you complained about EU migration, and now complain about the dinghies, but completely close your eyes to half a million "students" from non-EU countries arriving yearly.
So after all it’s just racism
Angela Merkel also said that Minsk agreements were made to allow Ukrainians prepare for war against Russia at the same time she didn't want Russia to build a gas pipeline in Ukraine. In other words she tried to use Russia and at the same time she didn't want to solve the Ukraine issue.
What about Colonge assault.
Spoiler, its the immigrants.

As a german, I can tell you there are exactly two reasons why people here vote for the AfD:
1. Disappointment in the established partys. Many are fed up with the status quo, which basically consists of two parties taking turns in governing (SPD and CDU) with frequent corruption scandals, misuse of government funding and horrible economical decisions.
2. Problems with migration. Germany has had problems with migration ever since the 60s, when parallel societies started to form in bigger cities, but it really got bad when the refugee crisis started to hit in 2015. We had 34 knife attacks each day last year. You hear these outrageous storys of gang rapes and attacks every day and benefit fraud is rampant.
The truth is, many germans just have enough of these two things and are even aware of the bad sides of the AfD. They just want something to change, because something HAS to change. The way it looks now, germany is facing a long and slow decline which will already be hard to stop.
Literally, reminds me a country I'm living, with the same problems but worst. But still I have hope in this new government here 🇦🇷🇦🇷🇦🇷
the decline of Germany is anything but slow and long. This country has already been completely given away to Islam. I can walk around for days around busy streets in my city without hearing a single word of German. All of the shops are Arabic and all the ad boards only feature either muslim or African people. In school 90%+ of the kids have a migration background. It´s Germany in name only at this point.
Source: I am native German and live here.
Sounds just like what’s going here in America. Interesting seeing common issues in different countries
There's also former east Germany, they were practically annexed by the west, all the factories dismantled and sold. Their wishes were ignored and it's still largely poor, minus the few cities it has... It's a sad place, I don't blame them for being so unhappy... The DDR had its problems, but at least everyone had jobs, childcare was free etc... They got annexed, gained very little and lost what little good they had..
And that's the real heartland of AFD
Plus ww2 obviously wrecked the country, it had an identity, an idea, now it's all replacement with foreign ideas and materialism.. It's an odd one
Yeah, choose AfD for even more negative change, very clever
The normal people get to the right more and more. We dont need a diversive and rainbow EU.
*"If you read the Quran, you are Muslim!*
*If you understand the Quran, you are Ex-Muslim!"*
An ex-Muslim, and I extremely agree.
The same can be said about both Bible and Tora😏
@@alexanderdrude4265 Agree about the bible, those books are obsolete by a few centuries.
@alexanderdrude4265 I'm a former Christian, and now hold no religion in any high regard.
Muslims, Christian, Jewish, Buddhist, and Hindu are all beautiful ideas, but the practice has been an utter humiliation and farce of the preaching.
I've seen two wars with my own eyes and I've seen what has been done in the name of Gods. That being said you can keep it. If a God wished for his children to war with each other for the difference in prayers then he is not a God, just a petty child playing with toys he's broken.
@@alexanderdrude4265 nope, it can't. The reason why this quote exists about the Quran, is because the Quran doesn't make sense at all and because it advocates for violence against all unbelievers. It is about subjugation and submission and it contradicts the entire Bible. The Quran claims that both the Torah and the Gospel are the word of God, but the Quran narrates a completeley different story and a different set of values. This problem is known as the "Islamic dilemma", because the Quran proves that the Quran is false.
Its almost like the traditional left and right wing parties have failed to solve or ignored problems for so long, that people have started to look to more extreme parties and solutions 🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔
The adf is not a right wing party they are third positionist, in fact the current lesbian leader of the adf actually went to business school in china, so its actually the pro china party unless you say the prc is far right
@@NeostormXLMAX The PRC is culturally far-right. Economically it's state-capitalist.
sadly you aren't wrong. But also that doesn't mean that they would have any more luck in doing so.
@@eisbergsyndrom5010 the cultural axis is not a meaningful political position, and state capitalism is an oxymoron.
The AfD is mostly not very extreme. The real concern should rather be that they might not deliver or focus on the wrong things, like Meloni or Trump.
Enforcing existing immigration law is only "far right" if you're a peon.

EU was supposed to be an economic cooperation. The problem is now they are trying to also determine political decisions, and that doesn't sit well with national sovereignty.

The Germans don't even have a common language each other understand. Try listening to a Bavarian, Saxonian or someone from the coast, there is a very high chance they use a lot of words and proverbs not known in the other parts of Germany.

So the AfD basically wants to implement the immigration policy that is used in Japan. This makes them far-right.

It's not "far right" to care about protecting ones culture and existence. Does no one notice that all cultures are supposed to be respected and appreciated, except cultures from historically Caucasian nations? Those cultures are supposed to just stop existing and if they refuse then they're far right? Makes no logical sense at all. It's just bigotry against them for not wanting to be erased.
Yepp, indigenous American people fought against the settlers and are seen as heroes today. Guess they were nazis too

this misses out many important aspects, like the results of multiple years of prohibited speaking about the problems of immigration, Germany's failed Energiewende and political correctness and identity politics as key drivers behind people voting for Afd.
Everything is far right now. You like egg sandwiches? Far right.
As a rule of thumb, most of western press have over the years gone to extreme ultra far left. So, anything they call "far right" are actually center, or even center left.
But it's true. I mean that's what people call parties that are in favor of deportations and that want to prioritize nationals over other citizens. If you are German and want the egg sandwiches to be distributed first to people considered German, that's far right. Just like giving the the egg sandwiches first to non-Germans is far left. I don't understand what's frustrating with the naming convention. I understand that far right things are not usually popular to people of other ethnicities. But come on. You can't expect people to like being deported/restricted/etc. You probably wouldn't like it either. So, yeah. Egg sandwiches, far right :P

Supporting Putin
A bit scarey... I voted remain even though I don't like the way the EU's ruling executive sometimes acts. I don't agree with blaming immigrants for all ills but no country can take unlimited numbers of immigrants. Maybe the EU apparatchiks should have been more open to the requests the UK made to prevent the BREXIT referendum. Ironically the changes the UK asked for in the area of immigration are now more likely than ever in the EU. In respect to Germany and its political issues... They shouldn't have been so reliant on Russia for cheap gas. Germany's foreign policies have been 'basket case' in scale for decades. 'Mutti Merkal' should have known better as she started her career in the communist East.
What Cameron wanted, unless I'm misremembering, was to freeze EU citizens access to the UK market, remove child benifits (to children outside of the UK) from EU workers (no matter the amount of taxes they pay to the UK). Among other things. There might've been something about migrants from outside the EU but I can't remember them (before the brexit referendum).
I mostly agree, but the reliance on Russian gas was never a problem.
The return to coal is.
The entire Ukraine conflict could have been solved diplomatically in 2014-2022 if the US wanted to.
Either way, the US made sure that Germany is now instead reliant on American LNG instead at triple the rate. Germany is still using gas, they're just hurting their economy while the Americans are counting their profits.
We've all been had and Germany is still fully backing the US like a battered housewife.
The US has managed to gaslight us into believing that we should hate the Russians, although there is really no reason to, while promoting weapons sales through fear and energy exports at a premium rate after they destroyed NordStream. And they _did_ destroy NordStream. Not the Russians, not Ukraine.
I'll make the argument for it if you're interested.
PS: I think that Putin is a piece of shit murderer, but he's not an irrational actor.
Why would we wanna do more to prevent a referendum? Doenst make any political sense. The UK had the best deal out of all member countries allready and still they left. Considering the money each country got per capita, the Eu member nations are actually better off now without the UK then before. The UK was massivly holding back the EU on multiple matters, prevented a common border policy with an EU police and border protection suitable to EU needs.
Since germany has almost na natural gas deposits, its only logical to turn to the nearest cheapest supplier, which was russia. The cheap energy germany got without having any sort of oil or gas on its own is one of the main reasons germanys eco got so strong again. Its the most robust in europe by far, considering its size and almost all other EU economies are tied to the german.
German foreign policy allowed for a peacefull reunification with east germany after the cold was and brought most of the former soviet states into the eurpean fold, with its human rights, wealth and stability.
I really dont know how anyone would call the german foreign policy in the last decades bad, but people you just dont know or are simply not informed.
well tell me this, who blew up nordstream? it was 100% the usa, yes germany shouldnt have been so reliant on natural gas, but a strong ally of germany blows up the pipelines, thats a no go. and for some reason no one talks about it anymore, i wonder why
I am still trying to find that one thing that the EU imposed on the UK, that the UK's representatives opposed but it was still forced on them.

Not 52% of the UK citizens voted for Brexit, that was the percent that bothered to vote.
That’s how it works
True, but it feels a bit dishonest to say 52% when the actual number is closer to 37%.
Only abot 35% people wanted to remain in EU by that logic.😂
The UK could always rejoin; it's not as if Sunak couldn't hold another vote. Some politicians are unwilling to accept that Brexit was a mistake, or rather, that it was initiated incorrectly. If you are so dependent on trade, you have to negotiate contracts before leaving, not after, which puts you in a position of weakness.

IMO, personally I consider sub 80% voter turnout to be bad (to be fair, I was a tad disappointed when the turnout in my country was a bit over 84.20%), and using less than 40% of the total electorate to change the status que to such an extant is worse.

In the context of Germany that is not the epic own you think it is
@@maryanchabursky9148 Then let's review a post-WWII example. In the 1950's, the German Minister of Labour & Social Affairs was a man named Theodor Blank, a member of the CDU. He opposed foreign workers from Türkiye entering the country temporarily, citing large cultural differences between German & Turks. Now compare Blank to Merkel.
The CDU has always been considered a centre-right part, yet a statement like Blanks would be considered far-right today. Why is that?
The Nazis were not “far right.” They were socialists for Christ sakes lol. Their culture was nationalistic. Their economy was entirely left wing.

Sorry guys but you did not portrait the party in the truly correct way in my view. The situation in that party is more differentiated than you did portrait it in my eyes. As I saw the translations of the politicians comments I realized that you did not translate for example Alice Weidel's sentence that she does not accept that the party is put in the far right sector. Questionable as well is that the makers of this content seem to try to put that party closer to Russia as they truly are. Thousands of jobs are being lost in Germany due to very high energy costs and company after company fire their workers. Maybe you as well explain the German population as to why we should be obliged to accept millions of people that illegally entered Germany who will not contribute to the GDP of the country and who will relax in our social welfare system on our costs and explain your audience please as to why this is just fine and what is wrong with it not being OK with this fact?

Very interesting! Thankyou for your channel.
Germany has suffered from incompetent, venal and short sighted governments for a long time, the same as many western democracies. Electing populists with simple answers to complex problems is not the solution. Unfortunately the electorate is easily manipulated. I expect a worsening situation and more flawed Orban style semi democracies .
The fact that Germany is the rolemodel and lead of Europe is scary... The political class is incompetent, the economic class lacks vision and there is little innovation mindset.
And the clearest proof is that
Helmut Kohl had completely no idea what he was doing when he allowed the DDR to be absorbed by West Germany.
The EU's original intent for open dialogue, greater trade, cross border travel leading to more economic stability & less militarised nationalism was solid and successful. BUT BUT BUT politicians and bureaucrats cannot help themselves and so their power and self importance grows out of control until it becomes more about social engineering and not about protecting european peace and prosperity. For the EU to continue it's powers must be significantly cut and restricted through a binding irreversible constitution AND a comprehensive citizens bill of rights must introduced that place the value of individual liberty and self determination above that of the EU.
It's amazing how complaining about the transformation of the EU from a trade league to a supernational governmental identity is considered extremist talk. Major decisions that affect the lives of everyday citizens (such as environmental policy) are decided by Brussels, and I've never seen a good defence of that.

Have you actually bothered to understand the law- and decision making process of the EU? It's a very democratic process and nothing like the "EU-dicatorship" you're trying to portray.
What powers should be cut/restricted? What "comprehensive citizens bill of rights"?
The decisions are made democratically. The EU parliament is elected by the people, the others are the heads of state of the countries and their appointed field-related ministers. Your criticism is very vague and so are your suggestions.
Right now we need Ethno Nationalism especially military Nationalism as we have mass invasion and Russian imperialism problem so we do need to go ultra right wing or we will get destroyed.
@@bobby5678-ck2tc The ultra rightwingers are the ones in line with putin. it is the far right and left that help putin in his invasion.
our AfD wants to stop all sanctions against russia and trade with them. they want to stop supllying ukraine with weapons. similar things happen with the MAGA cult in the US.
What is far right? Besides “thing I don’t like”.
Referring to the AFD as "far right" is a misstep in positioning. The German populace has demonstrated considerable patience despite notable government shortcomings, particularly in attempts to reshape the country's economic structure. Drawing parallels, the AFD can be likened to the CDU of the 1960s and 1970s. It's worth noting that every political party harbors internal factions. If the AFD is labeled as "extreme right," it's only fair to characterize the Greens and Socialists as "Bolsheviks."
yeah it is pretty misleading. But there are some Candidates in the AFD that could be classified as far right like Björn Höcke for example.
"Far right..." Kind of melodramatic, but okay 🤷🏻♀️
Its all a matter of perspective
Not allowing your country to be destroyed doesn't make you far-right or an extremist. It makes you sane.
It depends on what you mean by protecting "your" country.
The idea of the free movement was about workers from Europe moving around. Not about African and Asian illegals storming in millions.
as if the other parties in germany want to destroy germany. It is as far away from the truth as could be. So basiclly you got no point with that saying, since yes you are right, not allowing the country to be destroyed doesnt mean your are right wing, but on the other hand it deosnt really mean anything, since no party wants to destroy its own country, at least in germany. Quit the nonsense.
Yes but it has nothing todo.with this video or afd!
Convincing yourself that your country is being destroyed when in reality it is not is not at all sane. Let me know when you get invaded or the economy is collapsed until then you are just a fear monger.
"Far right" meaning 'not left' or 'funny mustache' man or 'Randian Objectivist'?
“Far right” as in less muslims, less gays, and less self hatred.
@@Thrasalt The funny thing is, even for non-Germans: How far right can you go beyond Islam? It's essentially as far right as the political targets of the NS regime. None of them support the existence of Israel; in general, they oppose women's rights, assigning them specific religious roles ordained by the creator, and are by far the most violent against non-conformist individuals.
Clickbait Titel. You spent most of the video talking about the context and background of the afd and in the last 2 minutes you briefly mentioned the reasons of its resurgence. It would be interesting if you made a video that actually and in detail discusses the reasons behind afd's growing popularity
never fail an art student
More fear mongering about the AfD. Everything for those sweet views 😊
Are you blind? The AfD is questioning the existence of the EU.
Right-wing party: A
Media: Far right.
Nah, they got certified far right people there. Some of them even going into genetic selection and stuff.
@@StrikerJaken For u guys, EVERYTHING is "far-right"!!! As a Brazilian, I watched u guys call a pro-israel a "Nazi", a pro freedom of speech a "dictator" & pro-migration (Venezuela) a "imperialist"... Just so I can NOW watch our new president censor journalists, directly fund Hamas & receive his real dictator friend Nicolas Maduro in Brazilian soil just to be applauded by you guys saying Brazil is going back to "democracy" (Although I can now be arrested just for this comment) 🥲

@@StrikerJaken and everyone leftist party have far left activists also.
Simple :
Because they don’t want to look like Brazil 🇧🇷
Many German people have square-like chin, it is a prominent feature.
I'm just trying to listen to the news, the heavy metal guitar riffs don't help, I keep having to adjust the volume.
They are not "far right". They are just people who actually want their country to survive.
I do love the hilarious apocalyptic rhetoric nazi sympathizers seem to have about anyone who doesnt think the way they do.

@@thepax2621 *Swede, but to SS roleplayers anyone who's not German often look all the same to you.
But brexit clearly failed, why would Germany think "thats great lets do the same".
Brexit was never implemented. Please don't kid yourself. However we did not crumble and fall as predicted by the so called experts.
Talk to AfD followers and you'll find as much brains in them as in the supporters of Brexit.
I think you are using the term "alt-right" wrong, it is not a synonym of "far-right" but rather its own thing, alt-right is referring to an neo-nazi internet movement. I highly doubt you were trying to claim the AFD is neo-nazis nor that it is an internet far-right movement... So please be more careful in the choice of words, why use the very broad poorly defined "alt-right" when the much more apt and established "far-right" is available.
With twi new parties emerging on the extreme spectrum, I don‘t see how AfD would keep its position as the main far right party.
Germany has no industry or energy to sustain it. It seems natural to ask questions like, wjere will the jobs or food come from?
germany has no industry???? how on earth did you come to that conclusion mate
@@oktoberfest2140 oh, simple, really. I listened to Germany's government failing to send weapons and ammo to Ukraine while it fell into what, the 3rd year of undeclared recession? By all means, just look at the numbers. Oh, and the green revolution? What are the carbon offsets for burning lignite?
The shell game is over, and now Europe gets to pay it's own way.
its the 4th biggest economy in the world and you are saying the got no industry dude. They failed at the start thats very much the truth but have become by far the 2nd biggest supplier since in absolut terms.
And the recession in also true, tho that actually has more to do with the world economy then germany, since german eco is an export economy, so if the world eco is doing bad, they buy less stuff from germny in return the germans sell and make less so their eco skrinks. Nothing extraordinary tho, its simply the economic cycle we have seen for the idk 10th time maybe. Its how the world eco works really.@@philipbronson8709
The question is why are the people from the DDR dragging Germany down?
in a perfect world there would be a blue fact check box under this video.
Nice Video over all! ❤️
But why didn‘t you mention or introduce Björn Höcke - the Führer of the party wing „der Flügel“?
Yep He excluded Most of the reasons AFD is classified AS right wing extremists in big parts !
2:41 why did you remove Italy as the 4th largest net contributor to the EU budget? I guess it doesn't fit the narrative of the video.
Minor mistake at 4:55. This is a guy called "Bernd" and not the capital of Switzerland
Another mistake, 4:13 should be CDU, not UCD
@@der-greif3921 You are right. Ucd may be a direct translation of cdu, but I guess this is kind of inconsistent if the video uses afd instead of afg.
I think its mostly a protest vote against open borders. In other cases its a protest vote against measures to tackle climate change, especially in the farming sector (I support tackling climate change but this is a fact). Theres also the traditional Far Right vote that always existed in post war Germany of about 5% within there. Also there are social conservatives who have drifted away from the CDU as its become more liberal. The AFD started off as an anti-bailout party but a number of the early leaders left as it moved more to the Far Right.
AfD wants Germany to achieve a reform of the EU. Only if this approach fails the AfD wants Germany to conduct a plebiscite about Germany‘s EU membership.
Now the exit looks like the last resort, but when in power they will make all reforms and negotiations with the EU will fail because unrealistic expectations (like with GB). So they can remove the whole 'reforms first' part from their program.
@@alphastratus6623 if you look at the EU as it stands now with the undemocratic corrupt people sitting in the parlament, there is indeed not much too reform. As you can see in germany right now, people in power will do almost anything to stay in power, that won't be different regarding the EU government.
As a rule of thumb, most of western press have over the years gone to extreme ultra far left. So, anything they call "far right" are actually center, or even center left.
Yes, that's why there is a governmental focus on fact checking and limitations on hate speech...so that the center of reporting and public debate doesn't get shifted back to normal but gets locked in and frozen at the current extreme.
They call it "far right" to not call them other things.. so don't complain
"... most of western press... gone to EXTREME ULTRA FAR LEFT." Please explan what "extreme ultra" means in this context.
Maybe just your opinion change to a "extreme ultra super mega dupy far "right view?
@@Lord0irgendwas I was on the left when I was 20s. But after my 30s, I grew a brain.
@@gorilladisco9108 Ok, then explane please with your grown brian what:"extreme ultra far left" mean.
I think a key reason is the CDUs leadership before and the weiter so in 2015
If we as europeans only wanna keep a fraction of our power in global affairs, There is very little place for national independence.
The level of political education in Germany can be abysmal. Same dor economics.
Germans don't understand basic economic concepts like why the exchange rate may vary.
Trying to talk tho thise peiple is like speaking Persian to a Greek.
Because leftism ideology go soooo strong
The adf is third positionist, they are not far right, please do research, the leader of the adf literally went to school in china and supports state capitalism so thats different from monarchist or oligarchys which are traditionally far right
As a German, I think the explanation in this article about the AFD is quite successful.
11:25 they wont even hide it welp time to gear up
It is the failure of traditional liberal parties to adress the needs of people that has brought about the birth of these new positions in politics. Most people, even in the US, are loathe to be in a military competition with Russia/China. The want a decent standard of living, education and job security. Across the West, the idea that what is good for big business is good for everyone has failed to provide a sustainable future for workers. The "forever wars" of the US have destabilized the globe, globalization has shipped good jobs out of the West, and identitiy politics have isolated large swathes of people. The destabilization of the globe will get worse. In the US, if Trump isn't arrested, he may very well win that election. If he does, the old order is likely to crumble. Then we will see where everyone stands.
Any chance that this leads to reforms in the structure of the EU? Any chance that this leads to a more rational immigration and asylum policy?
Nope. That would mean that Brussels acknowledges misstakes and at least attempts to correct it.
Thats not going to happen anytime soon.
Its the one thing no politician can do, not while they're still try to collects benefits, money and scraps of self-perceived power.
Which is most if not all of them.
Besides the EU is a bureaucracy Monster. Nothing gets done fast, especially not changes to a system which has been running for a while already.
@@thepax2621 This really is the heart of it. The energy and immigration policies of the EU clearly aren't benefiting the ordinary citizen. Rather than admit fault and change course, the bureaucrats and politicians in Brussels just double up.
No chance, you will see opposition banning and speech control instead of EU reform of open doors or environmental austerity.
@Pan_Z Also the limiting of fertiliser and tax breaks on farmers.
There is; there are talks about reducing the number of immigrants by establishing more border-controls and even keeping people "inprisoned" for some month until their status has been decided on. So things are slowly moving toward a more conservative approach.
In the first five minutes of this video i already noticed 2 mistakes, it's not the "CUD" but the CDU, and the name of the man speaking at 4:53 is not "Bern" but "Bernd Lucke". Is your script AI generated?

Given that the EU is Germany's largest export market, no party would dare to leave the EU, whatever they say.
This would just force a re-arrangement of the situation.
