Germany has had to face an enormous
increase of the right extremist political scene for a few years.
Right parties as the NPD (Nationaldemocratic Party Germany) have been
popular for a long time, especially in poor regions in Eastern
Germany. However, a new party called AfD (Alternative for Germany)
has entered the scene in 2013 and set the goal to fight against the
European Union and the Refugees who came to Germany within the last
two years. They fear an islamisation of the society and an increase
of terrorism. The party, run by the politician Frauke Petry, is
popular all around the country and elected by the working as well as
the upper class. The established parties try to understand why the
AfD gains so much attention and attempts to win the voters over to
the right populist party. One way to convince the voters is better
education and information about general politics and a better
understanding of the German past. Besides, the establishment should
make clear arguments and lead intelligible campaigns so that the
people are not afraid of being left-behind and forgotten anymore.
