Part 2/8:
Currently, the Alternative for Germany (AfD) party is gaining significant traction, emerging as the second most popular political party in Germany with a startling 22% support. The growing popularity of the AfD is alarming to many in the German political landscape, particularly among traditional parties such as CDU/CSU (Christian Democratic Union/Christian Social Union), who are now leading by a mere eight points. The AfD's platform includes controversial stances, such as exiting the European Union and the eurozone.
