The far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) is gaining significant momentum, now the second-largest party in polls ahead of Germany's election. The party’s rise is driven by dissatisfaction with the political establishment, particularly over issues like immigration and economic inequality. With its anti-immigrant rhetoric and ultra-nationalist agenda, AfD has found growing support, particularly in eastern Germany where economic struggles are more pronounced.
