Germany’s political landscape has come into focus globally after the far-right Alternative for Deutschland (AfD) made historic gains in recent state elections, including a strong result in Saxony-Anhalt. The party’s rise has prompted concern among many Germans at home and abroad, particularly given its positions on migration, the European Union and how Germany’s history is taught in schools. So how do Germans in Australia feel about it all? Plus, is the AfD’s success primarily an eastern German phenomenon, what do the recent election results reveal about voter behaviour and the complex social, historical and economic forces shaping contemporary German politics.
