## Resource

AfD surges toward power in Germany, with leaders Tilo Chruppala and Alice Weidel re-elected at a fiery conference, declaring their intent to govern. Polls show the party leading at 27%, with 41% support in eastern states ahead of key elections. Amid protests and police clashes, Chruppala labeled demonstrators “thugs” while Weidel framed the party as the solution to Germany’s problems. Rising concerns over alleged Russian ties and intelligence risks have sparked national debate — 40% of Germans support banning the far-right party, while 45% oppose it, and 15% remain undecided. The traditional political firewall against AfD is now under serious question as Germany braces for a seismic shift in its political landscape.
