Summary
Germany’s far-right AfD party held its national convention in Erfurt, rallying behind leaders Alice Weidel and Tino Chrupalla as they aim to capitalize on their status as the country’s largest opposition force. Marking the 100th anniversary of a pivotal Nazi rally, the AfD brushes off historical parallels while positioning 2026 as a “year of destiny.” Fueling their momentum, they’re tapping into public discontent with economic policies and eyeing a historic 40%+ win in Saxony-Anhalt’s September 6 election — a potential leap toward forming a state government. With mainstream parties maintaining a firm “firewall” stance, the AfD’s rise underscores deepening political fractures across Germany.
