The right-wing extremist Alternative for Germany party is increasingly open about its rejection of democratic principles. But public support is soaring nonetheless. The party's focus on professionalism could be one reason why.
Maximilian Krah adjusts the microphone in front of him before placing both hands on the lectern and addressing his party’s soaring numbers in public opinions:"We have more than doubled our support within a single year. And one thing is certain: We are far from satisfied!"
Speaking at the AfD party convention in Magdeburg last weekend, Kostadinov said that Germany has been"a cornerstone of Europe" for"more than 1,000 years.” In the last century, he continued, Bulgaria and Germany were"allied twice in war," a reference to World War I and World War II. The AfD delegates applauded loudly.
In one speech, for example, a speaker claimed that the"globalists," that ominous international elite, were seeking to enslave German citizens. Or that these self-same"globalists" were pursuing a"Great Reset," a reference to a conspiracy theory which holds that the elite are seeking a realignment of the global economy. The"great replacement" also made an appearance on the AfD stage, the idea that plans are afoot to replace the population with migrants.
The AfD hasn’t just recognized that conditions have been in its favor in recent years, the party also came up with simple-sounding solutions for these vast issues. The AfD has long demanded that Germany’s borders be closed, except to skilled workers, and that the pace of deportations be increased. The party also began calling early on for an immediate end to measures implemented to combat the spread of COVID-19 and also periodically denied the danger of the virus.
By constantly repeating the unsayable, the party has shifted the goalposts on what is acceptable. Meanwhile, values that used to have positive connotations – like moral rectitude and charity – have been devalued. Germans eager to help those in need or stand up for minorities are regarded by the AfD as naïve ideologues.
