Who are those 50.000 that went from green party to afd? What kind of reason could there possibly be for that?
Also interesting how it's the same as in the us where the answer to "how's the country doing economically" vastly depends on your news sources since only a very low amount of people in Germany are out of work, the Dax is hitting multiple records in recent months, the economy is growing, inflation is going down and the unions are achieving raises above the inflation level
But for some reason all you hear about is the food prizes which actually didn't increase that much compared to the normal shrinkflation. Or everyone was portraying how there would be disastrous power outages after the switch off of the atomic generators but nothing like that happened. Or how Germany had the lowest inflation amongst most European countries despite having the biggest dependency on russian gas because the political decisions made where actually really on point.
But for some reason nothing of this is reaching AFD voters so they keep ignorant and think the economy is failing.
Kind of similar to how regions with the fewest migrants are the most racist since the media has full control over the scare tactics targeted at them without any reality interfering
Not to speculate too much but according to court records, Beate Zschäpe browsed Greenpeace news before setting the camper ablaze.
The German far-right has never been anti-environmentalist as such, much to the contrary: On the first Green party convention there were a lot of people who were of the opinion that not enough is being done for the German forest. Until they got kicked out with prejudice. It's the centre-right which likes to bury nuclear waste in leaky barrels in leaky salt mines.
Yeah but the green party is like the official antagonist for the AfD
Of all the parties there are their favourite target to delegitimize at any possiblity
