The revelation this month of secret plans by politicians from the Alternative for Germany (AfD) and right-wing extremists to expel migrants has led an increasing number of political scientists and Holocaust survivors to suggest banning the party on the grounds that it has become radicalized.
AfD members themselves believe that the party is on the verge of a breakthrough. According to opinion polls, it is set for major success in local, state and European Parliament elections. In eastern Germany, the party is well ahead of its opponents, polling at over 30%.
