""The AfD supports and fuels the concerns that exist among the working class," communications researcher Frank Brettschneider from the University of Hohenheim said on public broadcaster Sudwestrundfunk (SWR)."
"An election analysis by the polling institute Infratest dimap on the recent state election in Rhineland-Palatinate paints a bleak picture for the Social Democrats, finding that 71% of respondents agreed with the statement: "The SPD no longer clearly stands on the side of workers.""
The Alternative for Germany (AfD) achieved 19.5% of the vote in Rhineland-Palatinate, more than doubling its previous result. It has become the most popular party among working-class and low-income voters, with 39% support. The party's rise is attributed to fears of job loss and social decline amid economic stagnation. The Social Democrats (SPD) are declining, with 71% of voters believing they no longer represent workers. The AfD is capitalizing on this gap by addressing the concerns of the working class.
