In Germany's recent elections, the conservative alliance emerged victorious with 28.5% of the vote, closely followed by the far-right AfD at over 20%. These results have caused concern among foreign residents, especially given the campaign's anti-immigration rhetoric. Despite remaining excluded from coalition talks, the AfD's influence mired the election in fears of racism and xenophobia, highlighting a troubling shift in political discourse around immigration in Germany. The AfD’s tactics, including misleading campaign materials about deportations, further contributed to this climate of anxiety.
"With an election campaign marked by anti-immigration rhetoric, it's not hard to see why many people - especially those with a foreign background - in Germany feel worried about these results."
"The party has still spread racist and xenophobic hate speech and is helping to shape the political agenda despite being excluded from future coalition government."
