As the 2025 general election approaches, the political landscape is heavily influenced by acts of violence connected to migrants from majority-Muslim countries. The AfD party’s polling numbers have risen significantly in recent months, moving from 10% in the 2021 election to over 21% recently, due in part to heightened fears around immigration. Their leader, Alice Weidel, is emphasizing deportation policies while framing the conversation around public safety. While all major parties share similar anti-immigration stances, the AfD’s strategy appears to resonate more significantly with voters, driven by a cycle of fear and political messaging.
The AfD’s rise in popularity correlates with incidents of violence linked to migrants, showcasing a disturbing political dynamic where fear influences voter sentiment.
Despite lacking governmental experience, the AfD capitalizes on immigration fears, promoting a strict anti-immigration agenda and benefiting from their perceived credibility in this area.
