The recent election in Germany saw a resurgence of right-wing parties amid a failing economic model. Both the CDU/CSU and AfD capitalized on public discontent stemming from an energy crisis and economic mismanagement. The elections revealed a crumbling faith in governmental responses to economic challenges, with many voters feeling their situations were worsening. This discontent fueled the rise of the AfD, indicating that economic despair can lead to increased demands for political change, particularly towards the far-right.
Because when the economic pie starts shrinking, the struggles over how to divide it escalate.
85 percent of AfD voters believe that things are not fair in Germany.
The overall economic situation was also considered poor by 96 percent of AfD voters and 90 percent of CDU/CSU voters.
A loss of confidence in the government, a bitter migration debate, and an ongoing economic crisis brought the government down.
