German Far-Right Party AfD Gains Momentum with International Support

Alice Weidel, AfD's unconventional leader, aligns with Elon Musk and looks to Trump administration for legitimacy ahead of February elections.

Alice Weidel, leader of Germany's far-right AfD, has positioned the party as a rising force, securing over 20% in recent polls, making it the second-largest party in Germany.
Elon Musk's public endorsement and live-streaming of the AfD congress have significantly amplified the party's international visibility and reach.
The AfD is fostering ties with the incoming Trump administration, with leaders viewing this relationship as key to reshaping Germany’s global alliances, including potential links with Russia.
Weidel's leadership has unified the party’s factions while embracing controversial policies, including calls for mass deportations under the term 'remigration.'
Despite historical and political resistance, the AfD is leveraging international far-right movements and figures to erode its extremist image and gain broader acceptance.
