The far-right party is now polling as the second-strongest political force, while even the center-right CDU has backed tougher immigration measures in Parliament, controversially aligning with the AfD in a move that sparked protests.

With the German election just days away, the reaction to these debates could shape the country’s future stance on immigration, asylum, and refugees deportation.
