Germany's AfD: We Share the Same Values with Trump | DW News

Oct 2, 2025 | Members of the AfD, the right-wing German party, are becoming regulars in Washington, meeting with Donald Trump's administration to “tie the bonds,” as Markus Frohnmaier told DW’s Bureau Chief Ines Pohl during an interview. She asked him about the commonalities between the MAGA movement and his party, as well as the significance of Donald Trump's support and that of his cabinet, not only for the AfD but also for other right-wing parties across Europe. The AfD has been officially classified as a "confirmed right-wing extremist endeavor" by Germany's Federal Office for the Protection of the Constitution (Bundesamt für Verfassungsschutz or BfV).


This man is impressed by Trump! That tells us all we need to know. Alarm bells should be ringing. — © Mark Alexander
