Episode 3.62 - Is the Far Right a Real Threat in Germany?

Please join me and my special guest, historian Ulf Clerwall, for a timely discussion on the rise of the Alternative for Germany (AfD) and what its growing political strength could mean for Germany and Europe. We’ll explore what is driving the AfD’s rise, why it is attracting an increasing share of German voters, how its success is reshaping Germany’s political landscape, and what the consequences could be for the country’s traditional political parties. We’ll also look beyond Germany: What could a stronger AfD mean for the European Union, NATO, immigration policy, relations with the United States, and the broader direction of European politics? Join us for an important conversation about one of the most consequential political developments taking place in Europe today.
