The AfD is a weak, economy run party that prefers a "North Euro" and a "South Euro". They have nice election results but it is believed (by "experts") that they are a temporary appearance that will level off somewhere in the meaninglessness. The AfD is also regularly accused of right wing extremism over their alleged Deutsch Mark claims. For example, just days ago, the Twitter-Account of the AfD Hesse was hacked and littered with slogans like "Yes, we are Nazis". While the AfD is not a right wing or even Nazi party, it nevertheless faces the shitstorms that rain on everybody in Germany who is considered "Non-Democrat", "Nazi", or "Right-Wing Extremist". The ones who are attentive notice that there is no right winger in Germany but only "rechtsradikale Nazis".
