The Hardline Path Forward: AfD's Ambition to Govern Germany Takes Shape The Alternative for Germany (AfD) has long been a thorn in German politics.
Its recent national convention underscored the party's hardline stance on governance, with co leader Alice Weidel asserting that her party is "ready to govern" despite ongoing scrutiny from domestic intelligence agencies.
Weidel's re election as co leader and the appointment of six new board members from state branches classified by German authorities as right wing extremist organizations suggest the AfD is doubling down on its hardline strategy.
