Part 6/11:
In recent years, Germany has witnessed a growing support for far-right parties, particularly the Alternative for Germany (AfD). This resurgence raises concerns over xenophobia, racism, and a potential return to nationalist ideologies reminiscent of the past. With the AfD’s platform rooted in anti-immigration sentiments and the trivialization of the Holocaust, the political climate has alarmed both domestic and international observers.
Social inequalities fuel such movements, with rising costs of living and economic instability contributing to societal divisions. The average German, under financial strain, may turn toward simpler narratives that scapegoat immigrants and minorities, further eroding social cohesion and leading to increased hate crimes.
