AfD poised to become second largest party in German parliament after elections

The Alternative for Germany (AfD) party is expected to become the second largest party in the German parliament after elections on Sunday. This marks a significant shift in German politics, as the AfD is often labeled as radical and anti-democratic. Germany's economy is facing challenges, with criticism over its reliance on outdated industries and infrastructure issues. The country is also grappling with migration debates, which have fueled the AfD's rise in popularity. Despite its growing support, the AfD is unlikely to join the government due to Germany's coalition-based political system. The party claims to be conservative and libertarian, while opponents argue it poses a threat to democracy.
