Migrant student in Berlin supports far-right AfD party for upcoming German elections

express.co.uk

Alam Shahriar, a Bangladeshi student in Berlin, supports the far-right Alternative für Deutschland (AfD) party for the upcoming elections. He believes the party would benefit migrants like himself, despite its anti-migration stance. The AfD is expected to gain significant votes, possibly becoming the second most popular party. This marks a shift in German politics, as younger voters increasingly support tougher immigration policies. The election is seen as crucial, with the AfD's rise challenging traditional parties. Critics warn of the party's extremist views, while supporters like Shahriar argue for a focus on economic issues alongside migration.
