Support for far-right party rises among young voters in Germany ahead of elections

Support for the far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) party is rising among young voters, with recent polls showing it in second place ahead of national elections. This shift contrasts with past trends where younger voters favored left-wing parties. The AfD's appeal is partly due to concerns over immigration and crime, particularly following several violent incidents involving asylum seekers. The party has gained notable support from influential figures like Elon Musk, who has publicly endorsed its platform. While younger voters are increasingly backing the AfD, older generations, particularly those who remember Nazi Germany, are alarmed by this trend. Activist groups like Grannies Against the Right are working to counter the rise of far-right ideologies in Germany.
