Alternative für Deutschland gains support in eastern Germany

Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 22 Sept, 14:52

The far-right Alternative für Deutschland (AfD) is achieving electoral success in eastern German states.

The AfD's rise is attributed partly to protest against west German dominance since 1990. The party holds markedly different positions from Germany's governing coalition on Ukraine, foreign aid and Russia, with international implications for these policy areas.
