Its difficulty is that the label is usually meant as an insult. Its detractors portray it as a party of naïve academics who have waded into the rough seas of politics only to sink without trace at the federal election in September.
The party does not seem like other anti-immigration parties in Europe, in which immigration is the big issue - for the AfD, the euro is the big
issue” The AfD usually gets 2-3% support in the opinion polls. If it can raise that to 5%, under the electoral laws of Germany it gets seats in the Bundestag (lower house), and in a coalition system, small parties then have power. The AfD leadership says that the polls understate support - their theory is that many people do not admit that they might vote for them, because the party is outside the mainstream. Maybe they should argue in a more aggressive way, but they avoid it to maintain their serious image. On the streets, the leadership says campaigners are generally met with polite curiosity and genuine interest, but occasionally with outright hostility and even violence from the far left. Their founder, Professor Dr Bernd Lucke, an economist from the University of Hamburg, was attacked on stage. Apart from the attack on the party's leader, posters were routinely torn down. Of 1,000 posters in Stuttgart, 24 hours, 80% were destroyed. The euro is now on the political agenda in the forthcoming elections. Chancellor Merkel may have decided that it was best left alone - let sleeping dogs lie, as it were - but the euro dog is now barking. ABCD
