    Keep in mind that the AfD is a right wing party that has literal nazis in leading positions. I highly doubt that this is just a coincidence.

      A member of the leftwing party DIE LINKE seems to have thought the same and filed a criminal report about it.

      Edit: Oh, and fun fact. The AfD candidate whose name is on this poster is a federal police officer.

        The piece manages to shed some light on recent events regarding extremism and the AfD here in Germany. Sadly it’s geoblocked here.

        Other interesting revelations include connections between the AfD and Russia. The AfD pursues a policy of friendliness towards Russia and a stop to aid torwards Ukraine. In exchange Russia is trying to strengthen the party by spreading misinformation and probably financial aid.
