Alternative for Germany

thumb Alternative for Germany is a far-right, right-wing populist, national conservative, and in parts völkisch nationalist political party in Germany. It has 151 members of the Bundestag and 15 members of the European Parliament. It is the largest opposition party in the Bundestag and a member of the Europe of Sovereign Nations Group in the European Parliament. Its name reflects its resistance to the mainstream policies of Angela Merkel and her slogan Alternativlosigkeit (lit. 'alternative-less-ness', a German version of "there is no alternative"). Quotes I think this election coming up in Germany is incredibly important. I think it could decide the entire fate of Europe, maybe the fate of the world.
