> The AfD has widened its advantage in the latest nationwide Sunday poll. At the same time, opposition to excluding the right-wing populist party from decision-making is growing. Increasing numbers of people appear to reject a blanket ban on the party’s participation, at least in some individual cases. The findings point to continuing debate over the AfD’s place in German political decision-making.
