PoliticsGermany’s AfD labeled far-right, populist or extremist

The Alternative for Germany is described with terms including right-wing, far-right, fascist and populist. Political scientist Armin Pfahl-Traughber says “far-right extremist” is more fitting because of what he sees as the party’s rejection of democratic values alongside an emphasis on ethnic identity. The glossary also explains right-wing conservatism and völkisch ideology.
