The election of the first head of a county administration by the far-right Alternative of Germany in a rural eastern region recently has led to concern among opponents of the party.
“Far-right” candidate and party which… checks notes… supports free speech, democracy, and rule of law. The article appears to throw around the term as a pejorative but it doesn’t even appear to be accurate.
Leading figures of the AfD are outright fascists (to the degree that it was ruled in court that one of its most prominent members can rightfully be called a Nazi).
Just because they don’t step into parliament and declare Germany a dictatorship doesn’t mean they aren’t a threat to democracy and won’t nudge the country towards facism once in power.
Where do you get the “supporters of free speech, democracy and rule of law” thing from.Oh, it’s how the party describes itself? Well that’s reliable…
The AfD is nothing of anything you just mentioned. Especially in Thüringen where this clusterfuck is taking place, the AfD is as much full-on Nazi-mode as you couldn’t imagine in your wildest wet dreams about the Führer in latex underwear.

Thüringen übersetzt man mit Thuringia in Englisch.
A pro-AfD comment gets 7 upvotes and only 5 downvotes? Seriously, Lemmy?
Sorry your left wing echo chamber isn’t echo chambery enough for you
An anti-Nazi consensus does not constitute a “left wing echo chamber”.
