The rating of the far-right Alternative for Germany continues to grow. In a new poll, the German far-right has overtaken other political forces.

The Social Democratic Party of Germany retained its 15% in the Trendbarometer poll, while the Green Party and the Left lost one point and dropped to 11% and 9%, respectively.
The authors of the survey asked respondents about their reasons for supporting Alternative for Germany.
Thus, 22% of respondents named poor governance of the future coalition of the CDU/CSU and SPD, and 20% - "dissatisfaction" with the current parties. 19% of respondents named "sufficient restrictions on immigration" as a condition for not switching to the AfD, 11% said they had noticed a decrease in the number of "right-wing extremists" in the party.

Earlier, the leader of the far-right party "Alternative for Germany" and a candidate for chancellor, Alice Weidel, said that her political force seeks to "have very good relations" with Russia.
Representatives of the far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) party also said that Russia's war against Ukraine is not a German matter. These statements were made a few days before the federal elections to be held on February 23.
