The AfD is not dangerous as a ‘fascist’ party or ‘right-wing party’ (it is normal to be politically ‘right-wing’). The AfD is just as narrow-minded in a German way as its chairman Weigel or Gauland. Even Höcke is an ordinary narrow-minded German with quasi-intellectual traits.
Nevertheless, the AfD is extremely dangerous for Europe. It is much more dangerous than Le Pen, not to mention Meloni. It cannot compete with either of them. For the AfD is pro-Russian in a very German way, like Bismarck and Stresemann. Should this party come to power, which seems inevitable, it will awaken the imperial Russian spirit that lies dormant in all German parties. Security, freedom and the future of Central and North-Eastern Europe, as well as Ukraine and Belarus, are not important to Germans infected with this virus. With the exception of the Greens, all German parties will call for a resumption of Schröder and Merkel's Russia policy, which contributed significantly to Russia's attack on Ukraine. This change will be evident in the demand for a resumption of Nord Stream.
This will destroy the EU. That is why the AfD is extremely dangerous.
