Honestly, I think it’s about time someone in Germany started pushing back against the establishment and standing up for national interests. The media always calls any right-leaning group “far-right” or tries to smear them just for wanting sensible immigration policies. This “rebranding” is probably just to fend off constant attacks from the left and the press. If AfD is making political gains, maybe it’s because regular people are fed up with failed open-border policies and want their voices heard.
