The AfD, Alternative for Germany, won the regional elections in a German state, Thuringia, on Sunday and was the second force in Saxony. Moreover, in the last European elections, it was the dominant force in all of East Germany. We have always said that Nazism is forbidden in Germany and it has been cited as an example in many debates about the Spanish far right. So: how is this possible? How can such a party impose itself in a Germany that, in theory, feels so guilty about what happened and so proud of having rectified history?
We analyzed it with the journalist Andreu Jerez Ríos, who writes for elDiario.es from Germany about these elections, and with Franco Delle Donne, author of the podcast Epidemia Ultra.
