Alternative for Germany

Alternative for Germany is a far-right, right-wing populist, and national-conservative political party in Germany. The AfD is Eurosceptic and pro-Russian, and opposes immigration into Germany, especially Muslim immigration. The name of the party reflects its resistance to policies of Angela Merkel with her insistence on Alternativlosigkeit. The Federal Office for the Protection of the Constitution, Germany's domestic intelligence agency, has classified the party as a "suspected extremist" organisation.
