    Episode 87: Comeback or coincidence? What a resurgent Alternative for Germany means for the country. Common Ground Berlin


German polls suggest that if elections were held today, the far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) would garner more votes than most of the country’s mainstream parties, including those in the governing coalition. That has some politicians rethinking their “firewall” against the populist faction and whether it makes sense to partner with the AfD on local issues.
Host Soraya Sarhaddi Nelson talks to Politico Europe Senior Politics Reporter in Germany Hans von der Burchard, the German Marshall Fund’s Sudha David-Wilp, and others about the reasons and implications of a resurgent AfD.
Also featuring students from the Magdeburg-Stendal University of Applied Sciences.
This episode was produced by Dina Elsayed.
