For the first time since the party entered parliament about nine years ago, the anti-democratic cordon sanitaire around the right-wing, anti-globalist Alternative für Deutschland appears to have cracked wide open.
According to the latest INSA/Bild poll, fewer than half of all German voters (just 49%) now say they would “never” vote AfD—down from a staggering 75% only a few years ago,
This is nothing short of a historic breakthrough. Despite years of state-funded smear campaigns, constant domestic intelligence surveillance (Verfassungsschutz), court cases, job dismissals, bank account closures, repeated violence against party members by left-globalist extremists, and even serious discussions about banning the party outright, ordinary Germans are finally seeing through the propaganda and recognizing the AfD as the only serious opposition to a failing system.
The same out-of-touch, entrenched political class that lectures the public about “defending democracy” has spent billions of taxpayer euros on bloated public broadcasters (GEZ-Gebühren), state-aligned “fact-checkers,” and a sprawling ‘anti-extremism’ industry whose real purpose is to silence dissent—yet all of that money and effort has failed spectacularly.
The AfD has just hit 26% nationwide, once again overtaking the crumbling, discredited CDU/CSU and cementing its position as Germany’s strongest political force.
While the Greens collapse to a humiliating 11% and the SPD limps along at 15%, the AfD is surging among exactly the people who keep this country running: skilled workers, families, young men, and increasingly women and eastern Germans who are fed up with being ignored and lectured.
Additionally, the poll revealed that Alice Weidel, the AfD’s co-leader, has stormed back into the top ten most popular politicians—a slap in the face to the Berlin bubble that spent years smearing her and her party “Nazis.”
Nothing about the AfD’s core policy positions has changed: controlled borders, an end to the uncontrolled mass migration experiment, protection of German identity and culture, affordable energy, lower taxes for hardworking working and middle class Germans, and putting citizens first when it comes to housing, schools, and welfare.
Tragically—and entirely unnecessarily—Germans now live daily with the consequences of the 2015–2025 open-borders experiment. Knife attacks, gang rapes, and street violence are routinely buried or softened by a globalist-backed media apparatus terrified of telling its population the truth.
Christmas markets—once symbols of peace—now sit behind columns of massive concrete barriers and squads of armed police because the government imported risks it can no longer control.
The establishment has failed miserably on the economic front as well. Rent and housing prices have exploded, while hundreds of thousands of new arrivals are placed directly into apartments and hotels—all at the expense of German taxpayers.
Like in Britain, Ireland, France, and elsewhere in Western Europe, Germans are too being forced by hostile, anti-European elites to pay for their own replacement.
Pensions and infrastructure continue to rot, even as billions in taxpayer money are funneled to people who have never contributed a cent to the system. And energy prices—driven by ideological climate mandates and the EU cutting itself off from cheap Russian gas and oil—have turned Germany into a rapidly declining power among industrial nations.
Classrooms struggle as teachers spend half their time translating instead of teaching, the result of a decade of nonexistent integration policy.
These are the realities everyday Germans face, while their leaders gaslight them, saying the system is working exactly as intended.
The AfD warned about all of this years ago—back when saying it out loud got you labeled an extremist. These days, however, those warnings read like the evening news.
The more the establishment panics—the more they talk about bans, firewall tactics, new speech laws, or rigging electoral thresholds—the more obvious it becomes that they are terrified of actual democracy.
They know that if Germans are given a free and fair choice, millions who once bought the scare stories now trust the AfD to finally put Germany first again.
The AfD is no longer “coming”—it has arrived as the people’s party. And no amount of state repression or media hysteria can put that genie back in the bottle.
