Original analysis generated by News Analysis. This is our own commentary on the story, not the publisher's article text.
The article discusses a book analyzing the success of the AfD party in Eastern Germany during recent elections (2024 and 2025). It argues that while the AfD's election programs lack solutions for current German problems, their appeal stems from powerful narratives. The analysis suggests that two key narratives are at play: the feeling of being 'second-class citizens' among East Germans, and a broader sense of deprivation.
Key points
- The AfD is criticized for lacking concrete policy solutions to address current problems facing Germany.
- The party's success is attributed not to its policies, but to its ability to tell compelling stories or narratives.
- The shift in the media landscape and the power of algorithms have diminished traditional media's role in shaping political narratives.
- Researchers analyzed election results across five Eastern German states, focusing on 2024 and 2025 elections.
- Two core narratives are identified as driving support for the AfD: the 'second-class citizen' narrative and a general sense of deprivation.
