The AfD, like the Nazis, would decide what is true art.

The article discusses how the far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) is using the historical example of the Nazi regime's suppression of the Bauhaus architectural movement to frame contemporary debates about art and cultural values. It references the 1933 closure of the Bauhaus school under Nazi pressure and notes that the far-right seeks to control artistic standards, similar to past totalitarian regimes. The piece highlights the political implications of this stance, particularly in light of upcoming regional elections where AfD could gain power. It also mentions recent polling data showing AfD has 43% support compared to CDU’s 23%, though the article does not explicitly state which side it supports.
