GermanyThe 'Frankfurter Allgemeine Bürgergespräch' discussed the growing influence of the Alternative for Germany (AfD), focusing on why many voters choose the party. The discussion highlighted the concept of a 'representation gap,' where traditional parties neglect certain issues, leading to the rise of new parties like the AfD. The AfD's appeal was attributed to economic anxieties and fears of social decline rather than purely economic hardship. While some entrepreneurs support the AfD due to promises of tax cuts and reduced bureaucracy, concerns were raised about the long-term effects of an AfD-led government, particularly on the labor market and care sector, which relies heavily on migrants.
