Warning for Germany: Not since the end of World War II

The article discusses the growing support for Germany's far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) party, particularly in western regions, and notes the potential for the party to win an absolute majority in upcoming state elections in Saxony-Anhalt. This development is seen as a significant shift in German politics since World War II, according to Slovenia's ambassador to Germany, Ana Polak Petrič. She highlights the increasing influence of AfD, which has already gained strong representation in the national parliament, and points out that its rise is not limited to former East German states. The article mentions AfD leader Alice Weidel's statements about possible withdrawal from the Schengen area and the euro, but emphasizes that these remain political promises rather than concrete policies. The ambassador also comments on the reluctance of other democratic parties to collaborate with AfD due to concerns over their policies and the 'border wall' metaphor used by political opponents.

Bias read (Center): While the article reports on the rising influence of a far-right party, it does not present a clear ideological slant. It includes quotes from both the Slovenian ambassador and AfD leaders, presenting multiple perspectives without overtly favoring one side. The tone remains objective, focusing on事实和
