The article discusses a hypothetical scenario where the Alternative für Deutschland (AfD) party wins the German federal election with 36% of the vote in 2033, leading to a quiet takeover of power. This scenario is presented by journalist Justus Bender from the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung (FAZ), who is known for his close observation of the AfD. The article explores how such a victory could change Germany, including the collapse of the 'Brandmauer' (a metaphorical barrier) and the CDU/CSU enabling the AfD's first participation in government. The piece is part of a podcast discussion with Bender, examining potential consequences if the AfD were to win an election and how society should respond to the party.
