Let’s talk about what happened exactly, what happens next, and why this is such a historic event and–for many Germans–a reason for concern. +++Corrections: 1) At 11:10 I'm referring to the 2021 election as Berlin's last election, which is incorrect. They actually had another election in 2023 where the CDU came out as the winner. 2) At 25:04, that's supposed to be 180 degrees (not 100 degrees), of course!+++ *Mentioned Videos* https://youtu.be/vsCmfBfyRLE https://youtu.be/jLtdQbkxvks *Links* Quotes by AfD Politicians: • https://www.watson.ch/international/deutschland/291420759-rechtsextremismus-in-der-afd-diese-21-zitate-sprechen-fuer-sich BfV Reports: • https://netzpolitik.org/2025/verdachtsfall-rechtsextremismus-wir-veroeffentlichen-das-1-000-seitige-verfassungsschutz-gutachten-zur-afd/ • https://mi.sachsen-anhalt.de/api/media/Verfassungsschutzbericht%202023_komprimiert-6460fd72.pdf?collection=document • https://mi.sachsen-anhalt.de/api/media/VSB_2024_Druckfassung.pdf?collection=document • https://mi.sachsen-anhalt.de/api/media/VSB_2025_gesamtfassung_Presse-e3b0c442-1.pdf?collection=document Articles: • https://www.spiegel.de/international/germany/compendium-of-extremism-a-look-inside-the-report-documenting-the-afds-right-wing-radicalism-a-de2ab5b5-623e-4100-addb-d1e44c298305 • https://www.tagesschau.de/inland/innenpolitik/afd-verfassungsschutz-rechtsextremismus-100.html Wikipedia Article with right-wing extremist incidents associated with the AfD (German article): • https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liste_rechtsextremer_und_neonazistischer_Vorf%C3%A4lle_in_der_AfD ------------------------- ------------------------- Get your Bavarian beer mug or Servus t-shirt ▸https://felifromgermany.com/ Watch or listen to this video on Spotify ▸ https://shorturl.at/7V62L Check out my podcast (with Josh)▸ https://www.youtube.com/understandingtrainstation or https://linktr.ee/Understandingtrainstation FOLLOW ME ON SOCIAL MEDIA: Facebook▸https://www.facebook.com/felifromgermany (Feli from Germany) Support me on Patreon▸ https://www.patreon.com/felifromgermany Instagram▸@felifromgermany▸https://www.instagram.com/felifromgermany Buy me a coffee▸https://www.ko-fi.com/felifromgermany PayPal Tipping Jar ▸https://www.paypal.com/donate/?hosted_button_id=ER775NW2BM8BS ▸Mailing address: New mailing address in Germany will be published soon! ------------------------- ABOUT ME: Hallo, Servus, and welcome to my channel! My name is Feli (Felicia) and I was born and raised in Munich, Germany but moved to Cincinnati, Ohio in 2016. In 2025, I moved back to Munich together with my husband Ben. In my videos, I talk about cultural differences between America and Germany and my personal experiences living "between" the two cultures but I also like to dive deeper into more serious topics! Let me know what YOU would like to hear about in the comments below. DANKE :)
