  • Has the far-right AfD achieved its greatest electoral successes in the parts of Germany that previously resisted the Nazis? No, it hasn't
  • and here's why.

The article from MSN discusses a claim made by U.S. Senator J.D. Vance regarding the Alternative for Germany (AfD) party. Vance suggested that the AfD, which has been gaining popularity in Germany, is not a Nazi party. However, the article fact-checks this assertion by detailing the AfD's history and current political stance. It notes that while the AfD began as a eurosceptic and anti-immigration party, it has increasingly embraced far-right ideologies. Several AfD politicians have made statements or been involved in activities that align with Nazi or neo-Nazi ideologies, including Holocaust denial, xenophobic rhetoric, and associations with known extremist groups. The article concludes that although not all AfD members or supporters are Nazis, the party has elements and policies that resonate with Nazi ideology, making Vance's blanket statement inaccurate.
