September ihren bisher größten Wahlerfolg erzielte.

In Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, wo sie bei der Wahl am 20. September ebenfalls stärkste Kraft werden könnte, präsentiert sich die AfD ähnlich. In ihrem Wahlprogramm kündigt sie an, sie wolle die »Wirtschaftskraft entfesseln« und so für einen Aufschwung sorgen.

The rise of the AfD: A wake-up call without a clear answer

The AfD's success is interpreted as a wake-up call, but it remains unclear what exactly is behind the voter discontent. Both the party and right-wing populist intellectuals fail to offer a coherent ideology, while voters express dissatisfaction with the system and immigration, but also show deeper fears of loss of status and economic insecurity. Established parties react with familiar recipes that do not solve the problem. Without a theory of discontent to guide action, right-wing populism will continue to grow.

AfD election success in Saxony-Anhalt and Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania raises economic questions

In the state elections in Saxony-Anhalt, the AfD received 43.8 percent of the votes, although the Office for the Protection of the Constitution classifies it as definitely right-wing extremist. The party expects good chances in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania. The ifo economist Joachim Ragnitz warns of economic damage caused by AfD demands such as the departure of immigrants and explains the success with dissatisfaction with the political and economic situation and protest against established parties.
