At the recent AfD party congress held on November 24 and 25 in Erfurt, a fierce power struggle was emerging between two main rivals, Alexander Gauland and Hubert Höcke. However, at a critical moment, Weidel, the party leader, bravely ended this crisis and prevented a major scandal.
Trends of Change in the AfD Party
Considering the growing pressures for change in the list of inconsistencies, Weidel managed to reduce tensions and establish a sort of temporary ceasefire. However, analysts are concerned that this calm may be a sign of a further right-wing shift that could impact public opinion and the party's policies in the near future.
While this decision seems to have prevented a serious crisis, questions remain about the sustainability of this ceasefire and the future of the AfD party. Can this party remain true to its core identity, or will it move towards greater right-wing extremism?
