Germany goes to the polls – Will the “far-right” Nazi-labeled “conservative” AfD with a lesbian party leader have a chance in the elections?

Published February 23, 2025 | By NewsJive.com

Germany is going to the polls on Sunday. The party that everyone is talking about everywhere now, and that is believed to have a good chance of even winning the election, is AfD, which is branded by its political opponents as “far right”, Nazi-linked and as Kremlin-controlled front soldiers. But who are the AfD really and what do they stand for?

The AfD, or as they are really called, Alternative for Germany (Alternative für Deutschland), describes themselves as “liberals and conservatives” and in other contexts they describe themselves as national conservatives, that are against globalism and are very much for their own German ethnic people, culture and “our children”, as AfD politician Björn Höcke said in a speech when he talked about that Germany is the German people’s country and the “homeland of our ancestors”.

AfD’s policies are said to include wanting to close Germany’s borders to illegal migration, begin deportations of immigrants on a larger scale, return to traditional German values ​​and culture, etc.

In broad terms, AfD does not seem to be a nationalist, Nazi and racist white extremist party that is against immigrants when listening to their political representatives making speeches in public, but rather a counter-jihadistic anti-Muslim party, which claims to support Israel to a very high extent and which focuses a lot on combating the Islamization of the German society and Muslim immigration.

Not least in light of the fact that their leader and co-chairwoman, Alice Weidel, herself is a lesbian and lives in a non-traditional and non-conservative relationship with a non-white woman who immigrated from Sri Lanka and where they have adopted two children who they raise together as a family. Which may seem strange, given that the party advocates traditional values, while at the same time claiming to want to combat the Islamization of the society that strongly stands for conservative and traditional values that are against homosexual relationships, and that is strongly in favor of the traditional nuclear family consisting of a man, a woman and their children.

In recent years, it has also been noted that more and more feminists and gay men are voting for the AfD, as, not least, a survey from the dating site Romeo seems to show. This major political swing in the LGBTQ and feminist world has led to major debates, and there is much evidence that their way of life, culture and values ​​are in great contrast to the increased Islamization of society through mass immigration from certain countries and cultures, which thus collide in cultural clashes.

But despite the AfD’s obviously right-wing liberal and benevolent attitude towards the LGBTQ community and their rights to adopt children and so on, the party faces great resistance from the so-called “left”, consisting of feminists, LGBTQ people and similar groups on the left-liberal fringe, who believe that AfD is “right-wing extremist” with racist overtones, “homophobic” tendencies, and “antisemitic” core values according to the ADL, and ​​that also “works” for Russia in secret basically, because they want to stop the war in Ukraine unlike the rest of the German establishment and its various political parties who wish to continue the war.

AfD, which certainly dominates in the current parts of “East Germany” where friendliness towards Russia has traditionally been greater over the years compared to the current parts of “West Germany” since the fall of the Berlin Wall; and where people are economically worse off than in the western parts, with increasingly widespread poverty, and who therefore vote for AfD; may be friendly towards Russia and wish for a peace settlement and a better relationship with the Kremlin. But it is difficult to imagine that Russia, like the Muslim cultures, where the nuclear family and conservative values ​​are cherished, and where it is forbidden for homosexual couples to adopt children, would support AfD and vice versa. Unless this has been done with a skillful FSB “maskirovka” so to speak, and thereby managed to manipulate themselves forward in this way. Because, who the hell really knows for sure? But, on the other hand, this is perhaps a trivial issue in the context, for both AfD and the Kremlin, when it comes down to it.

Who will win the election on Sunday remains to be seen. Although the AfD is gaining ground in German society, largely due to dissatisfaction with immigration problems and increasing poverty in the country, the Christian Democratic Party (CDU), led by former BlackRock big shot, Friedrich Merz, is tipped to win and become the country’s next chancellor.
