In a nondescript hall in Suhl, former East Germany, young faces gathered to hear from Björn Höcke, a controversial figure in the far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) party. Despite his divisive views and Nazi terminology usage, Höcke's popularity among the youth is evident, with some even considering him an idol.
The AfD's success in regional and national elections reflects a growing trend of young voters supporting the party. Recent polls indicate a significant rise in youth support for the AfD, positioning them as a formidable force in German politics.
