The election results in Germany have sent shock waves across Europe. The emergence of far-right part Alternative for Germany or AFD was the big surprise. The populist, Eurospectic party has vowed to take a tougher stance against immigration. This is the first time a far-right party enters the German parliament after the Second World War. AFD’s emergence comes amid the poor performance of mainstream left and right parties. International media have widely discussed the outcome of the recent elections.
