The Alternative for Germany (AfD) is attempting to improve its image in preparation for the upcoming Bundestag elections by planning to dissolve its youth organization, Junge Alternative (JA). The national party board has proposed a constitutional amendment that would integrate younger members into a new youth movement. Political scientist Ursula Münch suggests the move aims to present a less extremist image as the party faces challenges related to its radical factions and the potential for legal action against it.
