Counseling centers across Germany report a significant surge in far-right extremism, driven largely by the Alternative for Germany (AfD) party. Activists warn of a new self-confidence among youth and the growing threat posed by organized neo-Nazis. Despite past protests against right-wing policies, engagement appears to wane as advocacy initiatives struggle with governmental support. Experts call for urgent measures, including a democratic summit and improved funding for anti-extremism efforts, as the political landscape shifts and far-right sentiments rise.
