Avansul AfD în Germania și trendul AUR

The rise of the AfD in Germany and AUR in Romania reflects a growing trend of right-wing populism fueled by dissatisfaction with traditional parties and external influences like the Ukraine war. AfD's significant electoral success in Saxony-Anhalt, achieving nearly 44%, mirrors AUR's strong performance in Romania, where it holds between 36% and 38%. Both parties capitalize on public discontent and skepticism towards NATO and EU support for Ukraine. The increasing appeal of nationalism and authoritarianism in Eastern Europe poses a risk to democratic stability, with many voters expressing nostalgia for non-democratic regimes. The upcoming elections in 2027 could further challenge democratic norms across Europe, as extremist ideologies gain traction amid political and economic crises.
