Support for the Alternative for Germany (AfD) dropped slightly in two polls published on Tuesday after 10 days of nationwide protests against the far-right party, although it remained firmly in second place. Support for the AfD dropped 2 percentage points to 20% in a Forsa poll, the lowest level in four months. The party remained behind the opposition conservatives on 31% but still well ahead of all the three parties in Chancellor Olaf Scholz's centre-left coalition, who together were polling 32%.

BERLIN (Reuters) - Support for the Alternative for Germany (AfD) dropped slightly in two polls published on Tuesday after 10 days of nationwide protests against the far-right party, although it remained firmly in second place.

Support for the AfD dropped 2 percentage points to 20% in a Forsa poll, the lowest level in four months. The party remained behind the opposition conservatives on 31% but still well ahead of all the three parties in Chancellor Olaf Scholz’s centre-left coalition, who together were polling 32%.

The AfD dropped 1.5 percentage points on the week to 21.5% in the poll by the German Institute for New Social Answers (INSA), behind the conservatives on 30.5% and the ruling coalition on 31%.

“The demonstrations against the AfD are supported by 37% of Germans and they are showing an impact,” INSA chief Hermann Binkert said.

    They show up because we screwed over their countries.

    Who are we? I’m certainly not complisit in it.

    you don’t want them to show up you should have considered our governments not going on an imperialist rampage and overthrowing every African and Middle-Eastern government that doesn’t give us their natural resources.

    Whose? Yours? Not mine.

    Furthermore Western birth rates are so low that without immigration country couldn’t actually run. Most of the lower paying physical labor IE garbage collection, airport luggage, doing field work on farms, etc are done by these people.

    Maybe it would be beneficial, if the majority actually integrated, and got jobs. And if they didn’t actively commit crime, which drains police resources, as well as causing divison and instability. A lot of low-skilled labour intensive jobs could also be automated.

      Most European countries are responsible for Africa being a mess, and America and England screwed up the middle east and surroundings.

      Germany is one of the most prominent Zionist countries. Actively supporting Netanyahu in his genocide to screw up the middle east and create another giant Palestinian refugee crisis as we speak.

      The Palestinians and Lebanese wouldn’t have to seek refugee if countries like Germany weren’t helping to screw up theirs. I guess if you wanna be racist then they can also just say “white people just can’t be helped from Genociding little children and thinking they are the Ubermensch it’s in their DNA”?

      But it’s not of course. I recommend you read up about some Chinese propaganda about Vietnamese people. Two entirely different races that are basically convinced of the same thing you are. Saying that Vietnamese people are somehow all lazy brown rapists.

      Maybe it would be beneficial, if the majority actually integrated, and got jobs. And if they didn’t actively commit crime, which drains police resources, as well as causing divison and instability. A lot of low-skilled labour intensive jobs could also be automated.

      Many of them do have jobs and the ones that don’t are usually actively blocked by the government from getting a job. Because they have to wait years and years for their application to get processed and somehow governments don’t want to use this labor but rather have it sit around waiting.
