In Germany's western city of Gelsenkirchen, the far-right AfD did well in this year's general election. Now the party hopes to win in local elections there. It's a nightmare scenario for many.
Germany is a already a nazi state. The elections are just lagging. If the majority were really against Nazis, these fucks wouldn’t even be in parliament, but the majority is just silently OK with it because they either don’t vote or vote for AfD-lite.
Not only the average voter is OK with the narrative, the editor of newpapers like DW are too:
After the AfD, which is classified as partly right-wing extremist, became the strongest force in the city of 265,000 inhabitants with 24.7% of votes in the federal elections in February, it is now hoping for more success deep in western Germany.
They have been classified right-wing, not “partly”.
Partly right-wing extremist refers to the constitutional protection office’s assessment.
The AfD is classfied as a suspected case of far right extremism. This is the 2nd of three classifications, the last one is “confirmed right-wing extremist”. To be classified as a suspected case, there must be indications of right-wing extremism.
Therefore, the assessment “partially right-wing extremism” is factually correct. The AfD is not yet classified fully (or confirmed) right-wing extremist. That assessment must first be reviewed and confirmed by a judge since the AfD is currently suing against it.
I read that more like partly qualifies the extremist, they are fully right wing. What exactly is an extremist partly-right, or partly-left for that matter?
The “partly” refers to the AfD, not their ideology. Parts of the AfD are “only” far-right, parts are neonazi. The whole party is thus partly extremist right.
I think by partly right wing they meant the CDU, which adopted some stances of the AFD while still trying to appeal to the center. And they are for some reason the biggest party where the AFD isn’t.

Right, not partly-right extremist, partly right-extremist
