Germany’s far-right Alternative for Germany party lost ground in two new opinion polls, suggesting recent nationwide demonstrations against the anti-immigrant group may be impacting voting intentions.
Hundreds of thousands of protesters took to the streets at the weekend following a report about a meeting attended by AfD officials where a Nazi-like “re-migration” scheme was discussed. Members of the main opposition conservatives were also at the November gathering at a hotel near Potsdam, according to the report.
