AfD Election Success, German Political Unrest

The Alternative for Germany (AfD) party won a regional election in Thuringia, marking the first right-wing victory in Germany since the Nazi era. Chancellor Olaf Scholz and other mainstream politicians have called for a "firewall" to prevent coalitions with the AfD. The hosts discuss the media's framing of the party as "extremist" and the underlying voter frustration regarding immigration and national identity.
