The German AfD – this time the party as a whole entity – is now considered “gesichert rechtsextremistisch”, which means without leaving any further doubt, right extremistic:
This took too much time in my opinion – it was too obvious in case you ever heard them rant against minorities. And thanks God, their voters are a minority themselves! Although, in my opinion, the sheer number of those is frightening as well, and a reason for what we call “Fremdschämen” (something like “cringeworthy”, or better: not wanting to be identified with such a group).
And “Klartext reden” means to not paint things more positive than they actually are… it’s a bit stronger than the translation into “plain text”.
Maybe we should really consider to finally forbid that party. Out of Bundestag with them, that would make plenary sessions much quieter, and a lot more enjoyable to listen to. You’d have my vote for this…
