Bunker Global: Unpacking Germany’s shocking right-wing surge – with FT’s Guy Chazan

Germany’s far-right is on the rise. Alternative for Germany outperformed all expectations in this week's state elections, increasing their share of the vote across the country. To understand the AfD’s spike in popularity, Ros Taylor speaks to FT's chief Germany correspondent Guy Chazan. 

• “AfD was considered a regional party. This election changed that perception.” – Guy Chazan
• “It might already be too late to create a party that is a real rival to the AfD” – Guy Chazan
• “They oppose almost everything that the current government is doing.” – Guy Chazan
