“The anti-euro party ‘Alternative for Germany’ (AfD) was officially founded just a few weeks ago, but it has clearly struck a nerve: It already numbers 10,476 members, SPIEGEL has learned — some 2,800 of which have switched allegiance from Germany’s established parties. As elections loom later this year, Alternative for Germany is making waves with an agenda that includes dissolving the euro currency zone and returning powers from Brussels to EU member-states. Although a survey released on Tuesday showed the party’s support is currently barely nudging 4 percent, its rapidly swelling ranks could end up significantly altering the country’s political landscape.”
