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.”
