      Considering the CDU could be considered a far right party themselves, they just wanna eliminate their competition, so i wouldn’t get my hopes up.

      They literaly had an election poster with the slogan “You don’t have to vote for the AfD to get what you want. There is a democratic alternative: the CDU!”.

      As long as privately owned press and corporate social media algorithms try to shift the overton window as far right as it can go that’s not gonna happen.
