AfD increasingly likened to a sect rather than a party
Original: Man kann eine Sekte prinzipbedingt nicht inhaltlich stellen. Die AfD wirkt zunehmend weniger wie eine politische Partei
Commentary in Germany is drawing comparisons between the AfD and a sect, arguing the party can be argued with on facts. Critics say the AfD now functions less like a classic political party and more like a political faith community, whose appeal stems not primarily from its programme but from belief and identity. The remarks come amid ongoing national debate over the party's rise.
Why now: Ongoing controversy over the AfD's growing support and how to politically counter it
