Debate over equating AfD and Die Linke draws criticism
Original: Die aktuell vielbemühte faktische Gleichsetzung der antidemokratischen # AfD mit der demokratischen Partei # DieLinke is
A German social democrat has sharply criticised what he calls the current tendency to treat the AfD and Die Linke as equivalent, calling the equation of the anti-democratic AfD with the democratic left party absurd. He argues that if any democratic party has a demarcation problem toward the far right, it is the Union, CDU and CSU. The comment is fuelling discussion about how German parties position themselves against extremism.
Why now: Ongoing German political debate about whether AfD and Die Linke should be treated as comparable threats to democracy
