Conservative leaders across the continent congratulated Ulrich Siegmund and the AfD for the landslide victory on Sunday.

Five years of political isolation, institutional pressure, and debate over banning the party have failed to halt the AfD, which rose from 20.8% to 43.8% in Sunday’s election.

The election result is described as a “blue earthquake” in German right-wing media but it may not be enough for the AfD to secure an absolute majority.

Alice Weidel reacted to the aggression by stating “We won’t be intimidated.”
