YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

The Alternative for Germany Party (AfD) is polling in second place ahead of the country's election.

The party has high-profile backers like Elon Musk - and could be set for the best result a far-right party has achieved in Germany since the Second World War.

With the country facing challenges like the war in Ukraine, Donald Trump's threatened tariffs and a fierce debate around migration, Sky's Siobhan Robbins investigates why Germans are voting for the far-right.

Reporter: Siobhan Robbins
