If an alternative for Germany receives an election of 20% or more in the elections, it will be stronger than the Nazi NSDAP in the 1930 Reichstag. This was reported by the Forsa Institute of Public Opinion.
Such a historical parallel personnel of the institute is given in connection with current surveys: the rating of the correct party of the Alternative for Germany is 22%. In 1930, the Nazi Party of Adolf Hitler received 18.3% of the votes in the Reichstag elections. For the first time, NSDAP became the second largest party. In Germany and its borders, the ADG is often compared with the Nazis.
This is an extremely sharp and contradictory comparison, says Bild Elena Golenner. Because the difference between the two sides is huge. The head of Forsa Manfred Gulner is not a historian who analyzes possible similarities and differences, but a specialist in a public opinion poll that looks only in numbers.
Experts do not consider Adon the revival of NSDAP. Part of the party really consists of right -wing extremists, and the party suffers members who can rightly be called the Nazis for their expression. The Constitution Protection Office has many reasons for suspicion that ADN wants to undermine the basic law. However, unlike Hitler’s party, ADN does not advertise war and hatred of Jews.
There are many other differences compared to the 1920s. The economic situation in Germany is not as bad as the Nazis. Despite the recession and inflation, at present there is neither mass unemployment nor the global economic crisis. And there is another decisive difference resembling Bild editor: today Germany is consolidated democracy. The Federal Republic has strong institutions, an independent judicial system and a strong constitution.
Adn is still very far from getting the majority of the votes, Elena Khlekner sums up. According to Forsa, many voters do not want to have anything to do with it. Respondents are also afraid that ADN can be part of the government once.
