The far-right is on the rise in Germany, but could it go mainstream across Europe?
Right-wing extremism is the greatest danger to democracy in Germany, according to the country’s domestic intelligence agency.
The Alternative for Germany Party, Germany’s main far-right party, now attracts a third of voters in the east of the country and the nation is home to over 38,000 registered right-wing extremists.
On the Sky News Daily, Niall Paterson is joined by Siobhan Robbins, Sky’s Europe Correspondent who has spoken to members as well as victims of the far-right in Germany. We also hear from Julia Ebner, a senior research fellow at the Institute for Strategic Dialogue and author of Going Mainstream, on how far-right ideas seep into mainstream politics.
