The AFD's roots are in nationalistic and racist movements. It continues to take an ultra anti-immigration stance and is calling for \"demigration\" \u2013 effectively the deportation of migrants. \r\n\r\nIn this episode, Rolf Frankenberger, an expert on right-wing extremism at the University of T\u00fcbingen in Germany, talks to Laura Hood, senior politics editor at The Conversation, about where the AFD draws its support from and what type of Germany it wants to return to.\r\n\r\nThis episode was Mend Mariwany and Gemma Ware with sound design by Michelle Macklem.
