The RBB produced a video article on the differences and similarities of AfD and BSW – Dr. Jonas Fegert was part of it. Sharing results from the ongoing SOSEC project, he analyses their anti-elite rhetoric. This rhetoric implies, that Wagenknecht and Weidel think certain crises are knowingly created by small yet controlling elites to steer the country towards their favoured direction.
Moreover, voters of the two parties align in their assumption that the Ukraine should accept loss of land to end the war. The most staggering SOSEC results however, show the pro-dictatorship tendencies of AfD-voters, where around 40% would prefer dictatorship under certain circumstances. This result is almost twice as high as with other parties – including the BSW.
