AfD Campaign Uses Antisemitic and Racist ImageryAn AfD election video for Rheinland-Pfalz features hateful stereotypes, analyzed as exceptionally malicious by researcher Markus Linden.
- The AfD’s campaign video for the Rheinland-Pfalz state election openly displays antisemitic and racist stereotypes, reflecting the party’s far-right stance.
- The spot depicts Biontech founder Uğur Şahin caricatured in a whirlpool to evoke antisemitic conspiracy theories.
- Researcher Markus Linden calls the video’s production unusually malicious, highlighting symbols like a menorah-shaped antenna.
- With this advertisement, the AfD clearly positions itself against established parties and reveals its extremist views.
Such a perfidious staging is rarely found— Markus Linden, an extremism researcher and politics professor at the University of Trier, commenting on the portrayal in the AfD election spot for Rhineland-Palatinate, as reported in the Trierischer Volksfreund.
