Protests against the far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) party have continued for several weeks, with hundreds of thousands of people taking to the streets to demonstrate against the party's policies and rise in popularity. The protests were sparked by revelations of discussions about mass expulsions of immigrants by the AfD. The party suffered a narrow electoral defeat following the widespread demonstrations. Support for the AfD dropped below 20% for the first time since July, as reported in a recent poll. The rise of the AfD has prompted concerns from various quarters, including the CEO of Deutsche Bank, who warned about the threat of right-wing extremism in Germany's home market. The experience in France suggests that unmasking the far right's policy failings may be a better approach than calling for a ban on the party.
