German Chancellor Olaf Scholz is actively seeking the support of workers and business leaders to counteract the rising influence of the far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) party. This initiative includes enlisting German CEOs and workers in efforts to combat the far-right's surge in popularity. Additionally, Scholz has expressed the government's interest in establishing a presence on TikTok, aiming to leverage the platform's reach amidst concerns over the AfD's strong social media presence. This move comes as the AfD, particularly in Saxony-Anhalt, calls for the depoliticization of the State Office for the Protection of the Constitution.
