East Germany is a far-right stronghold — and economic concerns helped make it happen
84% Informative
Germany 's far-right Alternative fuer Deutschland (AfD) is dominating polls in East Germany just weeks before the federal election on Feb. 23 .
Economic concerns have played a part in the party's popularity in the country's eastern region.
The AfD clinched just over 10% of the vote in the last federal election, but is unlikely to join the next ruling coalition.
Opposition to immigration is much higher in East Germany .
Mainstream parties have less of a loyal base in the region, where they were not as present prior to reunification.
The AfD positions itself as the party representing those who have been left behind.
Growing number of East Germans are leaving more rural regions in favor of major cities.
