German public opinion appears largely unmoved by the ongoing campaign against AfD: on the very day the party’s national conference opens in Erfurt, it receives 29 per cent support in the latest opinion poll conducted by INSA for Bild.

That gives Alice Weidel’s party an eight-point lead over the CDU/CSU, which has to settle for 21 per cent.

The Union parties’ coalition partners in the Social Democratic Party (SPD) share third place in the poll with the Greens, both on 13 per cent. The gap down to the far-left party Die Linke in fourth place is only three percentage points.

On Saturday, the AfD national conference re-elected Alice Weidel and Tino Chrupalla as the party’s co-leaders.

In her address to the conference, Weidel said that the AfD would deport illegal migrants if it came to power.
