Germany’s AfD Opposes Pride Flags but May Win Support After L.G.B.T.Q. Attack

Germany's far-right Alternative for Germany party, known as AfD, has been opposed to displaying Pride flags, but may gain support in upcoming fall elections. A recent attack on a Pride celebration has shifted the focus of the elections to issues that favor the AfD. Analysts believe this shift may work in the party's favor, potentially increasing their support. The AfD's stance on social issues, including LGBTQ+ rights, is expected to be a key factor in the elections.
