how do you feel Mr hooker an historic Victory shouts German farri Right leader be hooker he's just heard his afd parties on track to come first in turingia state election we want to govern and as the strongest force we also have a right to govern Germany first a day earlier he was campaigning hard he's anti-immigration Russia friendly euroskeptic the been labeled a fascist and is from a party Branch State intelligence says extremist still one in three people here seemingly voted for them Connie is one of them he's unhappy about immigration it's gotten out of control if you look at neighboring countries like Poland they've hardly taken in anyone and the crime rate hasn't risen there why do you think the afd is becoming so popular we don't feel represented for the government there's still a wall running through the country they think we're always wrong and that they're always right and I don't think that's very Democratic this vote would be the first time since the Nazis are far right parties won the most seats in the state Parliament with no Coalition Partners they'll likely be kept from full control but some people find their popularity deeply disturbing why are you so against them what's your concern well they're very right uh right-wing they're very um against foreigners living in Germany I'm I'm not happy with a lot of the immigration rules that we have momentarily but I don't think that the the far right is the proper answer in our history have had u a national socialist movement in 1933 inmer and hopefully we will not repeat it again as the afd is celebrating their opponents are demonstrating while in Berlin the national government was soaking up dismal results for some this vote has stirred up fear it's highlighted deep divisions in society and sent the national government a clear message that for many its policies just aren't working and this tension is far from over in a year Germans will vote in a general election with the far right currently polling second Siobhan Robbins Sky News the ring gear
