Tartalmi leírás:
This chapter argues that the AfD has not been able to capture the media’s attention and display itself as the centre of protest against the government’s COVID-19 policies. One of the key reasons is that the AfD has limited its critique to highlighting the failures in prevention and to stressing mistakes made in effectively managing the crisis. Consequently, the AfD could not exert the same radical critique as for example during the migration crisis. To be sure, the AfD has refused to participate in the overall COVID-19 consensus by politicizing the issue. It also tried to radicalize its critique by switching from a ‘safety first’ strategy to a strategy of ‘individual rights first’. But with no avail. It seems that the party has been suffering from some ‘outbidding’ by forms of extra-parliamentary opposition (APO), which are much more radical and in some ways also more populist than the AfD itself.
