Far-right candidate for Chancellor Alice Weidel is trying to seduce voters with her extreme views.
Since its creation in 2013, the Alternative for Germany The party (AfD) has become a major political force in Germany.
The far-right party comes in second ahead of next month’s general election.
The party’s candidate for chancellor, Alice Weidel, calls for tough policies towards immigrants.
His program also calls for Germany to leave the euro and reverse its decision to abandon nuclear energy.
Could Weidel’s views strike a chord with voters and allow the AfD to become an important player in German politics?
