German youth wing attacks Left party, signals shifting political norms

At the Junge Union (Young Union) party congress, the slogan 'Never again is now!' was directed at Die Linke, not the AfD, reflecting a shift in political targeting within Germany's center-right. The episode underscores how mainstream parties are increasingly focusing on the far-left while the AfD's performance is noted as 'excellent again,' indicating a normalization of far-right rhetoric. This development matters as it signals potential realignment in German political discourse ahead of elections.
