During a state party convention in Magdeburg, 250 delegates approved a 156-page program that includes controversial proposals such as a “baby welcome bonus” contingent on parental citizenship and the replacement of compulsory schooling with a “duty to educate.” The party also aims to eliminate state funding for churches and establish a “Task Force for Deportations.” The AfD, classified as right-extremist by the domestic intelligence service, is currently polling at nearly 40%, seeking a majority in the upcoming elections.
