I don't have a deep knowledge of German politics but I do know that a major shift towards AfD is very alarming, especially when the main focus around NATO, the EEC and post-war European politics has been to prevent another Fascist uprising.

This isn't me disagreeing with Merkel's decision to take in refugees, but it was unwise from a national/European security perspective to not close the borders and properly vet arrivals. But I do think the swing towards AfD especially in East Germany has coincided with this crisis.
