The growing popularity of far-right party AfD, which is poised to win state elections in eastern Germany, reflects "frustration with the current federal government", said Thomas Konig, Professor of political science at the University of Mannheim. "It’s about the majority of voters who support this nationalist new way of politics in those states," Konig said, adding that both the far right and the hard left "compaign against a German basic principal of the post-war time, namely the Western orientation of West Germany, so they are in favour of collaborating or at least finding peace solutions with Vladimir Putin’s Russia".
