Alternative for Germany’s core supporters are sticking with the party despite allegations of dodgy links to Russia and China.

Will the sensational allegations of espionage and dubious links to Russia and China implicating politicians of the far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) be the decisive blow that ends the party’s long ascent in German politics?

For many of the party’s faithful, at least, the answer is clear: The allegations, particularly those surrounding Maximilian Krah, the AfD’s lead candidate for the European election, hardly matter.

If anything, they may only deepen their loyalty.

        Yes, the 3. is supposed to be Third, and using the thumb, index, and middle fingers.
