Unless the AfD can find a coalition party that can give it a majority, the party will remain on the sidelines. However, if the AfD can maintain its current support or even increase it further, forming a coalition among the other parties could prove increasingly difficult in the future.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Insa is not the only polling firm showing the growth of the AfD.<\/strong> In a recent Yougov poll, the AfD reached 27 percent of the vote, while the CDU fell to just 23 percent.<\/p>\n<p>The AfD\u2019s surge comes at a time when soaring energy prices have left the German economy reeling, especially following the war in Iran, which has sent diesel prices between \u20ac2.20 and \u20ac2.50 a liter.<\/p>\n<p><strong>AfD co-leader, Tino Chrupalla, has become increasingly opposed to U.S. government actions.<\/strong> He quickly denounced the U.S. attack on Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro, labeling it a \u201cviolation of international law.\u201d And in February, right after the attack on Iran,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/rmx.news\/article\/i-am-extremely-disappointed-in-donald-trump-afd-co-leader-says-us-and-israel-violate-law-with-iran-war-warns-of-wwiii\/\">he expressed his \u201cdisappointment\u201d at Trump\u2019s broken promise to not start wars<\/a>\u00a0and blamed Israel for \u201cdragging\u201d the United States into war against Iran.<\/p>\n<p>In March, <strong>Chrupalla also condemned what he said were Israel\u2019s war crimes against Palestinians and Iranians,<\/strong> and just this month, Chrupalla called for the closure of U.S. bases in Germany.
