A poll published by the Bild’s Sunday edition revealed that support for the German far-right Alternative fur Germany (AfD) party has increased its popular base to a five-year high amid growing distrust towards the Greens. 

The survey, conducted by INSA from May 22-26, showed that AfD earned 1% to poll at 18%, whilst the Greens lost 1% to 13% - their lowest rate in five years. 

The poll also revealed that the number of respondents who said they would never vote for AfD decreased from 60% in December to 53.9% in May. 

"The number of eligible voters who are categorically opposed to AfD has decreased markedly. The social climate has changed in AfD’s favor," Insa head Hermann Binkert said.

The Green party in Germany is one of three making up the coalition of Social Democrat Olaf Scholz.

Since Germany's economy minister Robert Habeck, who also happens to be a Green party delegate, has been accused of cronyism, the party has faced serious challenges to its reputation.

Other relevant results from the poll revealed that the opposition conservative bloc, the CDU/CSU, scored with 28% of eligible voters' support, followed by Social Democrats with 20% and 9% for the Free Democrats.

On Thursday, data from German government agencies revealed that the nation's economy has slipped into recession, dropping 0.2% year-on-year in the first quarter of 2023, as per official data.

With combined sanctions on Russia and increased support to Kiev, as well as pressure on the part of the US to cut economic ties with China, it is no wonder that the blame for all these repercussions is placed on the back of the ruling German party.
