What are the potential challenges and limitations of the "Neue Generation"'s new approach, and how might the group's past experience with legal challenges and public perception influence its future impact?

The "Neue Generation"'s approach presents a potential model for political engagement in the face of perceived governmental inaction on climate change. By establishing independently organized citizen assemblies, they aim to develop policy recommendations informed by broader public opinion, potentially influencing future legislation and challenging established power structures. The long-term success, however, hinges on the ability of these citizen assemblies to achieve meaningful influence within the existing political landscape.

How have economic policies and social factors contributed to the AfD's rise, and how have mainstream parties responded to this challenge?

The AfD's rise reflects broader European trends, where economic hardship and anti-immigrant sentiment fuel far-right gains. Germany's economic stagnation, partly due to underinvestment and the 'debt brake' policy, has exacerbated this discontent. The mainstream parties' attempts to co-opt the AfD's rhetoric have inadvertently normalized its presence, increasing the risk of democratic erosion.
