As Germany approaches the 2025 Bundestag election, the political landscape is marked by polarization and economic concerns.

The far-right AfD party has gained traction, with its supporters perceiving the economy as worse than it is, according to a study by the Institute of the German Economy.

Business leaders, however, are openly opposing the AfD, warning against its policies.

Prominent figures like Reinhold Würth and TUI CEO Sebastian Ebel have spoken out, urging voters to reject far-right ideologies.

Meanwhile, the AfD's stance on energy, including plans to dismantle wind turbines, has drawn criticism from industry leaders.

With the election just days away, debates over economic and social policies dominate, reflecting deep divisions in German society.
