In terms of the AfD being a threat to democracy, I have not followed their statements closely but also regard banning political parties garnering 30%+ of the vote in various states as undemocratic (I am not straw manning here since that has been discussed in Germany).

I also suspect that the AfD would be much less of a threat to democracy than Macron has been to France considering he nominated a Prime Minister from a party that received than 5% of the votes in the most recent election.

A very interesting read, I don't really pay much attention to political parties that aren't in my own country, after reading this I think maybe I should.
