Can The AfD Party Benefit From The Energy Mess and Inflation In Germany?

ARD public TV went to chat over this topic today.

AfD was created in some way around a decade ago to be the opposition to the government's coalition system.  Their first big topic was the anti-Euro position, then came the migrate and immigration episode from 2014 to 2017.   

Presently?  Here's the thing.....the current SPD-Green-FDP coalition has limits on what they can do, and there's only x-amount on the table to resolve things.  

When you talk about increasing energy prices, inflation, and a natural gas crisis....everyone in Germany is now affected.   

But what exactly can the AfD offer?  Free stuff? Not really.  A lot of hot air?  Probably.  Some kind of control over the natural gas business?  How?

I can see some chatter going on but there's no treasure chest of 'help' that would resolve any of this stuff going.  Maybe out in some pub.....you can aggravate folks enough to churn up some frustration and anger....but what next?
