In this Friday, May 17, 2019 photo people attend an event during the street Europe and communal election campaigning of the far-right Alternative for Germany AfD in Gera, Germany.

The question is if their skilled digital campaigns will translate into a political success when Germany’s voters cast their ballot on May 26.
