People struggling financially have voted predominantly for the AfD in recent elections.

Well in Berlin it was the far left party that surged but that doesn't sound so exciting I guess. The far left party promised to actually act on the housing referendum that's passed twice but got ignored by the centre right government (led by Merz' CDU), so in like flint.
