Maddalena Loy wrote in Panorama that the German establishment had prepared to counter a populist figure with a paramilitary image, but found itself facing Alice Weidel, a former Goldman Sachs analyst. According to Loy, while her opponents focused on Weidel's personal contradictions, the AfD leader challenged the official positions of the CDU and progressives by relying on ruthless economic pragmatism. Loy cited the historic electoral results in the eastern Länder and the polls which, according to her, indicated the AfD as the leading German party.
