摘要

新冠肺炎大流行几乎挑战了生活的方方面面，取代了民粹主义极右翼政党意识形态的核心问题，剥夺了他们的主要叙事之一。这也挑战了德国新选择党(AfD)，一个相对年轻但强大的反对党。我们通过分析德国新选择党在2020年1月至2021年3月期间发布的新闻稿、投票意向数据和最近的选举结果，探讨了该党如何根据这种前所未有的形势调整其政策供应，以及这如何影响其在德国选民中的受欢迎程度。最初，该党的反应是不一致的，但从2020年秋季开始，德国新选择党专注于煽动对政府封锁措施的不满，充当反冠状病毒示威活动的支持者。它将自己的回应定义为精英批评。然而，到目前为止，它与封锁抗议者站在一起，并没有对该党的支持产生任何积极影响。

The Self-Proclaimed Defender of Freedom: The AfD and the Pandemic

The COVID-19 pandemic has challenged nearly every aspect of life and superseded issues at the core of populist radical right (PRR) parties' ideology, dispossessing them of one of their main narratives. This also challenged the Alternative for Germany (AfD), a relatively young but strong PRR party in opposition. We explore how the party has adjusted its policy supply to this unprecedented situation and how this has affected its popularity among German voters, building our analysis on press releases issued by the AfD between January 2020 and March 2021, vote intention data and recent election results. Initially, the party's reaction was inconsistent, but from autumn 2020 the AfD focused on fuelling discontent with the government's lockdown measures, acting as a supporter of the anti-coronavirus demonstrations. It framed its response as elite critique. So far, its siding with the lockdown protesters, however, has not had any positive effect on support for the party.
