Deutsche Welle (https://www.dw.com/) is an excellent English language news source Germany. It’s publicly funded but I have not have caught them being severely biased towards something. Plenty of articles on AfD’s to be published in the near future no doubt, 5 in the last few hours and there is a liveblog going too (which is why i’m just sharing their home page and not a specific article).
