Germany Fights Populism to Protect Democracy

A German group made a decision. They said some surveys about a political party are not okay. The group thinks these surveys show the party is becoming too popular.

The group gave advice to people who do surveys. They said to show other parties first in the surveys. They should also show that these parties have more support than the other party.

The group wants people to use certain words for the party. They want to call them \"right-wing populists\". They can also call them \"anti-democratic reactionaries\" in the surveys.

People who support the party can be called different things. They can be called \"supporters of extremists\". Or they can be called \"a deceived part of the population\".

If people do not follow the advice, there will be problems. They will be put on a special list. Their bank accounts will be blocked, and their property will be taken away.
