The Junge Freiheit (JF, "Young Freedom") is a German weekly newspaper on politics and culture that was established in 1986. Junge Freiheit is politically conservative, right-wing, nationalistic and described as the "ideological supply ship of right-wing populism" in Germany.[1]
According to the scholar Gideon Botsch, JF is a "hinge between national conservatism and the extreme right".[2] Alexander Gauland, a co-founder of Alternative for Germany, has claimed that "Whoever wants to understand Alternative for Germany ought to read Junge Freiheit".[3]
