Even more voter movement charts.

Who are those 50.000 that went from green party to afd? What kind of reason could there possibly be for that?

Misguided pacifists that believe that the AfD would negotiate a peace deal with Putin in Ukraine. I personally know some like that... who just barely stopped short of admitting they considered voting for the AfD because of that.

I would imagine those would go vote for the Bündnis Sarah Zarenknecht instead

Sure, mostly. But especially in east Germany there are some with a deep aversion against voting for "communists", which is why they voted Green and not LINKE before.
