Die Jugendlichen sind rechts?

Hi, what does the phrase "die Jugendlichen sind rechts" mean? Does it mean that the youngsters are right-wing or that they are just somewhere on the right hand side? Does it refer to location or political beliefs?

Danke schön!

Yes, in some cases (as in this one), "rechts" can refer to political affiliation.

Hello Brian! Danke for the answer. Can you please tell me if the phrase can also mean 'the youngsters are on the right hand side'? Or does it refer to their political affiliation and any case?
