Na ja...not as strong, I think. More like a break....before the new law gets back to the Verfassungsschutz for more "proofing"! If there is no fault found then the Prez has to give his signature...so...it's not a total veto!

It is fairly similiar....for example in Germany a new law needs the signature by the Bundespräsident, if he doesn't give it the new law can't come into existence....kinda a veto!
although it isn't?

To bad they can't look so far to see them. With rightists gaining ground/even winning elections in one EU-country after the other such "grouping" and "networking" might have the potential to change the EU, to make it more fit for nationalist ideals and wishes.
Tribeless people in a world of tribes...I don't imagine them with big chances or voices at all!
I guess the downsides outweigh any upsides of a potential coalition.

An interesting short summary about the last 5 Brexit years (with charts) by the BBC
bbc.com/news/articles/cdrynjz1glpo
So it doesn't look to bad economically, but the main thing with many voters, the immigration problem, hasn't been solved at all....
But there really seems to be a point with having regained more freedom about which laws to follow and which programs to be part of (and to pay for).
As I read it some of the EU laws were even re-instated and EU-progams re-joined but after free picking and chosing....
Maybe the EU truly has and is been to unyielding with some national differences and wishes. Maybe because we really should go back to a true trading bloc + some possibilities for members to join or leave out if wished, not being so invasive into every members inner workings with these thousands of little laws and demands, punishing if disagreed....I dunno!

Exactly! Leftists can demand revolution and openly call for radicalism to change the society....it's all okay....
Maybe they really should start the legal proceedings for a ban and the real Verfassungsgericht will show them all how ridiculous that is.
If the gov truly has nothing else but strong opinions about muslims that is no way that the AfD will be banned for this alone...
But hey....in other news....we now at least have a new Chancellor....if this new gov holds longer than a year needs to be seen though!

Not liking muslims! "Disregarding human dignity" is enough to be banned in Germany (at least in the eyes of some)....

What makes AfD "extreme"?
Not liking muslims! "Disregarding human dignity" is enough to be banned in Germany (at least in the eyes of some)....
....However, the agency stated the reasons: The classification was made "due to the extremist character of the entire party, which disregards human dignity." "The party's prevailing understanding of the people based on ethnicity and descent is incompatible with the free democratic basic order," the security agency stated. It aims to exclude certain population groups from equal participation in society.
"Specifically, the AfD, for example, considers German citizens with a migration history from predominantly Muslim countries to be members of the German people, as defined ethnically by the party," the domestic intelligence agency stated. This understanding is expressed in statements made by some high-ranking party members.

Wow......just in.....Merz not voted to Chancellor!!!! O_O
Failure! CDU leader Friedrich Merz failed to secure the required majority in the Bundestag in the first round of voting - and will no longer be chancellor today.
316 YES votes were required. But the result was different: 310 MPs voted YES, 307 NO, there were three abstentions, and one invalid vote.
Merz was six votes short of a majority.A historic defeat!

In this new gov nobody expects much from the left SPD, and her rival, "Die Linke", is by far not strong enough to be a real threat, and "Die Grünen" just lost to much of former public support....but it's more or less the last chance for the CDU, or her rival the "AfD" will take over her place in the political landscape of Germany with even more lotsa former CDU-voter!

That's the thing here...
...By definition of the law, all Member States of the European Union are safe third countries.
....
Accordingly, asylum seekers can be sent back to safe third countries with neither an asylum application, nor an application for international or national protection being considered. Today the safe third country concept has its main impact at land borders.[3] Federal Police shall refuse entry if a foreigner, who has entered from a safe third country, requests asylum at the border.....
asylumineurope.org/reports/country/germany/asylum-procedure/the-safe-country-concepts/safe-third-country/

Something is so totally wrong here....

How many immigrants do you get in Poland? (Ukrainians doesn't count)
Usually Poland is one of those walk-through-countries, for immigrants wanting to go to german money...or else they would happily stay in Poland!
Better said: benefits = pull factor!
There are two possibilities:
1.) Cut out german welfare for newcomers....only the usual necessities (bed and food)
2.) Follow our asylum law to the point at last, meaning nobody having been in another safe country before is allowed in
That's what they get in Poland too though:
