News / Presidential elections 2025 - the race has commenced!!! [665]

Polish Konfederacija is probably the counterpart to the german AfD...

To bad that they declined an invitation to be part of a newly founded rightist/nationalist fraction in the EP....I wonder why, "strength in numbers" and all that!

He is described at nationalist (okay in my book), traditionalist (okay in my book) and monarchist....that makes me think though...is there some monarchy-"material" left in Poland?

On Monday evening, a man from Syria spray-painted a swastika and slogan on an advertising column in the city center of Magdeburg. As police announced on Tuesday, a witness observed the 25-year-old, and officers from the state riot police were able to locate him near the crime scene shortly thereafter....

You gotta be kidding me! 🙄

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)....

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!

This voting was actually only a formality....and now Germany is rudderless....the old Chancellor got his great farewell yesterday.....

Can you think of a socialist regime that has turned out well?

If one gets another and third and fourth chance, the other should too, no? ;)


...ooooh...now I get it....*slaps forehead* :)

...that seems to be same for all our western countries right now!


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!

So Merz HAS to deliver....the next 100 days will show!


...this "report" could very well be the end of any further career Mrs. Faeser planned. What she did just doesn't look smart....

Farage - anti Islam

You are confusing Jon....but hey, that might turn out rather well also, give him a chance! :)

News / Will PiS be happy if AfD wins elections in Germany? [1440]

Better try to avoid the mocking and downtalking again, Jon....

That all reminds me mightily at the whole Brexit-Chaos....Farage started so tiny...a mocked outsider, nobody "serious" took him seriously in the beginning....but he got only bigger and bigger and bigger till he won in the End.

I can't help thinking this one follows the same pattern....

PS: It seems these so called populists everywhere keep winning with exact these patterns....(and the so called "serious people" have only to blame themselves!)

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/

That is our law!!! Still during the last 5 years we received, fed, clothed, housed and paid nearly 1.000.0000 immigrants wanting/getting refugee status.

de.statista.com/statistik/daten/studie/76095/umfrage/asylantraege-insgesamt-in-deutschland-seit-1995/

So...these refugees shouldn't even be here!


He can apply what he wants....since coming through a safe third state he should never achieve refugee status...so absolutely no need to treat him like one....

Something is so totally wrong here....

Anyhow...what a dreary topic...I have to leave now, till tomorrow!

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

Read this link....its info from our gov for the immigrants, no AfD propaganda:

News / Will PiS be happy if AfD wins elections in Germany? [1440]

Nobody has to starve....they would just go elsewhere....they wouldn't come here! That's the point....

Our law also says in summary that no asylum seeker crossing into german territory has any right of asylum since he already moved through
at least one peaceful, democratic, SAFE country!

Actually, following that law Germany doesn't has to take in ANYBODY coming here as we are surrounded by SAFE countries....but nobody seems to care about this law at all! Why is that?

News / Will PiS be happy if AfD wins elections in Germany? [1440]


No other country goes to the same extremes! No other lawful, democratic country....not even our neighbours....not the EU....not Canada...not Australia....

Immigrants wander through lotsa peaceful, lawful countries coming to us, through our neighbours, because they know they only get here so much free money and support from the state...why have only we these laws?

Would that really be un-democratic and inhuman and Nazi to adapt our laws to end this pull factor?


Maybe so....but one can't help getting angry when learning that such a jobless newcomer gets exactly the same Bürgergeld as someone who has worked here hard for decades...that is just not fair....an easy point for any protester!

News / Will PiS be happy if AfD wins elections in Germany? [1440]

Well....that so many people from all over the globe chose especially little, cold, dark Germany with it's impossible language has not so much to do with wanting to earn anything, they want to get to the free money! It has become wide spread knowledge that Germany shucks out its money quite generously over any door-knocker....illegal or not....alot more than any other country!

infomigrants.net/en/post/53009/germany-how-much-welfare-do-asylum-seekers-get-and-is-it-a-pull-factor

.....At initial reception centers

Asylum seekers receive accommodation, food, clothes, hygiene, limited healthcare as well as consumer and household goods directly at the initial reception center of the 16 federal states.
These 'basic benefits' (Grundleistungen) are provided as benefits in kind according to the Asylum Seekers' Benefits Act (Asylbewerberleistungsgesetz).
Additionally, asylum seekers in reception centers receive benefits to cover personal daily requirements ('pocket money') of around €150 per month in cash - if the "personal daily requirements" is fully paid as 'pocket money', it's €182 per month.

In some states, including Bavaria, asylum seekers also receive tickets for public transport as benefits in kind in return for less 'pocket money', according to the MSI.

That is the most important pull factor! If one gov would dare to cut that out at last we could end that discussion at once....ending the free money flow would end the moving of the masses into Germany immediately too....and we would not even need to build a border!

But now Germany has gone broke....maybe our infrastructure would look better today....our schools would look better....there would no poor retirees after a long life of hard work if we kept abit of all that welfare for ourselves?

I wonder if the new minister of the interior, Mr. Dobrindt, really gets it right this time....limiting the illegal immigration, putting the shackles on the criminals, at least he promised it!

If the new gov can really achieve a perceptible betterment, that might take the winds out of the AfD...even without a Verbot!

@Tacitus
But why would that not fall under "amplifying the resentment" also?

Somehow that always looks to me as if the AfD as the biggest political rival is forbidden to say or plan what the CDU would be allowed...

You have really a fairly generous view of who counts as a fascist!

News / Will PiS be happy if AfD wins elections in Germany? [1440]

I have never seen otherwise....and you neither, Jon!

Every try to implement a non-capitalist society, no matter where, ended in blood and tears...with lotsa hate and division...there is no existing non-capitalist country which would work as an example for democratic, lawful government!

Maybe some time Leftists should learn from that and not always trying to repeat the same errors!
