News / Germany's Socio-Political Climate and Its Impact on Poland [20]

The refugee crisis is just the key issue the AfD wants to exploit in order to get into a position that allows them to implement their real plans.

I could even agree with that....now it would be logical for the ruling parties to end this particular crisis themselves and with that stopping the rise of the AfD, wouldn't it! Merz won the last elections because he promised the "End of Left", a "Zeitenwende"....seriously, maybe he needs more time, but he already broke some of his biggest promises, and the coalition with the SPD might make a real change impossible.

I guess many new AfD voter will come be disappointed and angry former CDU voter.

Höckes eigentliches Feindbild ist nicht Merkel, sondern Adenauer

Might be, might not be....did Höcke tell that the author himself? I can't find any links for that (besides to that new book).....I would like to hear that in an interview.

And then there is Weidel...the current party leader! I wonder what she thinks about Adenauer....

Sounds easy right?

It is! If you truly wanted to!

But like you there are to many people in power who just don't want to and find reasons to go around this law and still keep them coming! No matter what a rising number of people thinks and want!

And THAT is scary...because there is only one end to that, a ruling AfD! (And no, I don't believe any try to ban the party will be successful).

The courts have been very clear on this issue.

That is something the AfD couldn't change even if they got above 50% of the votes.

Again....when they can't change things....why the heck do you fear them so much?

PS: There is one thing that puzzles me....you know, the "safe third-country rule"....imagine the AfD really following that law, truly shoving everybody back out who enters german soil through another safe democratic country, our neighbours! No big change, no new law...just truly implementing an already existing law....man! :)

translated:

An asylum seeker is not entitled to asylum if they enter from a safe third country, as entry via such a country excludes the right to asylum. A safe third country is a country in which the person is protected from persecution and has access to effective protection and legal assistance. In Germany, EU member states and certain other countries such as Norway and Switzerland are considered safe third countries.

You mean like border controles that prevent refugees from entering Germany?

That is highly inefficient if anybody who comes through still can claim asylum and start the whole process!

Much much much more efficient will be to cut these promises in the first place...no more free money for any newcomer...no more "pull factors"! If they still think it a good idea to start the asylum process they get only the necessary things, food, water, a roof over the head, nothing more...and especially no longer free access to all the social goods even without having worked for it one day!

You will see the freeloader running....looking elsewhere for greener (!) pastures!

And don't you dare to repeat the LIE these pull-factors don't exist, or that our economy will break down without Ali the delivery guy or Hassan the old-arse-wiper, these jobs are not popular with them, they have mostly other plans....these people don't wander over half of the globe to enjoy our great weather, our famous language or our incredible friendliness....the german generosity has become world wide known....and now our social system is breaking down because of it!

Just imagine all the money right now paid for millions of foreigners becoming available again for our retirees or our health care...."two birds with one stone"!

You can be sure that if Ukraine collapses, several million Ukrainians will make their way West.

Thing is our law of asylum is much rather made for Ukrainians, they are Europeans fleeing a european war....it was never meant for North Africans or Arabs!

Free competition inside the EU market without hidden traps and barriers.

Agreed! And especially without the blanket of uncountable regulations which only make lawyer happy but stifle and kill slowly every entrepreneur spirit...

.......and wanting to be conquered by Russia and ruled by Putin, not to forget! :)

I am simply taking the AfD at their word. While your views on them seem to guided by wishful thinking.

....yeah....maybe....I'm actually alot more invested in their ideas and plans against inner german problems than their formulated foreign policy. Especially as they have no way to do anything about it for the foreseeable future.

I guess thats the way most interested observer and even voter handle that...

Quite a lot of them would probably be happy if Russia ended up occupying Germany again because they believe that Putin would put them in charge.

?

Any links for that?

Astounding that you have so much understanding for the pro-russian Lefties in the RULING SPD aka "Das Russland-Manifest", but expect the apocalypse when the AfD does it???

....The so-called manifesto calls for a departure from the current armament policy of the German government and for "cooperation with Russia."...

tagesschau.de/inland/innenpolitik/spd-verteidigung-manifest-ukraine-100.html

The SPD with their Stegners and Mützenichs is part of a ruling coalition in Berlin...which will have no qualms to ally with the Linke, if need be, whose standing concerning Ukraine/Putin is at least contested inside the party too.

But the AfD is the main problem? REALLY?

....can't help it Tac...but that sounds alot like "fearmongering!" I guess we will only know for sure when they really get a say....

Are you aware of a single prominent figure within the AfD who has been really critical of Putin?

I had to google that actually! But there seems to be a shift of opinion/mood inside the AfD:

....Opposition to the notoriously pro-Kremlin line is growing within the party, and foreign policy spokesman and Putin sympathizer Matthias Moosdorf was voted out. But his successor also has numerous connections to Russia....

sueddeutsche.de/politik/afd-russland-afd-fraktion-chrupalla-li.3253054?reduced=true

The AfD is on its way to a "Volkspartei"...it seems natural that there are now more moderate and also radical opinions represented.

The general problem for the leadership seems to be (IMHO of course), the promise to their voters to rebuild our safe energy supply. In short: "Give us our russian gas back....and down with the annoying wind mills, up with the power plants again!"

That war in Ukraine is hence nothing but an annoyance, thats not the same as supporting Putin's invasion....but for a future good relationship with Russia they can hardly blast him like nearly everybody else does....quite the pickle for the AfD....

On the other side (and there is always one)....the AfD is not alone in seeking a better relationship with Moscow, and compared to the SPD she hasn't even the same kind of longstanding contacts yet aka "Petersburger Dialog"...I bet they were talking about Ukraine too...albeit inofficially and secretly....of course!

SPD politician Stegner and other MPs defend meetings with Putin confidants

....I can't believe that pro-Putin-thing is as big with the AfD as it is surely with the BSW....but changes have to happen Tac! It can't go on like this...thats a fact too!

Anyway....have to bow out here...Gute Nacht all!

And the AfD is even worse

I'm honest I'm no expert with french politics...but I remember Marco Wanderwitz, an especially outspoken pro AfD-Verbot former CDU politician, being asked what exactly should such a Verbot gain the other parties...he answered summarily: "Time!" That a ban will make it possible for the current parties and politicians and elites to turn the wheel around at last and rebuild the country and with that also the trust in the democratic institutions."(My free summary)

And now looking at France, it doesn't seem that all that banding together and keeping out and "Kampf gegen Rechts" has changed the country for the better in any way...

It can't possibly get any worse. But it could and it did.

How so? LePen opening the Gulags? Weidel invading Poland and gassing Jews? What exactly do you fear so much???

I just can't stand your two German brothers.

...you can't choose your family though! :)

I'm just glad they are willing to discuss things here...in Germany I will even be called a Nazi for my views and questions and no upstanding democrat talks with "Nazis", so....I don't complain!

We could have had a black-blue government today,

I doubt it very much....I remember the start of the AfD as an anti-Euro party, they never got seen and treated eye-to-eye, as a common political rival....they were never left enough!

I also remember the latest french elections where all the french centrists/leftists banded together to keep LePen out....and these big demos ala "Kampf gegen Rechts" from all these upstanding leftists....sounds familiar? And where stands France now....on the break of internal collapse...

But of course we will repeat all these errors...for democracy!

The Greens fully expected to lose compared to 5 years ago

My....how the mighty have fallen....I remember the Greens quite recently still seeing themselves as a "Chancellor Party" :)

something the AfD can only dream about.

Agreed....and the coalitions needed to keep the AfD out will become ever bigger and wilder over time....making even more people angry and frustrated....

Now the citizens will either choose an mayor from the Green party or the SPD.

Because they have to...everything for democracy, right?

In Chorweiler the AfD got candidate over 45%...the Green candidate got only 5, something....

Mayoral election in Cologne

The AfD wins almost half of all votes

t-online.de/region/koeln/id_100913990/wahl-in-koeln-hier-holt-afd-kandidat-fast-die-haelfte-aller-stimmen.html

It is when you look at how places develop where the AfD has grown strong.

Really Tac....the AfD is kept away from any ruling by the good and upstanding Democrats....still blaming them for the state of things is...well...astounding!

Just an average European industrial region.

....I dunno about the english problem regions...but even the german public-service broadcasting portrays them that way, as one could see daily in the run up to these elections...I don't want to live there, sorry to say that!

And the examples that its bad governance mainly are also shown...I remember the doku about one town gov taking care to supplant the leaving old industry with modern technology jobs...and it worked.

But mainly the for decades inherited power structures elsewhere mostly never gave a ***!

who'll actively make things much worse for everyone

....and that! Should be really difficult for the AfD.....NRW has become such a poor, criminal ghetto like run down place in big parts....even ruled continously for decades by the SPD, the CDU and even by the Greens recently...

The argument the AfD will be worse is somehow not so convincing if you have to live there!

This is still the 2nd best result the Greens ever had in NRW.

You don't call that a big fat middle finger from the people in NRW?

Of course all are winning but the AfD...these losers! 😎

...erm....yeah...the Greens lost lotsa voters and the AfD gained lotsa voters and even overtook them in NRW....totally alike! 🙄

I really see that in the future coming....the remains of the SPD and Greens together with the CDU and even the Linke having to band together and build unworkable, unnatural coaltions to keep them in power even if barely so....

That won't be a nice picture and will damage our democracy heavily!

Seriously!

All parties combined like a.....say....one big state party? And winning?

The AfD has their numbers tripled...in western red heartland.....if that counts as victory for the gov I don't wanna see them losing!

PS: I personally like the kick in the ass for the Greens...they are well on their way to a an also-ran party....well deserved!

Got a question from another thread for you Torqi:

If Alien would be and post as some Mohammed from Germany (with the same texts and him owning a german passport), would you also treat him like a "volksdeutsch"?

How would that change your perception of him and his postings? Would they change at all compared to some Dieter or Katrin?

Aren't conservatives conservative enough for you?

Since Merkel destroyed the conservative CDU there is only the CSU left as a real conservative force in Germany, but sadly only electable in Bavaria.

I could see the AfD in East-Germany becoming some kind of Ossi-CSU now!

same mindset.

True too...

Have to run *waves*
