Well that should be a lesson to other parties. Immigrations has been used for propaganda by every party and now people are buying it. Most europe countries lack workers, retirement age is already raised so this is collective madness. But It's very easy to blame problems on immigration instead of fixing them. And in Germany crime rate is literally at a historic low. Regarding cultural issues, immigrants usually live in bigger cities and those are never traditional
and what does that mean exactly? Thanks to the widespead global leftist censorship agenda, nobody is allowed to be racist/nationalistic so I assume they're just frustrated racists who are silenced?

This is something that can be also seen in Poland. Generally, more and more people feel disappointed with the current political landscape which caused Confederation to raise from 6%-8% to 12%-14%.

Exactly, the fact that the german media cant even describe the reasons why so many people vote for the afd makes me wonder if the german media is even trustable anymore... the media is left-wing orientated without a doubt but I think its getting too far.
there are several wrong information in it. the greens are not a pro climate party. they are anti freedom. they shut down the nuclear and replaced it with coal and than want to force the people to change their heating and want to reduce car usage so they can still get the climate goals which are only in danger at first place because of shutdown of nuclears. over 80% of germans were against those green decisions and now people pay back. also the idea of taking more debt is against german verfassung and german schuldenbremse
As a German who knows a lot of young men on the right, one thing I hear a lot is: „I don’t have a problem with immigration or foreigners in my country, I have a problem with foreigners building vibrant parallel societies in our country all the while our own culture, population and value system is dying in front of our eyes and we aren‘t even permitted to complain about it“
I don't think that's necessarily an invalid sentiment, but if that translates into a vote for the AfD, you're not ending up with Canadian immigration policies, but with ultranationalism.
@@DerdiedasBlue problem is if center parties don’t dare to talk about this they‘ll leave valid points to nationalist parties which are by nature outcasts. Besides that the media tends to label people who go against the norm as right wing not matter their political background.

The thing is that they are most popular in regions with low immigration to begin with. I agree though that we need better immigration policies, but the thing is that the AfD is very nationalistic, neoliberal and practice populism. They want to reduce immigration instead of improving it and garner people through pointless culture-wars, all while also appealing to the ultra-rich (which funnily enough, they don't publicly advertise, which isn't surprising, considering how many of their voters are low-earners). And their plans for retirement are absolutely garbage. It's basically "if we remove every left/green policy, then the problem solves itself", which isn't a real plan at all. I wish we had something like a substitute vote, which would give people the option to vote for smaller parties and as a result make our government less stagnant (all while still being stable thanks to the 5% hurdle). People are so afraid of losing their well-fair and parties are as a result afraid of actually taking action, which makes populism like this so, well, popular again. Do we really always need a world war to improve our government? Why is it so difficult to make it more democratic organically?
Put yourselves into an energy crisis Put yourselves into an inflation crisis Put yourselves into an immigration crisis Etc etc etc.. German establishment: "Why are we becoming so unpopular? This doesn't make sense"
Liberals are an extremely self-righteous bunch, so they never engage in any meaningful introspection. They look at the rise of the far right in Europe and scratch their heads in confusion before concluding "well I guess the people who used to vote for us just suddenly became racist!" instead of admitting that their terrible migration policies, far left culture war nonsense and the gaslighting surrounding those policies are what singlehandedly caused the far right's rise in the first place. lol
In Denmark, we have been open to immigrants since 1967 and what is the result, not many are integrated and their unemployment rate is over 50%, despite employers clamoring for workers. This has led to a shrill right-wing tone in Danish politics. I guess other western countries experience the same

@@jesperrasksuldrup1541 That's good to know. Ah, one question: How's your immigration policy regarding your southern neighbors? Asking for a friend... 😏
The primary reason is migration. In Germany migrants are getting very high standards in terms of support, housing and medical care. As a consequence for the natives it’s harder to get doctor’s appointments, health insurance is getting more expensive, for childcare, migrants are prioritised since the goal is to integrate their children. The housing and renting market is very difficult since Germany is lacking flats. A minimum wage worker has hardly more money than somebody who doesn’t work since they get support from the state for rent and healthcare (which they get at the same standards). This makes working very unattractive. The main parties such as CDU and SPD are not addressing these problems.
Same in the Netherlands. But we are also getting billboard advertisements from the governments that are portraying a scenario in which a native couple is preferred by a landlord over an immigrant couple. Effectively shaming natives over a questionable scenario.
All of those issues you listed, are in fact very real, you're right. But the reason, for that is not migration. It's mostly the product of capitalist-greed. I can understand your frustration, but you won't solve those issues with trying to disenfranchise the already disenfranchised. We, as the working-class, have to stop playing the blame game. Instead of pointing fingers at each other we have to start to look upwards and realize that the capitalist class, only benefits from those stupid infights among the working class. Which is why a lot of, especially right wingers, who are, despite of what they're propagate, highly capitalist, try to push forward a narrative of culture war, anti immigration and so on.
Don't forget that the children don't get integrated. Most of them don't even speak German. Why would they want to be integrated, though? They are already feeling like kings because they get everything they want.

nuclear power in germany is in a tricky spot, its been on a decline since a decade with the former Merkel Goverment promising that nuclear power would be shutdown by 2022 (iirc) and renewable energy on top of that has become economicly way more efficient to the point where its actually way more expensive paying for nuclear power so its especially hard to break a political promise that has been in the making for well over a decade since that alone would shake the Authenticity of the Goverment
Things that need to be mentioned: The motives of AfD voters are 1. immigration and 2. climate and Energie policies according to polls. I feel like immigration problem has not been addressed properly in this video. Immigration for much needed workers and asylum are to completely different things but are treated as one and the same. Germany has become the largest migration destination after the US but is much smaller and has a drastically different welfare system. 40% of immigrants live of welfare. The infrastructure just isn’t there to take up hundreds of thousands of refugees every year, a shortage of teachers, housing and medical facilities made drastically worse by asylum seekers which most of the time (over 90%) are not even allowed to be granted asylum according to the Dublin agreement and GG Articel 16a (2) which have been ignored since Merkel opened the borders in 2015. Immigrants from North Africa, the Middle East and Sub-Saharan Africa are according to the BKA over represented in violent crimes and the justice system has been way to soft in general in the last decades. Not only that but 2nd or 3rd Generation migrants even tho there parents are fairly well integrated like Turks or maroccans that came in the 1960-70 (although some of them still don’t even speak German) are more likely to commit crimes then European 3rd generation immigrants, this is due to the forming of subcultures due to cultural differences. This has become a problem in every country in Europe that has been open to multiculturalism. On top of all of this the current government decided to lower the years of living in Germany to apply for a citizenship from 8 years to 4 and in some cases even 3. These problems are not addressed or made worse with every passing year and are seem to be boiling over.
Hey do you have a source for "40% of Immigrants live of Welfare" ? because that sound quiet insane + who even counts as an immigrant ? the number I found was ~24 miilion people who migrated or have parents who migrated to germany, assuming 40% live of welfare that would be almost 10million people. There are only like 3-4 million people who receive "Bürgergeld" (unemployment subsidies), and that's the total, not only immigrants. So a source for that claim would be nice
Until now for Germany and Northern Europe things with inmigration were too well, as was "the limes" (Spain, Italy, Greece) Who has the problem, was really funny see Sweden or Danmark get mad for 30.000 inmigrants when we easily have to deal with 60-70.000 each year and they blamed us 😂😂😂
Multiculturalism has simply failed, every country needs a dominant culture. The people who come here need to assimilate, if they don’t migration will lead to bad things.
It's +90% welfare... and not just the new migrants. Same with crime. >90% crimes in Germany are commited by non Germans, most of them not eating pork and claiming not to drink alcohol! 😑
I honestly don't think the AfDs rise has anything to do with the infighting of the coalition. The AfD gets big because of migration, heatpumps and people gluing themselves on streets.
who are you and where did you get that information??? Labour do well in polls because of the way the questions are asked, Labour are doing terribly because Starmer is just a Tory and not in opposition to anything the Tories have suggested, except that he didn't suggest it first.
@@TheOmegaXicor Starmer at least wears his corporatist views on his sleeve, in Canada our major left wing parties preach about social programs and affordable housing while providing billions in corporate welfare to large multinational entities and hiring slumlords and property investors to run the housing ministry.
I have a migration background and I am a member of the AfD. My parents came from Eastern Europe and built up their life in Germany, all by themselves. Me and my sister went to school and now I am in nursing-education while my sister is in becoming a physiotherapist. We do NOT want to pay for the illegal bad behaving muslims. And the AfD does not hate all non-ethnicallly Germans. In my city there are a few Chinese-origin German citizens members of the party and everything is great. They also saw the problem with the muslim immigration.
@@andy.8444the biggest problem is, parties like the Afd cannot and will never be able to enforce everything the majority wants, especially because the majority opinion changes quickly which is why the Afd was quite confused on how to deal with Corona because their "Government bad, we good" policies were not able to comprehend quickly changing opinions which is why they went from pro lockdown to anti lockdown in a matter of weeks.
They said they would vote them but a lot won't. They want the established parties to change their policy. I agree with AfD about migration but I oppose their friendship towards Russia. Right now the most important issue for me is support for Ukraine. Them winning the war has the highest priority to me personally right now.
For us germans the migration problems, stupid gourvernment laws regarding covid, climate etc. and the overall hated gouvernment are more than enough reasons to vote for the only opposition in the whole parliament which is the alternative for germany

Please don't talk about "us germans" when, in reality, you just mean a small, uneducated mass of people, who really think that a right wing extremist propaganda party can somehow be the saviour of Germany... once again.
A main reason that is not mentioned appropriately here is the surge in immigration by asylum seekers. Most Germans, like most Europeans, desire much fewer, if any, immigration by asylum seekers. Yet the government has continued to lure MORE asylum seekers into Germany, for instance, by raising social benefits to them. There is strong evidence suggesting that immigration by asylum seekers leads to more far-right voting in all of Europe. By the way, because I think many people do not understand why anyone would be against immigration by asylum seekers: immigration by this group has been found to increase crime rates and strain social security.
So if people are e.g. threatened by their government, they should not get asylum elsewhere? It's more about enforcing the law in helping countries, in case there're subjects not obeying. Not to prevent shelter for refugees or asylum seekers.
I am not understanding why they think, bringing in millions of people from the Third World who will bring in nothing but problems, I have completely opposite cultures, and will want to implement their religions in daily life of German people. Anyone with a brain knows this will be a disaster. Is this truly just because they still feel guilty?
@@xXFe_LixXx LMAo they aren't getting asylum, they're not political dissidents. They are foreigners who see the wealth of Europe and want that for themselves. They come here to live, not to hide, no idea where you got this info from.
How does bringing in third worlders that have conflicting cultures, most with zero skills, and many potential sleeper cells help Germany? Believe me it’s a massive negative and they will be a complete dump of a country by end of century if they don’t stop

@@captainschaschlik9444 No Statistics do not confirm conspiracy theories like that. The Islamic religion is still a minority in western Europe and e.g. in Germany the number of immigrants still has not exceeded towards being a majority of the population.

I don't like the whole replacement-rhetoric either, but I think it's a valid concern that people want to keep the place they call home one that actually resembles it. It's easy to forget that immigrants still have their home countries to return to if they miss home, but people in the receiving countries won't have that luxury if they change for good.

One thing to remember is that the right wing of politics is a completely legitimate part of the political spectrum and NOT extremist. There cannot be a left without a right and vice versa. In the past, most parties have leaned so far left, that a part of our identity was missing. The conservative side. This balance is needed and is being restored at this moment. This is a good thing. Most media try to immediately lean towards claiming this to be Nationalsocialism (Nazis) but its not. At least not at the approximately 30% population currently in favor of the new party. In general, there is traces of old ideologies in each and every party, e.g. the CDU/CSU as well. These people are not in leading positions and wont dictate direction in any case, neither in the AFD nor in CDU or SPD. Our current government was elected despite being unqualified AND with legal cases against them. This is something completely unfathomable which can only be explained with massive amounts of dumbing down the population as well as migrants with voting rights hoping to keep the borders open for further migration of like minded people until a tipping point was reached which prevents this to be reversed. Here is where the migration problem unfolds! We have already seen where this will lead with massive amounts of migrants calling out for a Sharia law based Khalifat needed in Germany. Interestingly this is the exact opposite of the lefts agenda meaning they are being used to establish a political force entirely outside the german political spectrum which is entirely based on religious ideas, something western societies have moved on from long ago. This is dangerous and needs to be stopped. Like most left agendas going full circle this will also come back to haunt them at some point. (e.g. womens rights and benefits being contradicted by trans rights and benefits which effectively can lower the female quotes and lead to men in womens clothes again dominating natural women). In this case it will leave a lasting effect that is undesirable.
@@bhson95Racism and f'ing workers over is "normal"? (The AfD proposed insanse tax cuts for the rich) So no, they're just idiotic c'nts trying to enrich their mates while riding on a wave of anti-everything sentiments.
you dont need a 9 and a half minute video to see that immigration is a blatantly ignored issue. people are tired of the prevailing "safe" parties constantly ignoring something that people are upset with.
Problem is many people are upset over stupid things they mainly do not understand just like a toddler can be upset about not receiving candy for breakfast. Many people have issues with migration because german media mostly covers bad stories with migrants being criminal but if you actually look up the statistics, migrants only commit a minority of crimes and if you compare the number of criminal migrants and the overall migrant population of Germany, you are quickly able to see that the criminals are more then a minority but the Afd quickly manages to turn these facts around
as an american i must say that it must feel terrible. my american news sites do have problems definitely, and in fact probably have the opposite problem of overblowing certain issues into bigger than they are, but i never feel as if the government is ignoring a topic that is an issue. maybe topics are mis-represented or talked about in a way that doesn't always help but that's just the nature of america being relatively divided as a culture. I do hope things improve but i hope its not in the way of opposite extremes. the last thing anyone needs is a further right wing party to push to the opposite extreme of the current very centrist beurcracy focused mindset and do something drastic like force immigrants out. I try to pray for western europe in the coming century and not in a pitiful way.
I have to say, with all the bs that's thrown around in german media, I went into this video with very low expectations. But this was actually the most neutral commenting on anything conservative I've seen in a long time. There were some things I think are biased, but I'm absolutely ok with putting this on me being an AfD supporter as well as/or me being hyper sensitve about "media" talking about conservative actions from years of hearing nothing but bs. Overall a great video and a very neutral political commentary that I very much appreciate.

Well, a review of Merkel’s biggest actions shows that she hardly aligns with center-right CDU. “Politically homeless” was mentioned early in the video. She rendered many of the typical CDU base politically homeless with those two moves. There was really only one place for them to go.

The rise of the Alternative for Germany (AfD) party can be attributed to a combination of factors, including concerns about immigration, the economy, and dissatisfaction with mainstream political parties. The AfD capitalized on these issues, presenting themselves as a more conservative and nationalist alternative. Their anti-immigrant stance, skepticism of the European Union, and criticism of established political elites resonated with some segments of the population, leading to their increased support and electoral success. It's important to note that political shifts are complex and can't always be attributed to a single cause.
There is no real alternative in Germany but the AFD, if topics like restriction of migration, security, freedom of speech or economy is important to you. All the other parties speak the same: wanting to let everyone inside, not sending away refugees who killed/r*ped someone, want to dictate a specific language (genderism, censorship of "hate-speech"). Also they still want to keep up the high tax on income and make it less attractive for companies to settle here with their high restriction. So if at least another party like the CDU would go back to their roots and become more conservative, or the FDP would keep their promises and lower taxes for high-earning people or make it more attractive for companies to settle here, there would be an alternative,
The other Partys in Germany sending out people. But they sending out familys where there children goes to high-school. This is a false politic. Correct ist sending out Killers and rapers. The Problem in The German politic is that politicians make handshake photos with "Grey wolves" , turkish nationalists in Germany and many Organisations who members sypathics with the "Muslim Brotherhood". This Organisation are radical. A correct politic is, If The politic works together with "Liberal Muslims" or with "Ex-muslims. But they Work with the Radicals... why?
The AfD has even less of a plan than the current parties. The only thing I have heard them saying "The government is bad, you have been lied to, we hate immigrants". Where exactly do you see a plan for the future in there? Of course not saying anything like the current government us great, but voting for something that brings up not even one specific solution is just unreasonable
? It IS the only party that does. Openly admitting „When Germany is doing bad, it’s good for the AfD“ tells you all you need to know. You don’t like the Ampel? You don’t like CDU? Ok vote for some small party but if you vote AfD don’t be surprised to be known right wing.. it’s not Protestwählen if the party you protest elected is 2nd/3rd in general. That is establishment
The last time I spoke to an AfD official I asked him what his position was on: 1) the fact that many jobs will be lost due to artificial intelligence. 2) The fact that nations that do not invest in space research will fall behind. 3) The fact that human societies tend to undergo semi-recursive processes in which previously perceived solutions are continuously changing. Well, for the first two questions he was unable to give me an answer, while for the third he didn't even understand the question, this leads me to think that as a party they have no real idea of the future. It's just an easy false alloy opposition, they are parties that will go into oblivion in mediocrity. Ah obviously they don't even mention the return to nuclear power, demonstrating that they don't even understand shit about energy.

wow guys... you know that those kind of videos are one of the leading reasons why the AfD is becoming popuplar? in germany we have them a lot. people speak with everyone, literally everyone about why the AfD is popular, except the AfD and their voters. so yes, of course, there are many reasons. biggest one being that there is no better alternative anymore. because all other parties already prooved their uselessness. but this discrimination of by now 20% of the german population, just branding them, talking about them as they are just some weird phenomena, but not actually talking WITH them and adressing their particular needs, is what makes them associate with the AfD. because they are both oppressed parties. no talk show talks to them, no one wants to have them in their interviews, nothing. so stop your arrogance, if you really want to change something speak with the people and bring germany back to a way where we can defend the rights or the lower class without becoming nazis again, i'd really appreciate that.
That would mean that they need to actually listen to people with different ideas, and established political ideologies and their supporters do not like doing that It's much easier to just call them 'poorly educated', 'unable to adapt to modern society' or 'politically illiterate' and handwave away their existence as if it's just a child's tantrum that will stop if it is ignored long enough

I wish we could come up with a law that states that all politicians live for 1 year in complete poverty as the states tolerates it. minimum governmental aid. a small apartment, every additional income being instantly confiscated.

I didn't even need to see the video to answer this. Because the current parties have failed for decades. They have an election system that almost always ends up in a coalition, which means the largest party (normally in the 20-30% of the vote bracket) makes deals with smaller parties such as the green party (5.7% of the vote last time I believe) and that involves cabinet positions and their policies. So a party that has less than 6% of the vote can inflict their policies on the entire country.
@@HoaxManTheOne No? My point was that having multiple parties with some degree of power is better than what the U.S.A has. I dislike Right wing parties and would have much prefered better parties. And many times did CDU actually have 50% in the last 16?

Some years ago, I checked out TLDR news for the first time, for their coverage of Brexit. Their coverage was biased in favor of Remain, so I tuned out and stopped paying attention to them. I checked out this video to give them a second chance: it should be a good litmus test. Would they smear the AfD as far right? Would they present the AfD's position fairly, without passing judgment on it? I'm pleased to say they surpassed my expectations. Good job, TLDR team.
This is based not only in Germany that right-wing parties are becoming increasingly popular, but. There is one thing that makes people angry and that is the whole issue of gender throughout Europe.
Me as a German I can say that the Afd is NOT as right as it's Show. We have massive problems with migrants like in France in my City I am as a German in the minority because we have mostly muslims here. Our Land is ging downwards out cities look like Turkey 2.0
@@semjonbart5371 the Nazis (which are not fascists btw, nazism =! fascism) were modern, relatively progressive and had nationalizing (socialist) economic policies. They were against the church and against individual freedom .
It has to be noted that the AfD is not a right-wing party. Some of their positions may slightly steer into the political right, but on the whole they are centrist AT BEST. Also, their traditional predecessor, the CDU, has not been a right-wing party even half a century ago, when the people were personally a lot more conservative. Places like Germany (other examples include Italy, France, Scandinavia, Japan, some regions in the US) simply are so leftist that even those furthest to the right are still on or near the left. In fact, Germany has never since at least medieval times been leaning right or ruled by right-wingers, not even during the heavily military-focussed Prussian rule from the 1870s on - and it probably never will.
The most fair video about the AfD, no salacious "far right" label in the title. REAL journalism. The ONLY issue I might take is that being the least supportive of Ukraine does not necessarily make one "sympathetic towards Russia'.
While I appreciate that this channel avoids sensationalising and politicising these issues like DW does, it really needs to proofread & check its graphics on German topics. These frequent errors like "Saxony-Anholt" or referring to the wrong federal state distract from the information and the credibility of the content.
That's good, if AfD gains power and the same happens in France with Reconquete, then Europe will change. Yes migrants are not the only problem, but if you look closely to what is means to have so many foreigners in your home country in such a small period of time coming from Asia and Africa (see what happened everywhere in Europe after 2015 and especially in Northern Europe) then the demographic issue appears which is linked to labor so to economy and so to society itself and then the bigger picture reveals itself: Europe's downfall.
@@rn6312 Well yours is another not so hidden "whatever I don't like is Nazism" critic and you have to be very old to have heard something in the 30s and be still around these days! By the way we're not living the 30s and that's a blessing since if it would have been the case the economic situation would have been worse then the one occuring now. I don't know if you're European but the situation is really out of control with migrants on so many levels. Sweden has almost 20% share of its population coming from non-Swedish background, strangely enough when this immigration was only from Finland, Russia and rest of Europe it was no big deal. Then as the same progressive government has admitted something drammatically changed with the coming of Syrians, Iraqi, Eritreans and Somalis so that the rate crime spiked and Sweden has been recently described as a "narcostate". Germany welcomed almost 1 milion Syrians since 2015 and they still have the lowest employment rate amongst foreigners, then 300k more Afghans with what happened in 2020 and many thousands from other part of Asia. Different languages, religion, culture, but same problems Scandinavian countries are now trying to face with more stricted rules on immigration, see what Denmark is trying to do in order to avoid and replicate Sweden's mistakes. Here in Italy we used to have less then one million non-Italian at the beginning of this century, mainly from Albania and Romania so from other European countries. Since 2015 they magically became 5 millions, so 4 milions more peole and they're not coming from Europe this time but immigration has reached worrisome numbers from China, Pakistan, Bangladesh, India, Nigeria, Senegal, Morocco, Egypt, Tunisia. In some cities like Prato, 1 out of 5 people living there is Chinese, in Milan 20% of the population is non-Italian, generally speaking more then 1 out of 10 people living in the north is non-Italian. In France is even worse and what's been happing in Paris, Marseille, Lyon, Nice since 2015 is tragically eloquent. Did you know that in London, Leicester and Birmingham White British are a minority and in some London's borough like Newham, Brent, Harrow Britons do not make more then 35% of the population? I feel most Europeans are tired and I hope something big will change in the short time, step by step.
@@michelecastelli7498 Honestly if you dont let them in you wont be able to pay for the social welfare system. In 20 years pension system collapse. yeah you could have more babies, but you dont, and a developed country needs workforce. Or your country will become a neoliberal nightmare.
@@gaborrajnai6213 The solution is only the one you mentioned in your comment: to have more babies. Actually we can, the real needs are proper family's planning laws which can incentivate the total fertility to rise at least to 2.1. Take the case of Georgia where the TFR was below replacement level until few years ago and now it's at 2, we need to re-understand the cultural value of family itself which is the core of state fundation: no family no nation. If you think immigrants are the solution fo everything then it is really an ethnical replacement. Germany is the land of Germans as Morocco is for Moroccans and Japan the one of Japanese: this was the normality till the '90s-'00s and it needs to be restaurated as soon as possible.
Things are uncertain in the world, cost of living is rising. Right wing policys often appear to benefit the country or its people more directly so people gravite towards them when they are worried about thier future. Also the previous gov in Germany did a pretty bad job so there will be counter cultural backlash
Hot take but neoliberal economics and the ruling party's refusal to actually govern instead seeking "compromise" is what's leading to the current unrest. When your life is getting worse and the government isnt doing what they were elected to do it leads to really bad outcomes
They don't "keep going far right", they keep getting betrayed by the parties who are in the government, and look for alternatives. It's probably mainly due to many of the largest parties being composed of dimwitted people who has never needed to look outside their shallow close circle, and have no idea what people want. Especially the Greens are bad at that, since all they have to sell themselves is tha good story of a climate crisis. But really, they have no competence whatsoever. If there would be capable parties in the government, the far right wouldn't grow all that much. I fear the next elections in Belgium, after our government composed out of liberals, greens, socialists, and admittedly, a few christiandemocrats... Despite both largest parties being Nationalist parties (not that I mind them not being in the government, politics are just too broken at this point to form a functioning government, which plays exactly into their hands, so they keep growing) Sincerely, A frustrated christiandemocrat voter

I really don't get why it's so hard for the CDU to back policies, which are clearly popular. I thought Merz was going to take the CDU in a more ideologically right direction, but I don't see that happening very much. This shared concensus between all major parties in Germany strikes me as very undemocratic. No wonder people are driven to the only alternative.
huh? Thats exactly what happens. But the CDU is just repeating what the AfD says --> the AfD wins in popularity and not the CDU. The CDU need's a more right winged politic but without the populism of the AfD.
It’s not “the right”, although there are a few bad apples in that party. Nevertheless, they’re less extremist than the currently reigning Green Party that allows state media to openly refer to some citizens as parasites and rats. The main difference is that the AFD is the only party in Germany that understands the economy, Germany’s comparative economic advantage, and citizens’ concerns about the status quo. Politicians in that party generally either have a good academic track record or hands on real world work experience. Quite the contrast to the current government. Government and media try everything to keep them down and out by pushing them further into the right corner and trying to prohibit them. Heavily supported by the state owned media. In reality, it is the only conservative party left, basically the new CDU. The majority of the population is fed up with established parties’ incompetence and unwillingness to progress wealth and wellbeing. They could easily take 30-40% of votes if it wasn’t stigmatised that much.
The AfD and a good grasp of economy? What on earth made you believe that? Stefan Kotré, the energy political speaker for the AfD, claimed that electricity from nuclear power plants was cheap. The AfD wants to leave the EU. Brexit has shown us what a stupid idea that is. Furthermore, a good academic record is still not worth shit if you allow holocaust deniers to exist in your party.
Yes it returned, because the past and current elected parties did a poor job in the integration since 2015, by not acting. This lead to the possibility that a partie like the AFD is Abel to collect votes form people how aren't happy with the crime rate of asylum seekers, which of course resulted of the German bureaucracy being unnecessarily complex for foreigners who don't even speak the language.😮💨 Furthermore people like the right wing still have Nazi ideals, but due to the governments protection of free speech and the lack of executive force there is proportionaly nothing done against people who refuse to learn from our past.
@@rn6312Nazi Germany will never come back again so stop using this comment to scare people😂the Germans are just tired of receiving so many illegal immigrants
@@rn6312 just because few people in the comment section said fascist things doesn't mean that AfD is a fascist government. Most people are probably voting for this government because they don't want anymore illegal immigration in their countries.
As a Brit we have the same problems here. Our leaders haven`t been acting in our best interests for decades. Good luck to Germany, you need to leave the EU too.
