Germany Elections Sunday 23/2/25 (AfD Come 2nd)

[arista]

[Germany will hold parliamentary elections.
This is an important election
not only for Europe’s leading economy
but also for the entire EU and Old Continent,
including Ukraine.]


[Migration and Security

In recent months, the issue of immigration
has sprung to the top of voters’ thoughts.
After a series of deadly terrorist attacks
(three since last December, in Magdeburg,
Aschaffenburg, and Munich),
many political actors have made
it a security issue.
On this issue, the positions of all
parties have stiffened.

The Christian Union Democrats—consisting of the CDU,
led by Friedrich Merz, and its Bavarian sister party,
the CSU of Markus Söder—want a tightening
of illegal immigration that also passes
through a tightening of asylum policy
and the strengthening of national border controls.
They have attempted to]
make the Bundestag approve
a series of restrictive measures on the
issue by playing hand in hand with the
ultra-right AfD but ultimately failed.
The Union favours expanding the
video surveillance network in public spaces
and introducing facial recognition systems
(e.g., in stations and airports).]




Nicky are the AfD able to become a full partner?

the reporter said

[Nicky91]

CDU leader Friedrich Merz doesn't want to work with the AFD


as they are too radical and not to be trusted, since they don't want risk another world war like the last time the nation chose far right which led to WW2

Who thought he would beat the AfD

[arista]

Olaf Scholz
is the current German Chancellor

Soon to be replaced

[joeysteele]

Whatever government comes, as long as they work to keep the AFD out.
That will be a good result.

AfD on 20.5%. Been creeping up all night. On target and double 2021.

Viktor Orban’s Hungary has just announced that mothers of 2 and 3 children will be
exempt from income tax for life

This is a serious response to the West’s demographic crisis. Other nations should follow,
You can either have pro-family policies or endless mass immigration

Apparently all the other parties, including CDU, are willing to coalesce in order to keep the AfD out.

they sound like SNP and Labour in Scotland

absolute captured far left scumbags

[user104658]

Interesting to see people getting so excited about a resurgence of far-right politics in Germany. "Interesting". We mustn't speculate about the motives of other members though :nono:.

Getting utterly ludicrous at this point, are you still firmly on the single-track train to denial town James ?

We have a German friend here in Australia and she was telling us the AFD are atrocious. And judging by LTs weird support for them on here I’d say I’m happy they haven’t won.

Germany’s Merz vows ‘independence’ from Trump’s America, warning NATO may soon be dead
(https://www.politico.eu/article/friedrich-merz-germany-election-united-states-donald-trump-nato/)

Election winner likens the Trump administration to Putin’s Russia as he bids to take Europe in a new direction

[user104658]

He also talks about Musk and election interference.

Sorry Trump chumps.

As the mist clears from last nights German election results we can now see the following:

1. The CDU/CSU can form a coalition with the SPD to produce a government with a small working majority: 329 seats in a Bundestag in which you need 316 for a majority.

2. The Greens therefore not likely to be needed and go into opposition.

3. But the ‘official’ opposition will be the AfD with 151 seats.

4. If it’s to be a CDU/CSU- SPD coalition then perhaps it can be formed relatively quickly. Even then not before Easter. And given the policy differences it could take longer, leaving Germany rudderless at a time of geopolitical crisis and economic decline.

5. It is ironic that the biggest loser of the night — SPD — gets to stay in government. A quirk of PR voting system much loved by UK chattering classes. It will inhibit the new government from introducing the radical reforms Germany needs.

6. Meanwhile the AfD sits in opposition ready to capitalise should it all go wrong.

[Nicky91]

thankfully CDU won, and not AFD


the ball is now with them, as the most popular party, i think CDU-SPD coalition is more likely than a CDU-AFD coalition




great words from Merz regarding the current state of what the USA is like at this moment :clap1: :clap1:



also CDU are still a right wing party, so yes immigration policies will undergo certain changes for the better, illegal migrants who now arrive will be immediately sent back




but we don't need nazi's like AFD in any form of power in the country, AFD are almost similar to Golden Dawn in Greece, only difference is that the AFD haven't murdered journalists of the opposition (not yet anyway)



i think Merz is a stronger leader than Merkel, Scholz

the SPD are still the third most popular party


so a CDU-SPD coalition would also not look bad at all, 1st and 3rd most popular parties from the general public in the nation


and this is very much possible now since certain smaller parties failed to win enough votes to get into the Bundestag



as if the CDU don't know that regarding the AFD, that is why negotiations with the SPD need to go smoothly, carefully listening to their own terms for this coalition, etc since both don't want fascist AFD to get into power obviously

For most people European politics (including German) are a curiosity. We don't really know what is going on, what the parties are, who the main players are etc.

I mean I don't know anything about the AFD apart from they are - I'm assuming - anti-immigration.

with these coalition governments, it really doesn't much matter what the winning party's policies are as they have to negotiate policy away in order to form a government. None of the parties have any form of mandate

The party that won are the right-leaning party, the AFD are a far-right party that every other party in Germany has collectively agreed they won't work with, and who have been classified by the German Federal Office for the Protection of the Constitution as a suspected extremist organisation. They're white supremacists.

[Oliver_W]

They're white supremacists.
Are they actually? The leader is married to a non-white woman - which doesn't mean they can't otherwise be far right, of course.

Over-simplified; how many misogynists are married to women, how many misogynists ARE women, Maggie Thatcher is at the forefront of modern neoliberal patriarchal capitalism.

"White supremacy" doesn't just mean Aryan Nation eugenicism.

Elon Musk has continued his public association with Germany’s popular
Alternative für Deutschland (AfD) party, sending a congratulatory post on X to
the party’s co-chair Alice Weidel following the election results last night in
Germany.

In the post, Musk quoted Hungarian president Viktor Orbán who sent his own
message of support to the AfD.

“The people of Germany voted for change in immense numbers. I want to
congratulate Alice_Weidel on doubling @AfD ’s share of the votes. Good luck
and God bless Germany!” Orbán wrote.

In response, Musk said: “Indeed, congratulations Alice_Weidel! At this rate of growth, @AfD will be the majority party by the next election.”
