German elections: AfD rises to best result ever

We apologize for not having posted anything much in the last few days. We have been preoccupied with the Bergoglio death watch, which seems today to be a bit premature. Lord have mercy on him, and let your will be done. 

There is also the dizzying pace of the changes being wrought by President Trump. It's hard to keep up. And frankly, some things the Donald is doing -- the threatened tariffs, the apparent sell-out of Ukraine --  look wrong-headed. There may be method in his madness, but we'll wait and see. For now, we'll hold the applause.

We cannot, however, delay our congratulations to Alice Weidel and her Alternativ für Deutschland party for their best-ever showing in last weekend's election.

See that huge aqua-tinted area, roughly corresponding to the old East Germany, on the map? Those are seats in the Reichstag won by the AfD!

Friedrich Merz's conservative CDU/CSU got more seats -- those coloured in black -- but Germany's 2025 election has revealed a strong trend to the hard right. 

It is notable that the AfD's strength is mainly in the east, where millions of people remember what it was like to be governed by Communists. Their rejection of the socialism and liberalism of Angela Merkel and her successor Olaf Scholz.

AfD doubled its support from 10.4 to 20.8% in just four years, and is now the second biggest political force in the German parliament. Meanwhile, outgoing Chancellor Olaf Scholz's socialist SPD had its worst performance in decades, only securing 16.4% of the vote. The loony left Green Party, once considered the "coming thing", drew only 11.6% of the vote.

No wonder "Fred" Merz and Frau Merkel are seen here watching in horror as the results came in. The AfD dominates eastern Germany, apart from pockets like Berlin and half of Leipzig. In the west, the vast majority went conservative black, especially in Bavaria where Herr Merz's conservative sister party, the CSU, swept the landscape. 

Alternativ für Deutschland is spreading in the west too, and loyalty to the old mainstream parties is a thing of the past. The AfD, demonized as "far-right" by the (((controlled media))), has, for one in five Germans, become "normal". 

Even though it came second, the AfD is blocked from being part of the next government because of a "firewall" constructed by Germany's main parties, who have refused to co-operate with any party seen as "extremist". 

The same strategy -- refusing to join in any coalition with any right-wing group -- has been employed to keep Marine Le Pen's National Rally out of power in France. The firewall -- Brandmauer in German -- has worked since the end of WWII, but AfD joint leader Tino Chrupalla says, "Anyone who erects firewalls will get grilled behind them." 

The cuckservative CDU/CSU did not win enough seats to form a majority government. Herr Merz must therefore find a coalition partner, but has vowed to keep the firewall in place. He told the meeja that he believes the only reason the AfD exists is because of "problems such as migration and security that need to be addressed:" Ya think?! "We need to resolve these problems," he said, "then that party, the AfD, will disappear." 

AfD leader Alice Weidel insists it is a libertarian, conservative movement, not racist. Its big increase in public support has coincided with a series of deadly attacks in the past nine months, all by Islamic extremists who Angela Merkel's minions welcomed into the Fatherland as "refugees" and asylum-seekers. What the AfD wants to do is send them back where they came from, in a policy dubbed "remigration". 

Herr Merz will now go into talks on forming a government with the Social Democrats, who came third. He has already flirted with the AfD in the Reichstag, relying on their votes to push through a motion on migration. Now that the AfD has more than 150 seats, many CDU/CSU supporters believe it is time for the firewall to go. Stay tuned.

More good news for Germany, but what about the USA and Canada?

This is a follow-up to "Good news from Occupied Germany", WWW 31/8/24. Since we and most of our readers operate in the Anglosphere, we tend to forget that the countries of western Europe have similar problems (or worse) and, unlike in the AABC countries, their peoples are rising up against the Great Replacement.

Our post passed on the good news that the anti-immigration Alternativ für Deutschland (AfD) scored big wins in last week's German regional elections, topping the polls in Thuringia and running a close second in Saxony. The latest opinion surveys from Brarndenburg show the AfD likely to top the polls in the election to be held on September 22nd.

The AfD’s polling numbers in the eastern state have risen from 24% at the beginning of August to 30% in September, mirroring its results in Thuringia (33%) and Saxony (31%). Voters in the eastern states are even more fed up with the ruling three-party coalition in Berlin than their western compatriots. 

Latest polls show voters have more faith in the AfD to be tougher on migration and security than the coalition of mainstream parties that have in recent weeks put forward a couple of namby-pamby initiatives to stop terrorists and slow down the influx of migrants. 

The pro-migration policies, tax hikes, and radical climate agenda of the "traffic light" coalition (the Social Democrats (SPD), the Greens, and the liberal FDP) have drawn the ire of real (read: native-born) Germans, who are heeding the call of AfD leader Alice Weideleding. This is what she said last Sunday:

 

"Wir müssen uns erinnern, dass die CDU die Partei war, die die Grenzen geöffnet und offen gehalten hat. Dass die CDU die Partei ist, die aus dem AfD-Programm abschreibt, während sie gleichzeitig sämtliche Anträge, die dieses Programm widerspiegeln, im Bundestag ablehnt. Eine echte Migrationswende gibt es nur mit der AfD!"

For those who don't speak the language of Goethe, here's the translation. "We must remember that the CDU was the party that opened the borders and kept them open. That the CDU is the party that copies the AfD program, while at the same time rejecting all motions in the Bundestag that reflect this program. A real migration turnaround can only happen with the AfD!:

Dr Weidel elaborates: "We have excessive crime rates. Police crime statistics are through the roof. However, the governments in charge have made no changes at all. There is a lack of political desire for real change with regards to migration. We need a real U-turn in our country, because we do not want the murders, the rapes, the stabbings to continue on our streets and in public spaces. And you will not get that U-turn from the other parties."

How we at WWW wish that just one of our North American politicians would speak out so strongly against the occupation of our continent by the hordes of third-world benefit-seekers, imported by our "leaders", who come here for our milk and honey (as Don Cherry famously said) and bring us only all the troubles of their shithole world!
