According to this DW article, Friedrich Merz (CDU) is set to be the next chancellor of Germany.
With vote counting finished, preliminary results show the conservative Christian Democratic Union (CDU) led by chancellor candidate Friedrich Merz and its sister Christian Social Union (CSU) won the election with 28.6% of the vote.
But what about the AfD, which is labeled as right-wing and extremist party?
The far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) , which has been designated in parts as extremist, came in second with 20.8%.
The big winner of the election in terms of voter gains was the right-wing populist AfD, which nearly doubled its voter share compared to the previous federal election in 2021. The party, whose chancellor candidate Alice Weidel received praise from Elon Musk for her hard stance on migration, was particularly strong in the East.
However, as we can easily see, Germany is still haunted by its past, and even a slight association with right-wing politics brings dark memories. As a result, many Germans prefer to look the other way, even though they know their choice may worsen the country’s economic and social situation.
Thus, a new coalition will be formed, excluding the AfD, and the same political forces will remain in power, just as in the previous election.
What is particularly interesting is that former East Germany voted mostly for the AfD.
Does Germany Have a New Chance?
To answer that, we must take a closer look at the new chancellor, Friedrich Merz.
So his portfolio looks quite impressive (but on the globalist/negative side of things)
- Ex Chairman of Blackrock Germany
- Dedicated to deeper EU integration
- Member of the WEF's Board of Trustees
- Regular attendee WEF in Davos
- Attended Bilderberg Group meetings
- Supported Covid vaccine passports
- Wanted restrictions on unvaccinated
- Advocated for digital ID in Germany
- Supported EU-wide asylum policies
- Supports carbon trading markets
In short, the answer is no. The refugee crisis* (or as some call it, the “stabfugees” crisis) and the declining economy will continue to dominate German politics for the years to come.
*Merz even announce it proudly that they won't be any borders closure.
