In the Thuringian city of Weimar, opposite the theatre where the National Assembly hashed out Germany’s constitution in 1918, stands the museum of the history of the Weimar Republic. ‘A spectre is rising in Europe – the spectre of populism,’ a plaque reads. ‘Forces long thought overcome seem to be returning to threaten the basis of democracy. The Weimar Republic and its neighbours knew the phenomenon only too well.’
JD Vance has met Alice Weidel, the co-leader of Alternative for Germany (AfD), outside the Munich Security Conference (MSC) after criticising the organisers for excluding the party.
In a landmark address to the conference, the US vice president denounced the pariah status placed upon the AfD.
“Democracy rests on the sacred principle that the voice of the people matters. There’s no room for firewalls,” he said, referencing a pledge by mainstream German parties not to work with or form governments with the party.
First Mannheim, then Solingen, then Magdeburg, and Aschaffenburg and now Munich.
Germany has seen so many terror attacks committed by foreign citizens over the past 10 months that it is difficult to keep track of them.
And inevitably, this latest attack will ensure that mass migration and border security remains at the very top of the campaign agenda, ahead of elections on Feb 23.
‘There are many neighbourhoods we can no longer go to because we are in danger of being injured, attacked or murdered,’ Ali Utlu tells me. As a gay German man of Turkish extraction and an ex-Muslim, he’ll be voting for the hard-right Alternative for Deutschland (AfD) party in the German elections later this month. And he’s not alone.
A survey of more than 60,000 gay German men by Europe’s largest gay dating platform Romeo found that almost 28 per cent of its users intend to vote for the AfD, making it the most popular party in Germany for gay men. The poll showed that the AfD did best among 18 to 24-year-olds: 34.7 per cent said they’d vote for the party. Among those aged 25 to 39, it was 32.3 per cent.
Alice Weidel the AfD leader is gay. This must scare the left to death.
“What my parents taught me is that they used to live in peace and calm, without having to have any fear in their own country,” says 19-year-old Nick. “I would like to live in a country where I don’t have to be afraid.”
I meet him in a small bar on a street corner in the ex-mining town of Freiberg, Saxony – where he is playing darts.
It’s a cold, foggy night in February with just over two weeks to go until Germany’s national election.
Nick and his friend Dominic, who is 30, are backers or sympathetic to Alternative für Deutschland – a party that has been consistently polling second in Germany for more than a year and a half, as the far right here and elsewhere in Europe attracts an increasing number of young people, particularly men, into its orbit.
It’s not far right when it’s near majority status Mr. BBC commie.
Hundreds of thousands of protesters took to the streets of Germany over the past week to demonstrate against the so-called “far-right”, however, a top publication has reported that activist groups involved have been funded by the left-wing government in Berlin.
Talking tough on migration has reaped its reward in Germany: both the centre-right CDU/CSU alliance and the right-wing Alternative für Deutschland (AfD) party have risen in the polls following their support for a non-binding motion that aims to turn back migrants at the border.
According to a survey commissioned by public broadcaster ARD, both parties gained one percentage point compared to a previous poll. The CDU/CSU alliance now stands at 31%, making it the frontrunner for the elections on February 23rd. The AfD is on 21% in second place.
The German parliament (Bundestag) on Wednesday, January 29th backed a non-binding motion aimed at turning back illegal and undocumented migrants at the nation’s borders.
The vote marked a significant shift in German politics, as it is the first time mainstream parties have cooperated with the right-wing Alternative für Deutschland (AfD) in accepting a proposal in the federal parliament.
Thousands of Germans took to the streets in several cities to protest the rise of far-right extremism and the growing popularity of the anti-immigrant Alternative for Germany (AfD) party.
At Berlin’s Brandenburg Gate, people blew whistles and sang anti-fascist songs, and in the western city of Cologne, protesters carried banners denouncing the AfD.
The protests also came as the AfD opened its election campaign in the central city of Halle. Around 4,500 AfD supporters gathered at a venue where the party’s leader and chancellor candidate Alice Weidel addressed the crowd.

See the flag belonging to the violent extremist left Antifa movement?
How many times is Antifa mentioned in the article?
Zero mentions, Antifa and it’s violence are given a pass, normalized in fact, while the dissent of the common man is smeared as “far right extremist”.
Elon Musk made a surprise ap pearance during Germany’s AfD (Alternative fuer Deutschland) election campaign event in Halle in eastern Germany on Saturday, speaking publicly in support of the far-right party for the second time in as many weeks.
Addressing a hall of 4,500 people alongside party leader Alice Weidel, Musk spoke live via video link about preserving German culture and protecting the German people.
“It’s good to be proud of German culture, German values, and not to lose that in some sort of multiculturalism that dilutes everything,” Musk said.
Co-leader Alice Weidel promised the “total closing of Germany’s borders” and “large-scale repatriations” of illegal migrants if elected.
Closing Germany’s borders to illegal immigration, exiting the euro zone, getting rid of windmills, and turning nuclear power plants back on—those are the top priorities named by right-wing opposition Alternative für Deutschland (AfD) party at its congress over the weekend.
Former French European Commissioner Thierry Breton has essentially openly confessed that the West stole the Romanian election and stands ready to do it again in Germany if deemed necessary.
“We did it in Romania, and we will do it in Germany if necessary,” a translation from the French of Breton’s recent appearance in European media said. Early last month a top Romanian court simply annulled the first round of the country’s presidential election in order to create what amounted to a ‘do over’ election.
U.S. billionaire Elon Musk reiterated his support for the right-wing Alternative für Deutschland (AfD) during the—much advertised and criticised—conversation with its co-leader Alice Weidel on Thursday, January 9th.
“I think only AfD can save Germany and I just want to be very clear about that,” Musk said during the discussion, which was streamed live on the entrepreneur’s X social media platform, formerly known as Twitter.

Co-leader of Germany’s far-right AfD calls for mass deportations
The co-leader of the far-right Alternative for Germany has called for mass deportations of immigrants as the party launched its programme for next month’s nationwide elections.
In a fiery speech to supporters in the small town of Riesa in Saxony, east Germany, Alice Weidel said that under the AfD — which is second in the polls with a record vote share of around 20 per cent — Germany would witness “repatriations on a large scale”.
Weidel, AfD’s candidate for chancellor in the elections, used the controversial term “remigration” to describe the policy.
There is nothing “controversial’ about the term “remigration” it’s just the bankrupt left’s means of signaling they’re scared shitless. The EU and German establishment live in abject fear of the AfD booting their snouts from the public trough.
Scores of universities and research institutions in Germany and Austria on Friday announced their intention to drop their presence on the online messaging platform X (formerly Twitter), saying its algorithms were opposed to a discourse based on scientific and democratic integrity.
The planned withdrawal in the academic sphere comes as the German government says it is also considering leaving the platform because it was having an “agitated and polarizing” effect on public political discussion.
