In 2024, Germany faces chaos with a rising AfD, a rightward shift in Merkel's Christian Democrats, and a collapsing Left party. The governing coalition also adopts a more right-wing stance. This video explores the changing political landscape in Germany.

CORRECTION: At 1:50, when we're talking about the AfD's popularity in Saxony, we mislabelled Saxony-Anhalt on the map. Saxony is in fact the region to the southeast, below Brandenburg and to the east of Thuringia. Apologies for this error; we hope this has cleared things up and you nonetheless enjoy the video!
Hi TLDR-Team 😄. Thank you for the correction :) Also just so you know the 'K' is actually pronounced in Wagenknecht :)
Also I think the thumbnail is misleading because it shows the FDP and SPD slipping to the right as much as the AFD. When in reality the AFD is so far right you could not see them in the thumbnail.
No problem its the least important of the 16 Bundesländer anyway
Came to the comments to point it out. Thank you for the correction
It’s okay you’re forgiven of your sins my child
Imagine calling yourself the "green" party and supporting coal power plants instead of nuclear ones
Of course the only thing isn't green about that people would point out against nuclear is the waste.
I'd say their rampant support for PDF files is more of a concern...
Or they'll point out that nations like Russia control vast amounts of uranium on the market, or that it takes a LONG time to build new nuclear plants because its an international project that requires resources and personnel from a ton of countries, versus the relative speed of alternatives (which conservatives tend to block every chance they can despite their nations needing the power, because its more profitable for them personally to go nuclear)@@jkamin88
The Greens are also the most war mongering currently!
Germany had a record production in renewables while coal usage was on the lowest level since 1961. German Co2 emission were on a 70-year-low and Wind power alone contributed twice as much as lignite coal to energy production.
Austria better start accepting every art student
😂
Austria's only success was to convince the world that bethovan was Austrian and the failed painter was German 😅
Only he can save Deutschland from becoming a Caliphate
@@millennialmind9507As an Austrian I am not aware that anybody ever tried to claim that Beethoven (not "bethovan" ... ) was Austrian. He clearly wasn't. Also, everybody knows that little Adolf was born in Austria. While I am certainly not a "patriot" (the whole concept of patriotism seems cheesy to me) it's quite ignorant to reduce the history of a nation to two instances. Two instances one of which isn't even a thing. Especially because I think you're American and as such you certainly don't know anything about Austria.
I'm Austrian and unfortunately Austria has the same problem as Germany. It's even worse here.
In Denmark, we had this scenario back in 2015, during the migrant crisis.
The Danish People's Party was the only party back then, which was sceptical regarding the immigration. So when the Danes started viewing the current (back in 2015) issues with immigration as a problem, they started looking for a solution. And the only party back then, which had any kind of answer to the problem was the Danish People's Party.
To keep the story short. The Danish People's Party got incredibly big, and fast. Getting its' greatest election in their history. However, it was short lived. As the other more mainstream parties, whose voters had chosen the Danish People's Party, started copying their opinions regarding the issues with immigration. This resulted in the voters, for the most part, returning to the parties they voted for earlier.
With the mainstream parties adopting the strict immigration policies of the Danish People's Party (with some of the major ones, even going further) and new parties, who also wanted to go even further, the Danish People's Party basically faded out into obscurity. It is still active today, but we are talking about 1/4th of the votes they had before.
You could call them the great losers, because they have lost all of their power. Due to the voters leaving them.
You could also call them the great winners, as most of the powerful mainstream parties adopted their policies.
The same appears to be happening in Germany now. Even Sweden appears to have had a taste of this trend.
PS: I use the word "immigration" loosely. All of this is regarding refugees. Not immigrants who were accepted to live and work in Denmark, because of their skillset.
Media labelling anyone they don't like as 'right' does not make it a right wing party.
Stopping immigration is not right wing, it's basic protection.
The issue is precisely that this hasn't happened elsewhere. There has been a growing resentment in many countries among sizable groups who have been feeling disenfranchised from politics, and they've just been antagonized further over time. Had the political systems adapted to make some sensible concessions, as they should in a democracy, there wouldn't be this much resentment against mainstream politics.
You might as well call them what they are:
*Illegally arrived economic migrants*
If they were really refugees they would have
gone to the first safe country and applied
for asylum as well as filing the paperwork
to legally migrate to other countries.
The same thing happened with Nigel Farage and his Brexit party in the UK, right?
@@here_we_go_again2571given one most of the asylum seekers are redistributed by the EU they obviously must’ve made some attempt to do so.
Two it’s an easy thing to say but you say it as if these are people of means, probably not the rich wankers that fled these countries with cash and personal lawyers and still were accepted for asylum.
Small note: the state you marked as Saxony on the map at 1:54 is actually Saxony-Anhalt. Saxony lies east of Thuringia and south of Brandenburg.
Well there is like twenty other saxonies out there (not counting the ones in England lol) so I forgive him
@@Ungehorsamactualy there are 3 in germany and that woes the wong one.
Almost every country in the EU is moving to the right. It's going to be weird results after this year's (2024) EU-elections.
Gotta thank mass illegal immigration for that, people told them stop the flood of migrants but they decided to ignore them.
If you decide to ignore your voters they'll go for someone else.
Well after 90 ish years of going to the left, we now can't afford houses, food or having kids. Something the right generally wants to fix.
Poland is moving left 😂
The previously none far right parties are taking far right policies to please the group voters that would otherwise move to a far right party. Majority want government to fix their problems but you can fix a lot of problems if you respond to proposals that will affect you.
@@jurejs006They didnt have very more far right to go
All of Europe is shifting right, we are having a classic "where has my country gone" moment.
Those of us on the right are looking forward to it. This continent is being overrun by foreigners, rape and crime on the rise, economic meltdown due to war with Russia. You have to be mad to think Europe is now better than it was 10 years ago.
@@lukefleetwood7958 it's happened in Greater Manchester for decades, we've had immigrants forced upon us.
Mass illegal immigration is the main cause of the massive right wing shift in all of Europe.
People told the governments to stop them but they decided to ignore them.
I hope the AFD wins and that will teach them a lesson not to ignore their voters.
I want to see the faces of all leftist melt down over the fact that Germany ain't gonna be tied to their past anymore.
gone to brussel.
This is happening to Canada too. We are not recognizing our own country. Previous immigrants are even upset with the rate of current high immigration numbers. Our government need immigrants to pay taxes and prop up our real estate and bogus economy
Not just Germany, the whole continent.
You forgot the other (probably most important) reason: Too many immigrants at once, which can't be handled properly. This also increases prices for appartments and houses. Also there are too many immigrants who do not work and too many are committing crimes but do not get deported, but can stay.
I always thought that greedy private housing companies and investment firms were driving up the cost of housing in Germany plus decades old German negligence of not investing in social housing. So now I guess it's the immigrants? I was probably really wrong, your might be right my mate
@@shahzebk7899 It's definitively both. Market demand increases prices, no matter where it comes from. But yes, concerning immigrants, it's probably more the rents, that are affected.
@@shahzebk7899 is right, as recently stated as well by Georg Restle in the German TV! It is never the poor migrant, that enriches Germany, but the bad Germans that are not welcoming enough in sharing their resources.
How did all European nations simultaneously (more or less) make the same mistake? I fear that Brussels has a lot to answer for here. We don't' know the deals done over our head in the background.
@@gearoiddom, the "deals" are publicly available European law: if someone enters the first EU member state and claims for asylum, this country has to process the claim.
Then the German government decided that it would process claims if applicants enter Germany ... and in early 2015 published this important info on back-then Twitter, encouraging many to take this chance and "flee" illegaly ("irregularly") into Germany.
Your pronunciation of Sahra Wagenknecht reminded me how lucky foreign news anchors were that Annegret Kramp-Karrenbauer
did not become chancellor
That was always the only reason why it would have been awesome to have her as chancellor. To see foreign reporters struggle with that unit of a name xD

@@backlogbuddies, Annegret is a female name, likely a blend of Anne and Margarete, both female names as well. Germany is not France, where many names are used for both genders 😉
Uncontrolled mainly male Islamic immigration is a big cause. Also lack of assimilation to the native culture plays a big part
There was a video about re-education as a requisite for receiving housing/food/healthcare and several of the men were asking why they had to change. Many don’t intend to assimilate but treat women around them by their code of ethics. Entitlement is through the roof.
@@deathkitten7635 That's always been my biggest problem, I don't think people mind immigration when it's actually people integrating into the country, but Muslim men don't want that
@@ReachTea In Montreal, there is 3rd generation Italian and Greek they still consider themselve Italian and Greek and only Canadian as second. It passes because European culture is not so far from Quebec culture but I don't think it's only the muslims.
do they also randomly blow up other people they don't agree with? @@olafsigursons

I wish the best to German people as a Volga-German descent from Argentina 🇦🇷🤝🏻🇩🇪
Since Argentina is going to shit why don't you claim German citizenship and go to Europe (Since you are volga German you can also claim Russian citizenship ) but I doubt it's appealing considering recent "Circumstances"
@@Pinkhairedkilla Can I claim German citizenship?
@@omessiasdogol Yeah bro, many Argentines who are of European descent are getting their ancestors citizenship, I have seen Argentinians who are of Italian, Polish and French ancestry getting the citizenship of those countries and any European country they came from, well apart from Spain, only Spanish who immigrated to Argentina after it got Independence are eligible for Spanish citizenship
@@omessiasdogol Honestly I am not sure but I don't think so. Firstly it depends on the country offering citizenship, not on Argentina (obviously). In the case of Italy, if you have one Italian grandparent, then you can obtain Italian citizenship. Hence I've met Argentinians, Venezuelans, even people from the USA, here in Europe on Italian passports, who didn't speak a word of Italian.
Most emigration of Volga Germans was in the 19th century so too far back.
😅 Which German again ? Not those from 40s ? Bro Pls Make sure you got some space for more Germans as many will go to Your Country again if they keep going the same road as before
Answer: MASS immigration of a completely different culture that doesn’t generally want to assimilate to German culture and the associated rise in crime, it’s not that hard.
It is impossible to grasp for the genetically ignorant.
Schwurbel woanders rum
this.
It's not an issue. Stop spreading your far right propaganda!
Modern German natives reasoning level seem to have decreased.
Q. Why the Right is on the Rise in Germany A. Uncontrolled immigration
ooooooh noooo how dare you say that, you're a racist
-Every leftist european politician, for the last 10+ years
And funny thing is the Anti-Semitism (which the Far-Right is accused of In Germany) is peddled by Hamas supporters, aka Islamic immigrants.
RA. Worse Economic Eras also cause it not just Immigrants.
Somewhat true due to bad culture assimilation but mainly just a bad Economic Situation
@@Brunel1859 So for you should everyone that comes in germany should be a beer drinking mustache bearing perfect little german? (being caricatural, don't rly know anything about germany), if they respect the law and pay taxes that's not enough? They must be like perfect germans right from the start?
@@Brunel1859 Depends on what you mean by wanting to integrate. For me, most people do that, just living (I'm not going to say chilling). The problem is that stuff ins't exactly very good for most of those migrants. Like I'm going to talk about France, but here migrants are consentrated in big cities, and that's a recipe for disaster. Very early, the communist party called for an homogenisation of the migrant population to increase social opportunities and to limit communautarism (not sure if that's a real english word).
May as well make this into a series and make a video on every European country as they’re all moving right
Yeah sorry I know except UK but that’s only because Tories suck and they don’t have many other options there
Exactly
Everything is assembling for a new world clash for hegemony. May homosapiensness prevail over neandertalism !!
Which is a shame really, the immigration issue is turning people right as if the right wingers have anything representing a solution..
Because they are all know , America doesn't give them except refugees , they know economic crisis after Ukraine war , they know inflation , they know they are withdraw from Sahel and they don't steal more minrals from there that's why coast of energy increases. And they know protest after Israel hamas war
Idk, Poland moved a bit left in their recent election, which isn’t much but we can still hope
As a German I wonder why it took that long...
For Germans shifting to right wing was taboo after WW2 after the migrant crisis and criminality going rampant people are forced to shift to the right or face consequences for being stubborn.
@@AiRPasternak Well i didnt mean in the grand scheme of things but more or less the last 20 years. Merkel was popular anf she did something massively unpopular and as time went on the other politicians just ignored the will of the people and so its no surprise that they vote for parties that promise to do what the people would have expected under the CDU in the first place. A center progressive-conservative mix party. I dont understand how people can say that anti immigration, protection of social welfare and need for integration are right topics. They are literally center to center left. Actual right policies would be ethnostate nonsense, mass deportations, phenotype laws a la apartheid and other taboo stuff
@@xModerax "Right" means 'right of center', that is conservative and beyond. The extreme policies you mention at the end would usually be labelled "far-right" or "extreme-right".
@@ElfenohrAFD is actually far right but that doesn't mean it's bad.
Germany has a huge problem with immigration and they need quick solutions ASAP, Criminality and Islamic terror is going rampant
@@AiRPasternak You think the far right isn't so bad … sure, buddy lol. Wherever the far right was in power people always had a great time …
Our patience has its limits
Ha Ha Ha Was Soll ich den Sagen
What you gonna do? You lost war. Clowns.
The immigration (specifically refugee) issue can't be overstated. I work with a number of German colleagues in Berlin. During new year they all deliberately stayed home in case of another riot involving fireworks.
All while people from other countries (UK and the Netherlands) were on a video call discussing their positive experiences.
yea its so pathetic seeing all the channels making videos about this ignoring how mass imigration have affected germany. How crime violent and sexual have risen. How much money is being spent on imigrants to integrate them, how integration havent worked as well as expected. No one dares to comment on it even if its the main cause why europe is moving right.
"immigration" is a problem in the whole EU. some countries just have the luxury they aren't yet at the breaking point but if nothing changes they will feel the pain to.
- right now the countries of entry are overwhelmed and can't deal with everyone trying to sneak in.
- Sweden is going down quickly.
- France has some area's completely taken over by "new citizens"
- The Netherlands has more "asylum seekers" than their system can handle. and how do they deal with it? they beg towns to take them in and dump them somewhere in a hotel or camping, without even asking the neighbourhood what they think about it. to use a dutch proverb: it's like mopping with the tab still open.
as long as the root problems aren't dealt with nothing will change and it only gets worse for Europe and it's people.
and if they can't solve it in a timely manner maybe they should just stop all forms of immigration (except for people that get permission from the country they want to move to) untill they have fixed it. and only after they have a good future proof fix for immigration and all the problems it causes we can start accepting new people.
@@stian1236integration? Like…?
@@ChristiaanHWaccepting a strong word then… more like taking in. In what world is dumping immigrants and refugees in camps and hotels even integrating them? At that point you’re just ignoring how people even are.
@@ChristiaanHW i know, its just that everyone who makes videos on the topic refuses to mention it.

gotta love a vague slogan with no clear or well defined plan to go along wtih it. Sad to see Germans bought that shit... Welcome to the real world, Germans
Biggest mistake ever in my humble opinion. Unfortunately, you get a lot of immigrants who are not willing to work and are putting a drain on the system. Smart immigration, yes, but not like it's now.
Yes. We'll import loads of people who don't have western values.
Because Right is Right 😅😅
not historically
Thank God!Finally Germans are waking up!
Time to call it for what it is. Uncontrolled migration of people that do not align with their values is the main reason Europe as a whole and Germany in particular is moving right.
While we do have to help people in need, we can only do so, as long as we have the ressources. Also if the people we want to help disregard our way of life, the willingness to help will obviously fall.
Immigration is being used as a weapon against the working class to undermine their bargaining power.

@@BesthinktwicePolands‘ left-wingers are the equivalent of right-wingers in other European countries.
@@krombopulos_michael UK is only moving left with regards to the economy, the issue about immigration is still right-wing as with much of Europe. I hope you realise people only are voting for right-wing parties in Europe as right-wing parties are the only ones taking the issue of immigration seriously and who want to decrease it, especially the immigration coming from Muslim countries who contradictory views on towards women's rights, LGBT rights, secularism, and overall don't integrate and usually cause crime such as what happened in Cologne, Germany 2015 on New Year's Eve.
Greatings from Germany. One thing that you missed to say is that CDU shiftet so far to the left, that saying CDU moving to right means that CDU is going back to Center.
7:09 German trains arrive late because DB was privatized. Now it's about profits more than it is about being accountable and reliable.
Immigration, it’s always immigration.
Specifically - illegal economic immigration.
Ignore your voters, call them racists for speaking about legitimate concerns about security and culture changes
Profit?
No. It's the political management and Putin. Our votes and the votes of the netherlands have to do with financial situation of citizents, not with migration. The migration problem is something, the right winged extremists are telling you, just to get more voters, so that Putin and his right winged extremists friends can win elections to rule countries and for Putin to get the Ukraine and other former Sowjetcountries. They connected to each other since years and it's part of their plan to destabilizise the west countries with Refugees!

2nd highest taxes in the world, declining economy (issue made by politicians partly), and basically uncontrolled migration from countries whose people don't share German/Western values at all. On top of that, an arrogant political establishment - that's mainly it.
You don't need high taxes to arrogant oligarch.
Whine harder
@@stevenhenry5267 I'm not whining at all lol. But these are obvious issues and people are reacting to them
I don’t see people complaining about East Asian migrants… They are actually untrusting individualistic societies. People that come from untrusting societies need to be civically integrated first before any other “value”
Absolutely correct. That's the way I see it too. The currently political establishment is betraying its own people. The germans are victims of criminal arabic clans and have to suffer a migration of mostly islamic social wellfarers with low education. Meanwhile one can discuss whether we are not only victims of the clans but of the political parties too. At least the politicians are living very well of the system. So, who wonders that the people are getting angry.
In the end its the politicians themselves who are jepoardizing our democracy.
It's not surprising
Society always goes liberal
Then has a conservative pullback
You can't always have a liberal streak for decades and decades
I don’t think that people are moving back to a conservative society. I think that the liberals are importing people that aren’t compatible with their beliefs… you cannot import Stone Age people into a modern society and expect them to accept everything… there will be always a problem with the Middle Eastern migrants. They are not people that are willing to adapt and accept that a man can be married to a man or that a woman can show their legs without been a prostitute…
The introduction of 100s of thousands of immigrants who do not share similar values or a common language is leading to an increased perception amongst the population that the country’s immigrants are not being assimilated into the larger culture and are therefore undermining Germany’s social cohesion.
Always this tired talking point of assimilation.
Look, I don't give a flying squirrel if Mehmet, Ahmed and Muhammad are well-integrated or not.
I DO NOT WANT THEM HERE, PERIOD! This is Germany, I expect my peers to be German. Take this progressivist talking point elsewhere.
Ignore people for long enough and they stop voting for you. Who would've thought?
More like ignore people legitimate concerns about migration, call them racists for speaking about it and bring even more migrants.

German problems made before the current Government (I make no claim to completeness):
- privatisation of the Railwaysystem (The railway company let the rails rot, so they got ranked higher when they turned into a joint stock company)
- Vote against glass fiber during the Kohl Government (CDU) / no "digitalisation / automatisation" policies under Merkel
- no real administrative reforms for ages (bureaucracy monster)
- our (school-)educational system is crappy.
- stopping extra funding for renewables at the turn of the millennium, while the country was at the head of the solar and wind industry (SPD/ Green) [Edit correction: The start of the fall was with Gabriel's changes to the basis for calculating the EEG. Wich wasn't in the Green/SPD Parlimant but within the CDU/SPD Parliament 2005]
- no real immigrant policy till recently (while 50% of the under ten year olds have a history of migration in Germany)
The problems right now (I make no claim to completeness:)
- CDU (on the national level) is breaking from it's tradition of being a party of integration in it's respective time, which leads to more polarization.
- Our minister of finance (FDP) is trying to fix macroeconomic problems with microeconmic policies. To have a strict dept policy and no increase in high-asset-taxation while the foreign trade surplus is shrinking and more money is rotting within private assets destroys the economic cycle. Also hindering the needed investments in education and infrastructure.
- still no big administrative reforms hindering everything from civil to economic projects.
- small and medium sized enterprises don't get the support they need to manage the change, while half-dead elephants like Volkswagen are getting their asses powdered.
- Scholz is everything but a charismatic figure of integration.

Politics can‘t automatically declare a specific industry to be the future income factor of an economy. It’s impossible to think that one-sided subsidizing will turn everything to gold. It hurts more then it does good but many people believe it will be just fine. That’s why I can‘t hear this solar panel story anymore since it would never have been sustainable on the global market. China has several factors which have made solar panel industry more marketable and profitable. Germany‘s policymakers need to do their homework and improve the general conditions for the economy (better infrastructure, bureaucracy, supply of employees etc).
Having a totally dull Chancellor surely helps.
Well, Kohl wasn't exactly a bunch of laughs, either... and despite 16 years of government, he didn't facilitate extremism.

If you want to map where someone is going, you have to put a map in front of you. On this map, there is a two-dimensional outlay of the place you are in at the moment, the places you have been to in the past and the locations you intend to get to in the future.
To say someone is moving "to the right" or "to the left" basically doesn't mean anything if you have no idea of the journey that is being undertaken.
E.g, if you are constantly driving "to the right"(or "to the left") you will end up going in a circle, at best, if you are checking your progress on the map. Should your path lead you to a dead end, or should you encounter a precipice you are well advised to look for an alternative, if you intend to keep moving ahead.
To say a country is "moving to the right" is a one-dimensional statement that doesn't tell you a thing about the whereabouts of that said country on the political map.
To a person who's political compass is unwittingly decalibrated, true North will never be achievable.

1 in 3 trains didn’t arrive late. More like 90% did!
The 1 in 3 figure is from the statistics of the DB itself where they just conveniently redefined what „late“ means.
„Late“ at large means for them where customers start to get compensation rights. Not where the train was objectively later than the schedule.
And trains that never came aren't in the statistic as well
Ahh statistics, they can mean whatever the hell you want just by how you define stuff. That is why the government loves them. If you are having a problem, don't fix it just redefine the issue so that it looks better.

Not realistic, they closed down their TLDR USA channel because it wasn't getting as much attention/views/revenue to justify a separate channel.
And there's no shot TLDR Germany does better than TLDR USA.

Thanks, great video. Just one minor thing: instead of Saxony, you have marked Saxony-Anhalt on the map.
Great, informative video. One small correction for a statement at around 7:40: "Plurality" refers to a group that's the largest but is not over 50% (otherwise, it would be a majority). Most of the parties in that table show majorities against the notion that immigration had benefitted Germany. Only the SPD show an apparent plurality against the notion.
We should be more specific, it's not migration per se - its about aggressive muslims.
no, it's about all of them.

I mean yes, though I never heard "Merkel-ism". What she did was moving her entire party to the center from where it was in the 90s, making it hard to distinguish it from their coalition partner SPD, who also moved towards the center. In the short term this worked well, as she was popular for being basically inoffensive and her policies seemed to work. But it also created a void between the now centrist CDU and the populist right, allowing the AfD to rise as a center-right replacement. That's why it's called an alternative. Unfortunately the AfD started to move to the right, leaving yet another center-right void for a while. Now the CDU seems to shift back to the center-right while Merkel's policies start to become less popular, leaving center-right voters with a tough choice: Vote for the AfD that now includes a number of far-right sentiments, or vote for the party that betrayed them for 16 years. (There are other center-right parties now, but so far they don't seem to be able to capitalize on this.)
Well put
Afd isn’t far right
Another ingredient of her long leadership was her constant sidelining of most other promising politician inside her party who might have taken over from her.
She did try to install some female friends as designated crown princesses (von der Leyen, Klöckner, Kramp-Karrenbauer) who either failed to win elections or mismanaged their ministries enough to disqualify them from her succession.
So after 16 years of Merkel, her party had become so bland and devoid of leadership that their best hope to win the elections was Armin Laschet, a professor so disorganized that he managed to lose his students' exam papers and was caught trying to cover it up by giving them grades anyway.
Merkel was very astute at staying in power but hopelessly opportunistic on every other level.
Looking at the last terms of Germany's longest serving chancellors Adenauer, Kohl and Merkel, I think Germany should limit chancellorship to two terms.
If you haven't accomplished your targets after eight years, you never will.
@@Besthinktwice That label holds no weight anymore. The AFD has been labelled far-right and n*zi since 2017. At that time, it clearly was not but the other parties tried to get rid of them in a lazy way. If you call them far right for over 5 years of course people will get tired of it. Bc if the party is already far-right, it can not go any further or they would not be allowed anymore. And ironically, this might have helped the by then few far right elements to grow to where they are today, bc they could more or less say: "Look, we get framded as far right no matter what, so why do we not use it to our benefit?"
I find Afd to be puppy right government. All promises but no teeth.
About time
1:53 that’s not Saxony
I like the way you highlight how much of the current crisis is actually a result of previous CDU and (junior partner) SPD coalition governments.
Yeah, the whole "grand coalition" phenomenon, originally to keep out Die Linke, has destroyed the centrist consensus in Germany even as it had decades of seemingly stable government. The AfD is unfortunately playing this brilliantly, despite being, in objective analysis, full of terrible solutions for pretty much every problem.
Pity the people in this country have collective amnesia and think everything went to shit in the last 2 years "out of nowhere"
@@velvetimpulse If you're talking about Germany economically, yes. On the immigration issue, no. The main criticism of immigration in Europe as a whole right now which many people don't seem to be getting is that its coming from Muslim countries. This issue has been becoming big in Germany mainly since 2015 with the Cologne, Germany incident on the night of New Years Eve. For anyone wondering, on this night mass sexual assaults by gangs of around 2000 men occurred, with the preparators described by the victims as being of "North African/Middle Eastern" appearance. In just this 1 night, 1200 women were sexually assaulted. This was after by the way Germany let in around 1 million refugees. There is a good documentary about this incident by Journeyman Pictures up on TH-cam which is free to watch.
Overall, if this immigration was coming from a country like China or Vietnam instead of Muslim countries, the criticism and fear of immigration would be much much lower.
@@ecnalms851
Islam is incompatible to European values, so that's generally the problem. Chinese are pretty meh since they've been pretty secularized and brainwashed to respect authority at all costs, so they acclimate to European cultures very well, listening to our authorities and generally not causing trouble. I don't know enough about Vietnam to say anything, so I won't.
@@ecnalms851For example a lot Mexican migrants go to the United States every year yet you don't see gangs of men going around assaulting women.

Brilliant overview of the political landscape in Germany. It might be usefull to mention that the green party also has two big factions. Just like the left Party there is a faction that stands out for social justice and big spending (currently in Government) and a more conservative faction often referred to as "Realos". The conservative wing of the green party is primarily active in southern Germany and here a traditional ally of the conservative CDU. That is why the CDU is calling the green party it's main enemy while simultanously being allied with them in 6 states. State politics and federal politics are often widely different due to the local state governments being way more down to earth and close to the people.
Sounds like India , Parties which are opponents at Federal Level are partners in State/provincial level
Excuse me but that's wrong. The fraction of the greens dominating in government are the realos. Didn't you notice all the compromises the greens have accepted wich go against their own values
Wo sagt man zu kretschmanns flügel (ich denke mal dass du BaWü meinst) realos? Und tatsächlich nehme ich keine wirkliche spaltung der grünen wahr, sondern ein gesundes spektrum.

Also known as Islam. Reminds me of the 2015 Cologne, Germany incident. 1,200 women sexually assaulted in one night on New Year's Eve by gangs of men numbering around 2000 and described by victims of being of North African/Middle Eastern appearance. This was the same year in which Germany let in around 1 million refugees, nearly all came from Muslim countries.

@@ecnalms851It’s taken a few years, but at least the people have finally learned their lesson.
You can't screen for misogyny at the border. If we had a magic machine that could do that, it'd flag just as many Germans as it would flag refugees, because there isn't anything particularly unique about refugees that makes them more misogynistic. *Every* culture, country, and religion has a misogyny problem. Hell, *atheism* has a misogyny problem.
What is different between Germans and refugees is that the German misogynists know that they need to hide their violence in order to continue offending. Refugees don't. So they look way more dangerous and urgent. But this doesn't make the Germans more 'civilized', it just makes them better at hiding the problem.
The German Green party has been pushing hard for the shutdown of nuclear fission plants, because they're worried about nuclear accidents. But that means the energy load gets replaced with lignite, a hilariously dirty form of coal (which also releases radiation into the environment). This is a trick the fossil fuel industry has been using for decades: attack nuclear as dirty so that people stay with coal and oil, which are way dirtier.
That's exactly the same trick the racists play. They hype up one particularly salient example of misogyny - e.g. the roaming gangs of rapists in Cologne - to justify the creation of policies intended solely to harm refugees. People with legitimate concerns are being used to disguise the racists.
perhaps its the right thing to do?
Like NSADP?
One of the big reasons why everyone is moving right is how the so said "refugees" behave themselves in those countries easy as that!

When everything not far left is considered to be right wing it’s easy to achieve a move to the right.
I predicted the move to the right by countries in the EU back in 2010 as I saw more and more liberal dictates being issued by the EU.
Liberals are pretty right wing in their own way
@@SophiaAstatine Liberals are woke lefties. It's only when the liberals are losing that they change course and wait to get control again to carrying pushing their woke ideology.
They have become sort of fascist, but not necessarily right wing.
I would describe it as market correcting itself. Up until now, it was mostly progressive shift. And as move to only one side, being that left or right too much is never good, pendulum is going to swing back now.
@@SophiaAstatinenationalist is the correct word. We need nationalism back, and we need to stop integrating immigrants. Otherwise there is no coming back. Most immigrants families are having 5-8 children and push their Islam agenda on the white youth along with the key words diversity and multiculturalism. Multiculturalism never worked.
As an eastern european, i realized something.
In my native Romania, lots of cadres from the old communist party became a part of the left-wing conservative party, and of the allied nationalist parties.
Given modern Germany is the result of the merger with the East, and the Afd and this new left-wing party descend partially from the old Socialist Unity Party, or at least are powerful in the old communist lands, it's likely Germany is getting a delayed development of post-communist politics that were kept in check when Germany was doing well economically.
No, we just are fed up with Muslim immigrants. It is really as simple as that. If you would have to live with them, you would understand.
Keep in mind that the upper class in the political body that we call Afd are mostly all from the Western older states but present themselves on occasion like demokratic revolutionary fighters from the east.
So my guess is that germany would have had to deal with these fruitcakes one way or another, its just that now they found a very Solid Block of Voters in the east to support them for some reason.
The more obvious reason is that, unlike Western Germany, East Germany never dealt with its Nazi past and is very uneducated about it. As such the acceptance for hate and fascism is much higher, thus the high sympathy for the AfD.

Is anti immigration a right wing policy? Plenty of free marketers (right wing) are very pro immigration, and libertarians (the far right) don’t care. Immigration is usually an issue for the poor and lower middle class, so affects the left’s base a lot more than the right.
Leftism isn't a monolith amongst poor people. Don't forget the "evil" rednecks of the South and people in so-called "flyover country" leftists love to hate. Most of those people aren't wealthy.

Defense Minister Boris Pistorius is by far the most popular politician in Germany. If the SPD wants to reverse its plummeting poll numbers, it needs to replace Scholz with Pistorius.

@@Dalinok It happens in plenty of parliamentary democracies.
@@sunoolee9467 It definitely does, but replacing someone else in power of your own party necessitates having a network of influential confidants able to machinate such a move or at the very least being supported by the base of the party to a degree that 1) leads to the fall of the one in power and 2) puts you in pole position to replace that person.
Boris Pistorius doesn’t have that for a number of reasons.
That being said, he is the best Defense Minister Germany has had in a long while. But he is also probably best in a job where he can focus on getting things done and doesn’t have to divert his attention to a variety of issues out of his direct control.
It wont work, because the politic of the whole government is bullshit! It doesnt matter which red green clown is cancelor..we need a complete new government!
I think it bears mentioning that the "werteunion" is seperating from the CDU, which is their conservative wing. so we will have a new right wing party and a new left wing party in the polls. in addition, this likely means that the cdu will move further to merkel's course again, while the werteunion is open for working with the afd as it currently looks like.
Werteunion can't separate from CDU as it was never a part of it. The same would be true for "Union der Mitte".

We’re just moving back to the center, which is long overdue.
I think it makes sense. High immigration and low energy security are typically left wing policies (shutting down Nuclear plants and relying on Russian gas was suicide). Left and Right is about balance.
The low energy security was a decision not made by a distinct political "side". Even the conservative parties acted against nuclear because the anti nuclear scare was something nearly all Germans could get behind since the 70s.
Relying on russian gas was a decision left and right both supported until the Ukraine war.
The only reality left wing policy was the immigration, forced onto Germany by the conservative CDU.
I don't get people complaining about relying on Russian gas, when Russia also supplied a large part of the fission material used for nuclear energy.
@@laurensnieuwland4657 Uranium or other fission sources are no where near as competitive on the global market. France gets most of its supply from Niger, Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan. Also it can be reused and is very energy dense.
@@Pirake123 Because those countries are so stable. The last 2 are basically Russia too, and Niger has one of the highest poverty rates in the world.
How is high immigration a left wing policy? It's not atypical of right-wing political parties to promote high immigration, especially low wage/low skill immigration to aid businesses. It's only when a high emphasis is placed on nationalism opposed to business where high immigration stops being promoted, which tends to be more when you hit the far-right.
Same can be said on the left, this video being about Germany, Sahra Wagenknecht is left/far-left and they're very much anti-immigration.
Parties tend to move far right or left if it affects society yes, the people do not care about the bigger picture, they care about their well being, and if that´s not provided to them.
Then the tired sentiment is growing and people will vote the opposite for change.
One could argue that a nation's well-being could be "the bigger picture" :)

Germany is not moving to the right, but back to the center. Under Merkel, the conservative CDU has experienced a massive shift to the left. It is now much more left-wing than the Social Democrats were a few decades ago. But you can only pursue ideologically driven policies for so long before reality catches up with you. This is happening in Germany right now. It is a correction towards the center. To paint a better picture: In the 2021 federal election, 5 parties de facto ran with a left-wing program: CDU, SPD, FDP, The Greens, The Left. Only one party had a right-wing agenda: the AfD. However, since a stable state always needs a centrist policy in order to grow and prosper, it is only a matter of time before the pendulum turns.
Considering the AfD is on the rise and they have direct ties to the NPD, a party that would have been outlawed due to being too far right… yeah no, this is nonsense

3. Invest in education to tackle the issue of work force scarcity
4. Invest in railway infrastructure
5. More diplomacy, less involvement in war conflicts
6. Tackle the housing crisis by building more and limiting the skyrocketing rents...
Imagine calling a Rosa Luxemburg Inspired Marxist „Right Wing“.
And then imagine the AFD supporting a Marxist and then being called „far right fascists“.
What they are terrified of is a unification of the AFD with a real economic left faction that is emerging again.
So the answer is to get out the woke non-binary mob who are easily manipulated tools of NATO and corporate power.
Is it really so difficult to understand that when the establishment isn't beneficial to you, you look for change?
Where else?
It is important to note that the CDU moved to the left during Merkel. So the movement to the right currently can be seen as a return to the former position.
by the time the next election in Germany happens and if CDU wins but needs to form a coalition government, of CDU Partners again with FDP or SDP, CDU voters are complete idiots to vote for this party ever again.
with the new current leader of CDU, is he willing to work with AFD Ina coalition government?
