German Populists Surpass Merkel Party in Regional Elections

Tuesday, 29 October 2019, 8:45 MJA Uncategorized 11

The populist Alternative for Germany (AfD) relegated the Christian Democratic Union of German Chancellor Angela Merkel into third place as they saw a surge of support in the region of Thuringia.

Breitbart Europe: The regional branch of the AfD in Thuringia, led by firebrand politician Björn Höcke, managed to score 23.4 per cent of the vote on Sunday, coming second to the far-left Die Linke, a descendant of the former East German (DDR) Communist Party who won 31 per cent, Deutsche Welle reports.

The result left the CDU of Chancellor Merkel in third place with 21.8 per cent of the vote, a big defeat for the German leader and her party who have previously been beaten by the AfD in other eastern regions like Mecklenburg-Vorpommern in 2016 and in Brandenburgin early 2019.

Mr Höcke, who has been known for several controversial remarks in the past, commented on the Thuringia result saying, “This is a clear sign that a large part of Thuringia says: ‘This can’t go on’,” and added, “We need renewal — this should be taken seriously.”

While the AfD has achieved strong results in the East of the country — formerly occupied by the Soviets until 1989 and in part down to this more conservatively minded today — no parties have so far publically expressed a desire to form a coalition government with them. read more

  1. Our overlords don’t even have a good reason for the nanny police state anymore. Toothpicks must be outlawed to protect the environment. Rope must be banned for safety. Baseball hats must be outlawed because they are ugly. Insurance must be mandatory to protect the insurance industry. Flagpoles must be banned to protect property values.

    Why not just put Americans in prison when they’re born?

  2. Yet, Merkel remains in power and directing her country.

    The Germany of history is being destroyed and will reemerge as something entirely different than it has been during its earlier history.

    …silly, they don’t want us in PRISON! They want us DEAD!

    …although if we gestate long enough to provide our Liberal and Muslim overloads with a supply of baby body parts, that’s OK too…

    Hmm… It’s almost (not quite, but almost) like the Germans that escaped the United States’ genocide, are the only Germans left.

  11. …except that the treasonous CDU (Christian Democrats…the equivalent of a RINO/GOPe Party) will agree to partner with the Communist Die Linke to run Thuringen.

    Until things get *bad enough*, the AfD will unfortunately not have much influence.
