The elections in the states of Thuringia and Saxony signal in many ways the catastrophic failure of the Berlin government and the entire political-media complex of the “colorful” Republic of Germany, beyond their state political implications. Despite the demonization campaign against the AfD (Alternative for Germany) that has been going on for ten years, the patriotic party managed to win in both federal states, easily exceeding 30 percent. A respectable percentage, although admittedly not enough to rule in the two states, but obviously a result that causes shock in Berlin. In Thuringia, the AfD became the strongest party with 32.8%, while the CDU trailed behind with 23.6%. In Saxony, the AfD reached 30.6%, the CDU 31.9%. During the vote it seemed repeatedly that the AfD would become the strongest force in Saxony as well, but in the end the systemic cartel (Christian Democrats, Social Democrats, Greens, Liberals) was able to breathe a sigh of relief, temporarily.
AfD’s winning streak is also evident at the federal level, where national polls confirm it is the strongest party, but not as strong as it should be given the state of the governing coalition. Many people so far do not see an alternative to this, unlike the AfD (Alternative für Deutschland) and the left BSW (Bündnis Sarah Wagenknecht). The latter reached its first appearance at 15.8% in Thuringia and 11.8% in Saxony. Chancellor Scholz’s party, the SPD, managed to get 6.1% in Thuringia and 7.3% in Saxony. A deficient performance that discounts the disintegration of a populist party, which once had as leaders the iconic Willy Brandt and Helmut Schmidt. The Greens left Thuringia’s state parliament with 3.2% (the limit is 5%), just managing to reach Saxony on 5.1%, a truly amazingly “lucky” coincidence, so close to the absolute minimum. The FDP Liberals were completely pulverized and came in at just over one percent in both states. So the Liberals are the first of the three parties in the governing coalition to receive the proof that each of the three parties in the coalition really deserves.
As a conclusion, and a cautionary prospect for the federal Bundestag elections in a year, it remains to say that the Christian Democrats of the CDU will find themselves at the mercy of the left-wing parties SPD, Greens and BSW. Although all polls and election results have shown for years that the vast majority of people in Germany want a center-right government and want to finally break free from the nightmare of left-green paternalism and destructive paranoid politics, the CDU continues to it ignores all the signs of the times and clings to the betrayal of its roots, of every bourgeois political essence. Once again it is failing miserably in times of existential state crisis, largely brought about by Angela Merkel’s leadership. This perspective obviously positively affects the AfD party, as it draws voters from the CDU pool and from the multi-organ failure of the governing coalition, as a result of mass immigration, the destructive madness of the “climate” and the internal security situation. Policies that throw the country culturally and economically back to the era of the Weimar Republic, which means that the governing coalition is part of the problem, not part of the solution.
In conclusion: Of course there will be no AfD participation in the governments of Saxony and Thuringia, the Pharisaic model of democracy will take care of that. Firstly, because they know very well that the result of the AfD was the product of their own complete failure for years, and secondly, because the old systemic cartel will create with the left party BSW majorities against the AfD. This was the only reason why Wagenknecht’s founding of the party was tolerated and she helped make it known through countless media appearances. Thus, the AfD’s successes in Thuringia and Saxony remain a historic turning point with a characteristic result that should not be underestimated, but the big break will not happen after this election, just as it probably won’t happen after the Brandenburg election either. in less than three weeks. The final break with the globalization system will come in the federal elections in a year or so, if in the meantime there is no premature end to the governing coalition in Berlin.
A clear victory for the AfD in the federal elections will mean, epigrammatically, that the US will have to close its bases in Germany, as political and economic cooperation with Russia will be renewed. Ukraine will be deprived of German financial aid and illegal immigrants who are in Germany thanks to Washington’s policy will be sent to their homelands. NATO will be a finished story and Europe will form its own defense military alliance, perhaps in cooperation with Russia.
