Germany's Political Earthquake: AfD Crushes the Left

Germany's Political Earthquake: AfD Crushes the Left, Ignites a Conservative Revolution

Amy Mek

Germany’s regional elections have ignited a conservative surge led by the AfD, challenging the political establishment and raising concerns about potential backroom deals that could undermine the democratic will of the people.

On Sunday, voters in two key German states, Saxony and Thuringia, went to the polls in regional elections that have sent shockwaves through the country. These elections are crucial because they not only determine the leadership in these states but also signal the growing influence of conservative values in Germany—a development with significant implications for both Germany and Europe.

The Big Story: The AfD’s Rise to Power

The Alternative for Germany (AfD) is a conservative political party dedicated to preserving Germany’s national identity, culture, and heritage. The AfD scored a major victory in these elections. Despite being relentlessly smeared and labeled as “right-wing extremists” by left-wing opponents and their media allies, the party’s supporters see this as a blatant attempt to discredit a movement committed to protecting Germany from harmful policies. They believe this narrative is a deliberate effort by the left to undermine a party that stands firmly for the nation’s interests.

In Thuringia, the AfD, led by Björn Höcke, surpassed all others to become the strongest party. In Saxony, they came in a close second, just behind the center-right Christian Democratic Union (CDU), led by Michael Kretschmer. Höcke, a staunch defender of conservative values, declared, “We want to govern!” The AfD aims to govern these states and implement policies that prioritize the interests of the German people.

However, Höcke’s leadership has not been without intense opposition. The left-wing German government has gone to great lengths to destroy him, including raiding his home for a fact-based Facebook post—a clear indication of the lengths the establishment is willing to go to silence voices that challenge their agenda.

Another surprise came from Sahra Wagenknecht, a former communist leader who recently founded the Bündnis Sahra Wagenknecht (BSW), a left-wing populist alliance.

Her party managed to secure double-digit percentages in both Saxony and Thuringia, even surpassing traditional parties like the Social Democratic Party of Germany (SPD) and the Greens (Alliance 90/The Greens). Wagenknecht, who previously was a prominent figure in the radical far-left Die Linke (The Left Party), now poses a significant challenge to the traditional left. Her success makes her a potential kingmaker in any coalition government, which could further complicate the political landscape.

The Current Government’s Struggles

The current federal government, known as the traffic light coalition, is led by the World Economic Forum-controlled Chancellor Olaf Scholz and includes the SPD, Greens, and the centrist Free Democratic Party (FDP). These elections were disastrous for them.

In both Saxony and Thuringia, their combined vote share is now less than half of what the AfD received. This has led to a crisis within the coalition, with members questioning whether they can continue to lead the country effectively. The poor performance has been blamed on internal disagreements and a general perception that the coalition is out of touch with the needs of voters in these regions. FDP Vice Chairman Wolfgang Kubicki told BILD, “The traffic light coalition has lost its legitimacy. People have the impression that this coalition is damaging the country.”

German Elites Call For "Firewall" To Prevent Conservative Governance After AfD Election Win

 TYLER DURDEN

The coalition system of government common to European nations is supposedly designed to prevent the formation of authoritarian regimes by diluting power among a greater number of parties.  But, as the last decade has shown, it has only allowed for increasing socialist control in the EU under progressive and globalist politicians.  Most parties do not represent the will of the public but they collude to form bureaucratic cartels that gatekeep conservatives out of the process. 

The majority of Europeans do not support open immigration from the third world, they do not support oppressive carbon controls and they do not support the expansion of wars with eastern nations like Russia.  These are all policies which EU progressives are trying to force on the public anyway.  That's called tyranny.

Far from stopping authoritarianism, coalition parties have normalized leftist oligarchy.  But the people of Europe (and the UK) are not staying quiet any longer. 

In Germany, the conservative AfD party (labeled right wing extremists by German Intel) have won their biggest victory since the party was launched in 2013.  The movement has secured an election win in the state of Thuringia by a wide margin and a very close second in Saxony.  The AfD is largely supported by younger voters (18-24) who are tired of the German socialist status quo of high taxes, high inflation and rising crime.   

The outcome has stunned German leftists who are now worried that future state elections and the national election in 2025 will have a similar result.

The AFD's founding was in direct response to Germany and the EU's mass immigration policies, inviting millions of third-world migrants and Islamic fundamentalists into the west without any vetting process.

Progressive and globalist leaders across Europe continue to pretend as if the concerns over immigration are held by a fringe minority, then act shocked when parties like the AfD win elections.  Olaf Scholz, the German Chancellor and lawmaker for the center-left Social Democratic Party (SPD), asserts that conservatives cannot be allowed to hold power in Germany regardless of voter decisions.  He stated this week:

“Our country cannot and must not get used to this...The AfD is damaging Germany. It is weakening the economy, dividing society and ruining our country’s reputation...”

The Chancellor failed to explain how the AfD could be "weakening the economy" when the economy has been under socialist control for decades.  Mr. Scholz urged other parties to block the AfD from governing by maintaining a so-called "firewall" against it.

"All democratic parties are now called upon to form stable governments without right-wing extremists," he said, calling the results "bitter" and "worrying".

The establishment media is now engaged in a vicious propaganda war against the AfD, with numerous outlets comparing them directly to "Nazis" despite the fact that the Nazis were far-left, not far-right.
