Summary
Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban, encouraged by Donald Trump’s return to power, hosted Germany’s far-right AfD leader Alice Weidel, calling the party the “future” of Germany.
He aims to unite Europe’s far-right in the EU Parliament and praised AfD’s anti-immigration stance. Weidel, in turn, lauded Hungary as a “role model.”
AfD, polling at 21% ahead of Germany’s February 23 election, has gained mainstream recognition, with CDU leader Friedrich Merz breaking precedent by seeking AfD support in parliament.
Orban’s Patriots for Europe bloc seeks further far-right influence in Brussels.
Yes, I am aware that nothing in human civilization lasts forever apart from xenophobia and bigotry. Stating facts is not optimism. Until they gain power again, they are still Germany’s past, not Germany’s future.
no, you just have a very mainstream liberal view of how power actually works. it’s not just party in charge = this is the political course of the country
No, I have a “very mainstream liberal view” of how time works. Until something that happens happens again, it’s part of the past.
I have no idea how you can read the words, “I am aware that nothing in human civilization lasts forever apart from xenophobia and bigotry” and then try to act like I said the exact opposite. Or did you just not read them?
