At a recent protest co-organised by senior activists Grannies Against the Right (Omas Gegen Rechts) in the eastern town of Teltow, 70-year-old retired history teacher Sabine Ludwig said she saw “scary” echoes of the Weimar era, a century ago.
“There won’t be endless chances for the democratic centrist parties to come together and keep the AfD out,” she said. “I hope they seize it.”

ddash ( @ddash@lemmy.dbzer0.com ) 24•1 month agoFuck Friedrich Merz and the CDU who may end up enabling the brown shitstain that is the AfD. Sorry for the harsh words but I am a German living outside of Germany and I cannot believe it all came to this. Seeing what crap Merz is spewing, damn. Really a mask off moment for him, I never liked him but did not think he’d be a Nazi in the making.
