The weekend win by Alternative for Germany in the state of Saxony-Anhalt has sent shivers across the continent, and could embolden the right across Europe.
who could’ve seen this coming /s
Politicians all of a sudden calling this a serious moment have had their heads in the sand for the last 2 decades.
Voters who think far right parties will fix anything are ignorant of history. 100 years after Mussolini, Italians will tell you “he made the trains run on time”. The reform of train management was put into place by the government before Mussolini.
People think government can improve their lives in a few months, all they can do is make things much worse quickly, see USA.
This is true. Unfortunately education should be one of the primary interests of any government. Though it’s often one of the last for a reason.
Ignorant of history, sure, but centre parties cutting back on education did not help. The PISA scores are obvious enough.
The best way to stop far-right parties is for non-far-right parties to get off their asses and start fixing the problems our society is facing. To be specific, prioritizing financial security and stability for regular people above all else - even the “economy”.
Or to put it in simpler terms: we’re fucked.
Non-far-right parties are captured by burocracy and lobbies to not solve anything, far-right ones don’t solve anything either but because they have no morals they can promise it.
Scholz and Merz have had years to fix the issues that people were complaining about and they choose to do nothing and if anything they choose this outcome so if you want to blame anyone blame them.
