Germany could become the change-agent that Europe needs, the change that the world needs. Today’s German election results was a big surprise for many Germans and others around the world who are still in denial.
For others – those who are more aware on how the public pulse ticks, not just since yesterday but soon after 2020, with the start of the Covid hoax, the neoliberal destruction of economies, locking down people, non-stop fearmongering, endless terror, and wars – this election result was a welcome and much needed indication of a potential bend in the road.
With almost all votes counted, the Christian Democrats (CDU – German acronym), center-right, came in with 28.5% of the votes, and in second place with about 20.5% is AfD – Alternative for Germany (AfD – German acronym), a conservative progressive party, almost doubling their voter support since the last election in 2021. AfD was created in 2013, only 12 years ago. That speaks volumes, a trend that is seen not just in Germany but throughout Europe and in the US too.

This 23 February vote was an advanced snap election, since the ruling coalition nicknamed “traffic light” (for the coalition parties colors: red [Social Democrats], green [Green Party], yellow [Free Democratic Party]), collapsed in early November 2024.
The Socialist Party, with Olaf Scholz as Chancellor, came in third with only 16.4%, the worst election results since 1949. According to the Financial Times, the party is poised for “its worst defeat since 1887.” From where they got this figure was not explained.
AfD is wrongly labeled by the paid and corrupted mainstream media as extreme right, some liken the party to neo-nazis, just because they separate themselves from the WEF (World Economic Forum) / UN-promoted Globalist-Neoliberal agenda.
Ex-Chancellor Olaf Scholz even wanted to ban the AfD party – what a democratic move! US Vice-President JD Vance was right with his Germany and EU demolishing speech, scolding them for anti-democratic behavior and censoring free speech, at the Munich Security Conference last Friday.
Since the banning did not work, Scholz and his defunct ruling coalition called for “stonewalling” the AfD, meaning that under no circumstances any party should enter a coalition arrangement with AfD for a new government. Another exemplary democratic move!
Here are the values AfD stands for – a sovereign (again) Germany, controlled immigration with Germany’s own immigration policy [not Brussels-imposed], stop the war in Ukraine, stop wars in general, meaning PEACE.
Whereas the up-to-now German government wants to continue the war in Ukraine, despite the Trump-Putin peace negotiations, killing potentially hundreds of thousands of more people, wiping out an entire generation of young men and women for a nonsensical war – that Ukraine can never (and should never) win, but that will completely destroy what’s left of Ukraine.
This is the same distorted view the European Union defends. France is apparently concocting a European summit to set up an agenda on how to continue aggressing Russia via Ukraine… it’s insane.
The AfD is one of the few reasonable, logical, and peace-seeking parties in Europe.
On a similar cord, AfD also is considering exiting the ever more technocratic, dictatorial, censoring, democracy-demolishing European Union, a so-called DEXIT, and consequently exiting the Euro, which was created as the small brother of the Ponzi-US-Dollar.
By the same token, AfD is also envisioning exiting NATO. It is clear with NATO there will be no peace in the world. War is NATO’s “raison d’être” – NATO is the feeding machine for the war industry.
And, most importantly for the German economy, AfD would reinstate relations with Russia and on a larger scale enter again the huge contiguous region of Eurasia, which includes, India, China, East Asia and Pacific, and parts of the Middle East. Not too long-ago Europe was an integral part of Eurasia.
Over the past 100-plus years, Europe was gradually coerced away from Eurasia by manipulations of US-UK secret services, including operations “Cold War”, “Gladio” the setting up of terror groups to control Europe by lies and fear. The final straw was the creation of the European Union – never an original European idea.
If AfD had her way, the party would embrace Germany and Europe and jump forward towards a new style sovereignty: independent monetary policies, defense policies, immigration policies and foreign relations policies. Germany would most likely be copied by many other European countries.
Germany is not there yet.
What will change in German politics, if anything, and possibly to some extent in Europe, depends largely on the coalition partner(s) the winning CDU will choose.
The German Parliament has 630 seats. With current election results, the AfD is posed to get 150 seats, and the CDU center-right winner 208; together 358 seats. Sufficient to form immediately a new government. An absolute majority is 316 seats.
CDU and AfD together could coalesce into a new alliance and start acting as a “new” Germany, leading the way for other European countries to follow, as most European people want CHANGE – change towards peace, towards national sovereignty, independent monetary and defense policies.
Foremost, they do no not want to be steered and dictated and controlled by central Brussels, with technocratic digitized rules.
Nobody in the whole world and in their clear mind wants to be controlled and digitized, AI-ed (AI- Artificial Intelligence) into a digital gulag. Take note, Mr. Musk!
For now, let us wait and see what will become of Germany after these elections.
