Washington Times : To survive, Europe must return to its roots. In Germany, the party usually described as far-right — Alternative for Germany (AfD) — doubled its share of the vote in the recent elections, from 9% in 2021 to 20.2%. It’s now the nation’s second-largest party.
Read it all here...... The ruling socialist party of Chancellor Olaf Scholz came in third with just 16%, its worst showing since the end of World War II. The centrist-conservative Christian Democratic Union (CDU) had a plurality with 28.8%. Its leader, Friedrich Mertz, has announced he will form a coalition with the socialists rather than AfD, which shows how much Europe’s conservative parties really care about policy.
Germany’s principal problems are immigration and Islam. The tragedy was set into motion by Conservative Chancellor Angela Merkel. In 2015, Ms. Merkel took in 1.2 million refugees from Syria to satisfy a misguided humanitarian impulse and bolster an economy short of workers.Today, Germany accepts half of all European asylum-seekers — 300,000 in 2023. Last year, the number of migrants seeking government benefits increased by 169%. Although they didn’t aid Germany’s sagging economy, migrants have made jihad a part of daily life in the Federal Republic.
The past few months have brought high-profile migrant attacks in Munich, Magdeburg and Aschaffenburg. A December car-ramming at a Christmas market in Magdeburg left 10 dead and 34 injured. (The assailant probably couldn’t find a Hanukkah market.)
