"Center Right" Party in Germany Wins Elections, Vows to <i>Not</i> Close the Borders

"Center Right" Party in Germany Wins Elections, Vows to Not Close the Borders

The fake "center right" party won the election. They made noises about cracking down on illegal immigration, but, as you can see in the video below the fold, their leader and the next German PM vows that "no one is talking about closing the borders."

The "far right" party, AfD or Alternative for Germany, came in a strong second at 20%, receiving its highest vote share ever, will have... zero participation in the new government.

That's because the CDU vowed to not form a government with the "far right" (they're far right because they oppose unlimited eternal mass migration from the third world) AfD.

The "Center right" party, the Christian Democrat Union or CDU, is the party of Andrea Merkel, whose "Wilkomen" policy of allowing mass migration without even the most basic vetting has plunged Germany into crisis.

Note that they do not have a majority of the seats in Parliament, or the Bund I guess the huns call it, so that means they will have to form an alliance with another party to secure a majority and form a government.

Because the CDU abides by the "cordon sanitaire" or "firewall" policy that all the Euro Regime countries do, refusing to form governments with any party that's "far right" (again, meaning "against unlimited mass migration from Islamic countries"), that means that this "center right" party will form a coalition government with... either the German Socialist Party and/or the German Green Party, who are themselves big champions of unlimited third-world mass migration.

You might wonder: Why not just start a new party that isn't "far right" but still opposes open borders?

Well, silly, because any party that opposes open borders is "far right" and subject to the "firewall" policy of excluding closed-border parties.

So the "center right" party will be pursuing a socialist, mass-migration open borders agenda.

But they've kept those dirty "far right" voters out of power.

And what happens when the German government collapses again because the "center right" party cannot agree with its socialist and green partners?

Well, we go through the same process again: a government is allowed to govern without a majority, citing an emergency, and they stage another election in which the will of the people will again be thwarted, and the "center-right" party again forms a coalition with the leftwing open borders parties.

How long can this inherently unstable situation persist for?

Merz, the 69-year-old incoming Prime Minister, also wants a "firewall" against the US:

Europe must seek to "achieve independence" from the United States, Germany's likely next chancellor Friedrich Merz said after exit polls showed his opposition conservatives were on track to win Sunday's election, in a vote that also saw surging support for the far-right.
Merz, an old-school conservative who has never held a government role previously, is set to lead Europe's biggest economy and most populous state, after his center-right Christian Democratic Union (CDU) and its sister party won 28.6% of the vote, according to preliminary official results.

Oh sure, CNN, he's a real "old school conservative."

Look at this old-school conservative policy profile:

Bernie
@Artemisfornow
GERMANY - The Globalists win again.
New chancellor Friedrich Merz is their perfect pick.
▪️Ex Chairman of Blackrock Germany
▪️Dedicated to deeper EU integration
▪️member of the WEF's Board of Trustees
▪️ regular atendee WEF in Davos
▪️attended Bilderberg Group meetings
▪️supported Covid vaccine passports
▪️Wanted restrictions on unvaccinated
▪️advocated for digital ID in Germany
▪️supported EU-wide asylum policies
▪️supports carbon trading markets

The penetration of the cabinets continues. You cannot help the people if the people will not help themselves.

Good luck Germany.

Back to CNN:

"Let's get the party started," Merz, 69, told supporters as he declared victory at the CDU’s party headquarters in central Berlin, an apparent nod to wanting to get coalition negotiations underway quickly as the region grapples with US President Donald Trump's upending of Europe and US relations.
In a televised roundtable later Sunday evening, Merz also criticized US "intervention" in the German election campaign in recent days. "The interventions from Washington were no less dramatic and drastic and ultimately outrageous than the interventions we have seen from Moscow," he said. "We are under such massive pressure from two sides that my top priority is to create unity in Europe."

Are you kidding me? All our European "allies" do is interfere in US politics, constantly undermining us and even sending their political operatives to run ops in favor of the Democrats, but it's the US which is "interfering" in Europe?

I used to be very resistant to Trump's criticisms of NATO. No more. I want out.

Cut them loose. They contribute nothing to us. They are perpetually entitled teenagers who want Daddy America to continue paying their rent while they spend their days getting high and getting their septums pierced.

Cut them off, and let them die in the corner.

Below: 24 hours after winning an election based on the promise he would close the border, Merz declares that "no one is talking about closing the border."

Whoops, Merz did that thing in Germany's mouth that he promised he wouldn't do.

"None of us wants to close the border."

CDU's promises died within 24 hours. pic.twitter.com/4nRVKWQdse

Deb Heine:

Reid appeared to be emotionally devastated in a media interview, Monday.
"My show had value ... What I was doing had value, she trembled through tears, adding "I'm sorry imma try not to cry on TV."
Reid acknowledged that she "went hard" on many issues, including "Black Lives Matter issues," claiming "1619 was the real founding of this country," "Asian Americans being targeted-not just black folks," "immigrants who done nothing but come to this country," what President Trump "is doing that is subversive to the Constitution," and "Gaza."
Reid defiantly declared that she is not sorry because "those things are of God" and she is "just proud of my show."

Joy Reid has previously mocked "white tears."

Who's cryin' now, bitch?

47 I care a little about the UK, not at all about Germany. While we (vaguely) share a common Western Civ culture with continental Europe in terms of Christianity, and the vestiges of Roman civilization, and the Renaissance, I think we have increasingly little (if that's a thing) in common with them culturally and philosophically. So if Germany wants to be come a sh*thole with better beer, they can have a ball. Just don't ask my boys to fight for you the next time the Russkies get sporty.

You just published an article showing Stonewall UK being funded by USAID; you think that's the only example?
The US blew up Nordstream to screw over European taxpayers. It was George W Bush who insisted on provoking the Russians by pushing NATO eastwards.

AIPAC is not a European organisation and Europe does not run the third largest espionage network in the US .

This position is similar to mine.

My advice to Trump (especially after Vance's Munich speech) would be to wait until the German establishment tries to go full authoritarian on its people, like banning the AfD or something, and then presenting it with an ultimatum: backtrack or we'll cut all ties with NATO, *and* pull our remaining troops out of the country.

180 The CDU (Uniparty right wing) and the SPD (Uniparty left wing) are sclerotic at best. Both pulled their strongest support from those age 50 and older while the AfD pulled its greatest support from those 70 and under.

https://is.gd/nhAG7v

Another difference is the AfD cleaned up in the East Germany while the CDU took West Germany. If one looks deeper the AfD did pretty well in the West but not enough to carry any regions. The point here is the CDU support isn't rock solid in the least. Like here, blue collar folks are fed up with a Federal government that represents themselves at the expense of the average German. More stabby Muslims, a stagnant economy, more Marxism/Communism, more censorship, more serfdom is ultimately losing game.

And while the new impossible and unstable collation is chirping about a new PAX EU defended the bestest soldiers evar the question remains how the increasingly irrelevant EU is going to fund all this without Uncle Sugar. Trump timed the JDs Munich speech so it would have maximum land mine effect of the German elections and it worked to perfection exposing all the fractures.

That's exactly the mentality. It's not that they've become full of love for the Jews since 1945--far from it--but they are absolutely terrified that someone might call them racists again, and will do whatever is necessary to avoid the accusation, even if it kills them.

Yeah, that's one of the many outcomes of the "death of shame" in Western culture. I attended a 3-day business conference a year ago in a major city. There were over 1,000 attendees, and the content was serious business info--this wasn't a "come get drunk" gathering unless that's what you wanted to do after hours. Over one-third of the women there I wouldn't have dated because they came daily to 8:30 am business gatherings wearing outfits that might not have been appropriate at 8:30 in the evening at a club, much less that early in the day and a business gathering.

At this point, my read is that the "self-flagellation" is an EU ploy, a psyop, to disempower the German people. I don't think it's working very well with the younger German demographics - the under 50 years old generations are abandoning the "center" parties and are moving in droves to the more radical Left and Right.

PARIS (AP) — Four people were in custody Sunday after a deadly stabbing in eastern France that authorities linked to Islamic extremism, according to the national anti-terrorism prosecutor’s office.

A Portuguese man was killed in the Saturday attack in the city of Mulhouse, near the border with Germany. Seven police officers were wounded, including a parking control agent hospitalized with grave injuries, the prosecutor’s office said.

I'm old enough to remember a time when the mere mention of the Bilderberg Group would cause people to run around screaming about UFOs, fluoridation of water, MK-Ultra and the subterranean lizard people who control the world on the surface through psychotropic drugs and manipulation of the time machine that they stole from the Joos.

I keep having to put check marks next to these indicators of crazy-time, balking only at "lizard people".

Joy Reid - yes, your show had value.

Had value as a bad example.

Like the bad kid on the block your mother told you not to emulate.

They have such a good track in resisting fascism, too, having given birth to it in the first place.

355 "WinZip is a brand of zipping. Never knew you needed a license for it. Also I haven't heard of WinZip in like 15 years."

You only need the licence if you want to make executable install files with .zip files, otherwise, don't bother.

356 "The head of the AFD is Alice Elisabeth Weidel. She is a lesbian lady, her partner is a Sri Lankan-born film producer, and they have two adopted children. She has a degree in economics and lived six years in China. She has a doctorate in International Development. She's worked at an investment bank, and as a business consultant. She supports the EU. She's also a good dancer. Agnostic. And thinks Hitler was a communist.

So, your typical Nazi.

357 Ah, yes - the German elections. Despite all the evidence on how their policies are wrecking (at least by our definitions) German, and the rest of Europe, they insist on pursuing them further still.

The Bible is full of stories of folks who tried God's patience, sorely tried His patience, to the point that He finally said "fine, have it your way." These stories do not end well.

Europe? "Fine, have it your way."
