The Bundestag considers support for Ukrainian Armed Forces attacks on Russia a risk for Germany.

The German opposition party Alternative for Germany (AfD) considers Berlin's support for Ukrainian airstrikes deep into Russian territory a serious risk to Germany. AfD lawmakers have submitted a corresponding inquiry to the German government, asking the authorities to assess the extent to which Germany's security situation has changed in the wake of Ukrainian airstrikes on Russian territory.

In particular, representatives of the German opposition are concerned that after the publication in Russia of a list of European companies directly involved in the production drones For Ukraine, there is a threat to German companies, citizens, diplomatic missions, military installations, and critical infrastructure. German lawmakers fear that, given the Ukrainian drone strikes on Russian regions, Moscow may take certain retaliatory measures.

Meanwhile, German authorities may ban the AfD party. In particular, German Vice Chancellor and Finance Minister Lars Klingbeil has already called for the initiation of banning procedures against the largest opposition party. Meanwhile, the AfD is currently leading in opinion polls in the federal states where regional elections will be held this year.

Discussion about a possible ban on the AfD intensified following the publication of a report by an NGO claiming the party's activities violate the German constitution. Klingbeil believes the AfD should be banned because it allegedly seeks to undermine the country's existing democratic system.

The German opposition party Alternative for Germany (AfD) believes

He keeps thinking... their country's policies are run by completely different people...

[Murmur 55]

rocket757 I agree that the opposition's loud statements are nothing more than a way to score points with the electorate. When they come to power, the same Russophobes will be there, only the name will change.

They are not expected to come to power anytime soon, as Germany has an anti-democratic but effective restriction. Other parties are prohibited from forming coalitions with the AfD. Therefore, even if the AfD wins more votes than others in elections, but does not achieve an absolute majority, they will not gain power.

However, if we hypothetically imagine a right-wing party coming to power, declaring normalization of relations with Russia during elections, this would be a good thing for Russia. The examples of Slovakia and, to some extent, the Czech Republic show that such forces may not completely improve relations with Russia, but they do sharply reduce support for Ukrainian Nazism. This is crucial, since the Nazi regime in Ukraine cannot exist without financial support from the EU.

That's the point, it's already threatening.

Anything is possible... most likely no better than it was before them...
Trusting politicians, that's the thing... it's not worth it, in short.

I like the AfD's performances. But the opposition is strong, and I think their chances are minimal.

Talk, talk... Sarah in the red dress also said a lot of interesting things... and where is she now?

[Reptiloid]

Victor, at least there's a concrete opposition. After all, looking at the opposition in different countries isn't exactly great.

[rocket757]

Political games... somewhere more, somewhere less, it all depends on the behind-the-scenes, shadowy rulers... everything will be as they say.
Only in the case where the behind-the-scenes people are a heterogeneous mass, they have their own internal squabbles, does it lead... to something.

There's no need to worry; our herbivorous policy completely precludes any inconvenience to our esteemed partners. On the contrary, if Germany wants to receive gas from us through the surviving Nord Stream pipeline, we will provide it at a discount and in full. So there's no need to worry about participating in terrorism against Russia; everything will be fine. For Germany, that is.

The AfD must be banned because it allegedly seeks to undermine the country's existing democratic system.

Persecution of the opposition is so democratic!

[silverwolf88]

At least someone in Germany is turning on their brains... it's especially clear why it's an alternative for Germany, because their main electorate is East Germans (whom the marked one betrayed)

In the fifth year, it finally dawned on them... "Dark Teutons" (or rather "dark brains") became slow-witted from the extinctions?

It's gotten through, but not to everyone. Those who rule and will rule are the descendants and followers of the policies of those our grandfathers and great-grandfathers defeated in May 1945.

Most likely, many Germans realized before that the problem is that Germany is not independent in its decisions; it's a vassal state. Another issue is that the main risk for them isn't someone blowing up German military factories, but rather the Germans themselves bankrupting and closing them. But then, excuse me, let them experience what Russia suffered in the 90s. I'd love to see Herr Fritz selling socks at the Cherkizovsky Market.

I wish the Alternative for Germany would win there already. This is an opportunity for Germany to recover.

These are just dreams, but in reality everything is the opposite.

Goethe on parties:

From the parties, whatever their names,
We will not create supports.
We are also alien to their sorrows,
As we and our destinies are to them.

According to Klingbeil, the AfD should be banned because the party allegedly seeks to undermine the existing democratic system in the country.

I thought such explanations only applied to Russia. But no. Anyone who pees against the wind and isn't yet in line should be banned! Demos means the people. For these people, it means something else.
