Eastern Germany stays backwards as before. The phsical wall was demolished but the wall in eastern germans hearts stands solid.
Bsw is possibly the only party that could give power to afd. Both are in support of Russia and
" The AfD opposes the fundamental legal equality of gay, lesbian, and trans individuals. The BSW tolerates gay marriage but vehemently opposes trans legislation and broader queer activism"
The fascists won. Really sad.
Thank God at least one party in Germany has some common sense. The rest of them, who are the true fascists, have done their best to portray the AfD as espousing beliefs they have never championed just as a smear campaign and it is no longer working.
Now is time on Sprockets when we dance.
So no majority. Are they going to pull a putsch? Set fire to the parliament and blame the liberals? After that, its braun shirts und jack boots.
Why are they far right? If they got a majority, that means they are mainstream, so everyone else are the extremists.
Left, right, up and down, but Earth keeps turning around with or without us…
Any kind of extreme is not good for humanity.
AfD the German peoples last hope
Their not far right just right!
AFD? Should we be worried?
Just 10 minutes old, and the comment section is already filled with pro-Ukraine bots. 😂😂
Worried people are getting fed up of sending billions to the Kyiv regime to spend on golden toilets?
The PEOPLE have spoken, the elites need to listen
Indigenous people should always protect their land and culture from colonizers.
History shows us what happens when they don't.
I just hope this party doesn't buy into all that Kremlin Cr*p. Russia is a very bad example and is changing demographically faster than any EU country.
Live by democracy, die by democracy.
The Trumpification of Germany. Hard times ahead for Germans …
PS the Evil British and European media Hate Farage 🇬🇧
La pen 🇫🇷 Salvini 🇮🇹 Trump 🇺🇸 Wilders 🇳🇱 and the Afd 🇩🇪
We all want our Countries back and Illegall immigration Stopped 😊
You advocate war against Russia to become a client-slave of the USA… You promote immigration without any restraint… You're here to say that our non-existent industry can do anything to succeed… And then you cry when fascism builds its little path to power.
Gotta throw 1945 in there.
Didn't we already go here?
Of course over 70s didn't vote for them! They're like: "Been there, done that"
👏👏👏👏👏👏
It's better to be so called 'Far Right'!!! Than 'Far Wrong', as we say in Ireland! ☘God Bless the good people of Saxony -Anhalt ! For voting in the AFD!!!!
Mass immigration is a failed policy.
bad day for germany good day for rusia
Germany is possibly on a very dark path to economic and international disaster.
Last time, Germany lost 10% of its population and 25% of its land area.
45% looks pretty centrist to me
Deutchesland for Deutches…..No more deception….
Is history from 100 years ago repeating itself 😢😢😢
This looting and using of a Country past to constraint them…….Is Over…….
Why are these parties so flipping predictable? Why can’t we have strong borders and immigration controls but not suck up to the mass murder Putin.
I, Vladimir Putin would like to thank all of you that voted for me tonight, I can't tell you how much this means to me, i love you all.
Can Germany rebuild the wall, seems the east wants the iron curtain back 😂
Are they national socializt like Adolfz 1933 party or just ordinary right like Trumps G0P?
Here we go again…
Isn’t it nice when the right doesn’t attack the democratic system.
They are admitting it…..That it's true…Germany is coming back…
We get rid of Orban; and now we get this. Urggh
World Communism has been checked. National Rally in France, Reform UK are growing stronger. If democracy still works, Marxists will be on the run.
West Germany should not have unified with east germany.
Now the globalists will place there own people in this party in the other states, and be in power again.
it is will of the people
excellent Ukraine and Germany will be new wiBe power of Europe together ⚡ 🇺🇦🙋🏻🔱🙋🏻🇩🇪⚡
Yay. Next, do anschluss.
Brandschutzmauer or Seitenbänder 😂😂😂😂
No one deserves a far right political movement that promotes division racism and violence. Peace and love are not on their lips.
How long will the world stand by and watch this time until the Right reduces Europe and the world to rubble and ashes once again? The result is abysmal for Germany.
If the news start out with far right there biased
Afd are the only normal people in germany. MAGA!
Praise be
