Germany endures its national elections on Sunday after the collapse of the three-way coalition of Olaf Scholz on Sunday.
The performance of the AfD (alternative for Germany) is first observed because the other large parties have recognized a consensus to be replaced by the right-wing extremist AfD, which was replaced by the German domestic information ping after earlier party members were connected to neo-Nazi groups.
If surveys reflect the results, the discussions in the formation of the next coalition government could take weeks in a very difficult time, with Europe from explanations by US President Donald Trump and his top officials, who have proposed that the US government from the region and from the region and the region dissolves and improving relationships with Russia.
The AfD turned into an anti-migration party against the Eurozone Rescue Party over a dozen years ago after the decision of the former Federal Chancellor Angela Merkel started a large wave of refugees in 2015.
The journalist Richard Walker, based in Berlin, announced CBC News this week that the party had exceeded the parties with similar philosophies in the recent past that could never win more than a few percentage points of support.
“It also brought people in who feel that the center-right party, the (Christian Democratic Union), the party of Angela Merkel, moved too far to the center,” he said.

The alternative to the Germany Party (AfD) is expected to make major profits at Germany’s choice this weekend, which could be the biggest result for a right-wing extremist party in this country since the Nazis.

It remains to be seen whether the AfD wins a proportionate number of parliamentary seats and whether these seats are more distributed than the traditional Southeast concentration.
“The interesting question will be whether the AfD is able to do what Italy Giorgia Meloni has done, or French Marine Le Pen,” said Alexander Clarkson, lecturer for German studies at King’s College London, “what is gradually Problems waved problems without giving up too many domestic politics.

The SPD itself has tightened its position by enforcing stricter border controls and accelerating deportations, even though it also wants to bring in more foreign specialists.
Contractual economy
The largest economy in Europe commissioned for a second year in a row in 2024, and the forecasts for this year do not offer hope for quick processing.
Germany’s constitutional debt brake part of a response to the 2009-Hat financial crisis led by Merkel prevented successive governments from making important investments such as in public infrastructure in order to revise Germany’s sick economic model, says economist.
The brake limits the federal government’s deficit to only 0.35 percent of production. For comparison: Last year, the US budget deficit was more than six percent of production last year.
The ruling coalition parties, the Social Democrats (SPD) and the Greens have undertaken to continue this upper limit.
The official position of CDU, chairman Friedrich Merz, is that the debt brake must remain in the constitution and that there are no reform plans. But High -ranking party leaders announced that Merz had privately accepted that changes due to the enormous investment needs in business and defense in Germany are inevitable, since American engagement in European security is no longer a matter of course under Trump.
If they are implemented, US tariffs could also violate the German auto sector.

“Will the Americans still be there?”
Germany has provided more military help to Ukraine than any other European nation. All of its mainstream parties support Ukraine to ward off the invasion of Russia, even though they sometimes differ in the details.
The exception is the AfD who wants to end arms deliveries to Kyiv and a resumption of good relationships with Moscow.
But the country, like others in the G7 and NATO, is exposed to the disorientation that results from the new US administration.
“I hope that it remains a democracy (the USA) and does not indicate an authoritarian populist system,” said Merz recently in a campaign event in Darmstadt.
Merz even has doubts about the presence of Washington on the 70th NATO member anniversary in Germany in Germany.
“Will the Americans still be there? Eight weeks ago I would not have dared to ask this question, but today we have to give an answer.”
