The world breathed a collective sigh of relief as Europe’s largest economy upheld its 80-year tradition of not electing charismatic strongman leaders.
Last week’s election, which many feared could mark the return of far-right dominance in the Bundestag, has now concluded—those who value peace on the European continent have collectively sighed in relief.
The CDU, Germany’s centre-right party, came out on top and continued the German voters’ post-war love affair with uncharismatic bureaucrats with an impressive lack of energy.
The AfD, Germany’s far-right party—often compared to the Nazis by the unreasonable woke mob—secured second place with 20% of the vote.
The far-right party, which advocates for mass deportations of asylum seekers and migrants, the departure of Germany from the EU, and an end to Germany’s “guilt culture” over World War II, has long defended itself against allegations that it has anything in common with the Nazis.
AfD, led by Alice Weidel, whose grandfather, Hans Weidel, was an early Nazi activist and military judge, has faced accusations of Nazi sympathies from the woke left.
Despite an endorsement from a white South African billionaire who did a Nazi salute, the AfD was unable to escape the completely unfair allegations of being related to the Nazis.
Friedrich Merz is set to become the next chancellor of Germany—likely forming a minority government with the centre-left party in an unspoken agreement between mainstream German parties to never cooperate with far-right parties — known as “the firewall.”
Merz, a soft-spoken bald man with round-frame glasses, pledges to have no charisma, raise his voice, or grow a moustache as the rest of the world looks on worryingly at the rise of the far-right across Europe.
