A week before the German election of the Bundestag, the four top candidates crash together on showmoderator Günther Jauch. And from the start it is about Austria.
“I warn of Austrian conditions,” compares CDU candidate Friedrich Merz from the start the FPö with the German Department. And SPD -Kanselier Olaf Scholz quickly shoots himself in challenger Alice Weidel: “There is no collaboration with the extreme right, there should be no laws,” said the SPD candidate. “I think the comparison with National Socialism is outrageous,” said Afdbaas Alice Weidel and further towards Scholz: “You can insult me the way you want. They insult millions of voters.
Moderator Jauch wants to know from Merz how he holds it with the right side. “We don’t work with the AfD,” says Merz. There are many things that separate the CDU from the “Fundamental”. Then the federal Chancellor reports that he was still depressed that the CDU and ADP recently coordinated together in the Bundestag. “What can you trust?” Sales Scholz in the direction of: “This is a Popanz.” You have nothing in common with this party and these people. To Weidel: “You are a right -wing radical party.” Weidel Tellers: The AfD is a “free party”.
In the beginning, Weidel is the big winners, she smiles: “People no longer want to have this loss of control in this country.” This means that she can score with her supporters, who, according to psychological studies, have a particularly increased sense of order and are very sensitive to fears. Weidel looks relaxed how Olaf Scholz and Robert Habeck are held responsible for the Status quo and Trump Friedrich Merz with further requirements.
Demos with prominent musicians
In the run-up to the TV debate, tens of thousands of people were on the road in Berlin under protest against the AfD and the “standardization of correct positions”. The police in the capital estimated the number of participants on Sunday at around 30,000. The organizers reported 38,000 people who “had stood together for democracy and coherence”.
The “Hand in Hand” of the Alliance called the event a week before the election of the Bundestag. The organizers criticize the “standardization of the right policy and discourse” and “strengthen extreme law in Germany and Europe”. As expected, speeches in the rally were directed against the AfD, but often also against the Union and her candidate for Chancellor Friedrich Merz (CDU).
Musicians such as Herbert Grönemeyer and the drummer of the band, Bela B, performed in the rally. Grönemeyer spoke in a speech for a cosmopolitan and immigration -friendly Germany. “Make your cross on a democratic party,” he asked the demonstrators.
