In an interview on krone.tv, Kurt Seinitz, Krone’s foreign policy doyen, analyses the current situation in Germany after the AfD’s election victory in Saxony and Thuringia: “There will still be many problems. The AfD is too radical even for Marine Le Pen and is being excluded. She will probably not be able to participate in the government either.”
According to Seinitz, a real firewall was formed around the AfD. Forming a coalition is now very difficult. Not only in Thuringia and Saxony, but also at the federal level. Seinitz emphasized the current situation: “The ungovernability of Germany lies in the chamber.” Just as remarkable as the triumph of the AfD was the performance of the Alliance Sahra Wagenknecht (BSW) in the elections on Sunday in both federal states. Seinitz: “In short: the BSW is a kind of AfD light. The AfD is in any case closer to many people than the BSW, because Sahra Wagenknecht is a former communist.”
Netanyahu panicked
The interview also touched on the Ukrainian military advance into Russian territory. Foreign policy professional Seinitz: “Homemade Ukrainian drones recently flew as far as Moscow. This was to be expected, since Ukraine was the former aviation center of the Soviet Union. There is still a lot of know-how there.” In another topic, when asked when the hostage deal between Israel and Hamas would take place, he said: “The discovery of the six dead hostages a few days ago was a shock. They were killed by Hamas shortly before the Israeli soldiers arrived.” His view of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu also seems critical: “Netanyahu is sophisticated. And he believes he is irreplaceable. But he is leading the worst government that has ever existed.”
Trump confused
He is keeping a close eye on the American presidential elections. Especially the role of Donald Trump. According to him, Harris has a good chance of winning the election campaign. And that makes Trump very nervous: “Trump is completely confused. You almost start laughing. Especially his statements are getting more and more confused.” Finally, the situation in Germany and its economic importance for Austria was touched upon again. Seinitz: “Germany is not in a good position, not even economically. That is also why Austria is one of the lowest places in the European Union in terms of economic growth.”
