EUROPE - So here we have Ursula von der Leyen, the unelected head of the EU, warning that if any nation votes the ‘wrong’ way, meaning not in line with Brussels’ dictates, the EU will crack down. "We have tools". Democracy be damned, obedience comes first...
The truth is out in the open for all to see: Europe is already a dictatorship! There have been several examples over the years where a vote has gone the "wrong way" - only for the unelected EU leaders to override the result. Is this what we are seeing in Germany right now?
The German government is also ruling like a dictatorship, ignoring democratic principles, blocking the will of the people who support the AfD. But they have created a new parliament that is a near copy of the previous administration - which failed. How can they hope to succeed with essentially the same group of politicians in charge?
The defeat of Mr Merz in the first round of the German leadership contest exposed the unstable foundations on which his leadership was built. As the AfD spokesman said, Germany’s new government was “starting out in extreme instability”. “It will remain unstable. That is the opposite of what Germany needs."
"Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation; and a house divided against a house falleth." (Luke 11:17)
The new parliament is split on the border issue - some members want still more migrants... Another split - the green mandates are suffocating industry under the weight of unattainable standards... Some want to work with Russia while others support Ukraine. Meanwhile Germany is energy-dependent on more expensive energy from the USA and other nations, raising costs right at a time when Mr Trump's tariffs start to bite. Germany's prosperity is under serious threat - and we all know how this story ends... the AfD awaits!
