The far -right alternative to Germany is without a doubt his favored difficult autumn that Germany is going through. Once again, a poll gives it the first: this time by the Ipsos District Institute:

25% for the AfD, 23% for the ruling Christian Union under Chancellor Friedrich Mertz, 15% for co -ruling Social Democrats, 12% for Left and 11% for Greens with significant losses. At 5%, with an upward trend, the Sarah Wagenkecht alliance moves with just 4%, below the electoral limit for entry into the German Parliament, the Liberals.

At least four other polls had been preceded by different institutes lately that seem to confirm the same trend, while at the same time impressive are the percentages of the alternative for Germany mainly in East Germany: for example in Saxon-Anchalt 39%in 39%.

“Mertz escalates, not Putin”

At the same time, in a lengthy interview, AfD co-chairman Tinos Kroupala on the T-Online website says that “no, Putin is not a threat to Germany” and continues: “We must finally start chatting (with Russia) and stop further escalation. But that’s exactly what the Chancellor does. For example, he speaks of alleged Russian dresses who invade the airspace, but there is no evidence for the time being. I find it dangerous. “

Called to comment on recent statements by Alice Weidel that “Putin must proceed with a de -escalation”, Tinos Kroupala declares that he agrees. Adding that “Defense is achieved by re -opening the dialogue, as Trump, Orban, and even Fitso do. However, neither the German government of Friedrich Mertz nor the EU government of Ursula von der Laieni are obviously eager or capable of doing so. And this is not Putin’s mistake. “

As for Donald Trump, he calls him a “absolute model” for immigration policy. “Many of everything he promised for immigration coincide with those that the AfD advocates. And he also applies his promises literally. “

Regarding the violent practices of police in the US against immigrants: “I do not support violence against immigrants. There must be a sense of proportionality. In terms of irregular immigrants it is the right of every sovereign state to decide who to enter the country and whom not. But the use of each means must be proportional. “

Commenting on the polls that bring AfD in the first place, he says that they are a leading twin with different views playing “on a double board” together with Videl. As he says, “we are addressing the feeling of all people”. In terms of a scenario for a future “communication bridge” with the Christian Union (CDU/ CSU), Tinos Kroupala appears open and even notes, causing a sense: “I have contacts with many parties, and with the CDU. I was a member of her youth (Junge Union) and I have never interrupted contact. “

He even reveals that she has baked CDUs in the past: “I last was last time in 2005, when Merkel set a candidacy for the Chancellor with Schroeder against her, winning marginally. Then I met Mrs Merkel, at a pre -election event in Kruschwitz, where I live. He gave me an autograph. But then I was young. The only thing that connects us to Merkel is our participation in youth. “

As he reveals, when he speaks with members of the Christian Democrats, discussions are focused on next year’s state elections and not so much on the subsequent federal elections. ” For him, however, in 2029 it will be the most exciting year: “Federal elections, European elections, state elections. This will change democracy. “

AFD MPs on Putin’s birthday

In the meantime, a confirmed news has caused a sense that three MPs of AfD by the Saxony-Anhald state parliament participated in an event at the Russian Embassy for Russian President Vladimir Putin’s birthday. According to the newspaper FAZ, the “Putin Silver Medal” was also awarded to the far -right Compact magazine.

These are AFD politicians Hans-Tomas Tilsnider, Florian Schroeder and Frank Otto Lizurek. For the head of the KO of the AfD in Saxony-Anhalt state, Oliver Kirchner, there is no rehearsal. “We need to create reasonable contacts with the US, Russia, Iran,” he said. However, the news does not seem to surprise anyone. “Mr. Tilsnayder sits in plenary with a cup of coffee with Vladimir Putin’s photo,” SPD’s head of SPD, Katia Pele, said.
