The week before a 23-year-old Syrian refugee stabbed 5 people in Austria, the authorities had arrested a 14-year-old Turkish teenager who had been preparing for a bomb attack on a train station. That made for two Islamic terrorist attacks in two weeks in the small sleepy country.
Germany is reeling from two car attacks in two months and an Afghan refugee stabbing a 2-year-old boy to death making for three terrorist attacks in three months. The latest victims from the Munich car attack by a Muslim terrorist include a mother and her 2-year-old daughter.
Germany’s upcoming elections will be the latest test to determine whether Europe can take any more. Austria’s elections saw the Freedom Party score its best numbers yet. Some 60% of the Austrian electorate had come out for ‘conservative’ political parties critical of Islamic migration.
Austria’s political parties remain dysfunctional, but its electorate is demanding an end to terror.
Polls show that 1 in 5 Germans are ready to vote for Alternative für Deutschland (AfD) making it potentially the second largest party in the country. If so, AFD would be on track to double its numbers in under four years. Most of the credit for that would go to the German public, not AfD which, like most right-wing parties in Europe, continues to run inept political campaigns.
But what voters want or vote for often doesn’t matter in Europe. Voter surges in France and the Netherlands by parties critical of Islamization were nullified by a corrupt political culture that colluded to keep Geert Wilders and Marine LePen out of office. The compromise government in the Netherlands without Wilders has failed to achieve any actual change and was nearly brought down when its Moroccan State Secretary for Benefits and Customs resigned in a huff over government remarks critical of Islam after the Muslim riots in Amsterdam targeting Jews.
Numbers from late last year show that Marine LePen would win 35% of the vote in a 2027 presidential election in France, a little better than her 2017 results, and the 2024 election gave her National Rally party 37% of the popular vote. But recent history shows that without winning an outright majority, right-wing parties in Western Europe will simply not be allowed to govern.
European coalition politics and dysfunctional right-wing parties which often make it impossible to form a government continue to cripple any meaningful European response to the crisis.
America’s strong executive branch and two-party system have their pitfalls, but they also make it possible for someone like Trump (or, vice versa Obama) to be elected and have free reign to make significant changes over the course of four years. That’s difficult to accomplish in Europe where governments rise and fall, and can be brought down through coalition and internal party backstabbing. If Trump had won an election in Europe, he would have likely lasted six months before being brought down in a palace coup. Most likely though, like Geert Wilders, he would never have even been allowed to take office and make any changes in the first place. --->READ MORE HERE
American conservatives need to discern propaganda from reality.
American media—very much including conservative outlets—are reporting that Germany’s “conservative” party won the recent parliamentary elections.
Not quite. The winning party, with 28.5 percent of the vote, is the CDU—which stands for Christian Democratic Union—and is called the “conservative” option in Germany. But there is no longer anything Christian, nor conservative, about the CDU.
There is nothing conservative about free speech restrictions, which current CDU leader Friedrich Merz supports, rebuking U.S. Vice President J.D. Vance’s criticism of them.
Nor is there anything conservative about a party that allows the destruction and inhumanity of an invasion. It was a CDU chancellor, Angela Merkel, who in September 2015 opened the country’s borders, allowing in a million third world migrants, mostly young Muslim men, in less than four months.
Millions more have flooded the country since then, and the result has been an unmitigated catastrophe of daily rapes, assaults, and knife attacks, as well as Islamic terror attacks in ever shorter intervals. Jews are once again attacked on German streets—this time, not by Germans. No-go zones are firmly entrenched. All this in a country that was one of the safest countries in the world. All this with virtually zero opposition from CDU politicians, who looked the other way.
Yet even President Donald Trump, no fan of open borders or German-style censorship, praised the election results in Germany as a win for conservatives.
The truth is that the only party that wants to secure Germany’s borders and deport millions of migrants, as well as protect free speech, is the Alternative for Germany (AfD). American conservatives should recognize this domestic political reality about such a vital U.S. ally.
The German government, the mainstream media, and the vast majority of Germans demonize the AfD and its supporters as “Nazis”—a mindless and dastardly smear that makes as little sense in Germany as it does when employed against Trump supporters in the United States.
While it is millions of migrants, not AfD members, who make evermore cities and towns unsafe for Germans, those same Germans gather by the hundreds of thousands to protest “the Right.” From “Grannies Against the Right” to Antifa to average citizens, countless Germans have drunk the government and media Kool-Aid, swallowing the suicidal lie that the masses of migrants with explicit anti-Western values are an “enrichment” to German society; and the slander that the AfD hates immigrants and gay people (no matter that the head of the party, Alice Weidel, is in a civil partnership with a woman from Sri Lanka).
The AfD garnered just under 21 percent of the vote—with its strongest support in the former East Germany, which, according to mainstream propaganda, is a hotbed of racism and hatred. The “good” western Germans love few things more than denigrating those wretched easterners.
Merz, meanwhile, is on board with every other party in Germany in declaring a “firewall” against any kind of collaboration with the AfD. --->READ MORE HERE
