The Crumbling Firewall

The cartel of established parties in Germany – from climate change, gender politics, to war rhetoric – is beginning to waver. Now it is up to you, the voters.

By Dr. Rafael Korenzecher, owner of the “Jüdische Rundschau” (Jewish Review), the only independent Jewish newspaper in Germany.

Elon Musk has succinctly expressed what many readers of the “Jüdische Rundschau” and others who cherish the liberal-Western value system have been thinking for years: “Only the AfD can save Germany.” After the disastrous Merkel era, which brought Germany to the brink of ruin through suicidal immigration policies and appeasement towards Islam, both economically and socially, the green-left traffic light coalition under Scholz, Faeser, Lindner, Habeck, and Baerbock continued the political dismantling of our country.

With the coalition at an end, Germany faces a crucial election on February 23rd, which will decide the future, security, and prosperity of its people, all of which have been severely eroded by the suicidal tsunami of Islamic contempt for law, pervasive aggression, and violent anti-Semitism. However, it is foreseeable that the established parties will prefer to form a coalition of losers rather than heed the democratic will of the voters by including the AfD in the political decision-making process. It matters little which of the chancellor candidates, Friedrich Merz or Olaf Scholz, ultimately enters the chancellery; both miss no opportunity to raise the firewall against the AfD even higher, thus ignoring over 20 percent of the citizens.

Contrary to the statements of no fewer than Jewish officials misused as alibis by the woke green-left government, a coalition with the AfD also offers a chance to make Jewish life safe and risk-free again and to stop the already occurring exodus of Jews from Germany. There is also a growing number of Jewish people who see the involvement of the AfD in government as the only possibility to reverse the current impossibility of open Jewish life.

SOLID MAJORITY FOR BLACK-BLUE

The Insta-poll from January 4th clearly shows what is not only obvious but has been described by the “Jüdische Rundschau” for years: A bourgeois-conservative majority can only exist with the AfD. In the survey, Alice Weidel’s party reaches 21.5 percent, almost doubling their 2021 election result. Together with the CDU, which would assert itself with 31 percent as the strongest force, a black-blue coalition would have an absolute majority of over 50 percent, making it the only feasible two-party coalition.

Meanwhile, entrepreneur Elon Musk is taking action by clearly siding with the AfD on his platform X (formerly Twitter). Musk has also announced that he will speak live on X in a so-called “Space” on January 9th. An X-Space is essentially an interactive radio station where any user can call in to ask Musk or Weidel a question. Unfortunately, the conversation between the visionary successful entrepreneur and AfD chancellor candidate Alice Weidel will take place after our editorial deadline, but it is expected that the self-proclaimed moral elite from politics, culture, and media will resort to the most adventurous statements.

The reaction to the announcement of the broadcast once again showed the true nature of CDU’s leading candidate Friedrich Merz. After Musk’s guest article in the “Welt am Sonntag,” where he described the AfD as the “last spark of hope” for Germany, Merz countered that Musk’s call for votes was “overbearing and presumptuous.” The CDU leader could forge a bourgeois-conservative majority if he wanted to, but he lacks the courage, the format, and the stature to take new, unconventional paths to save Germany, as Musk rightly points out.

MERZ LACKS POLITICAL WILL

However, Merz would rather team up with the SPD, especially with the Greens. Unlike CSU leader Markus Söder, Merz has never categorically ruled out a coalition with Baerbock and Habeck. He would prefer to form a government with the losers Lars Klingbeil and Ricarda Lang rather than enforce his own conservative values with the help of the AfD. This majority already existed in the past. As early as 2017, the “Jüdische Rundschau” called for a “Bahama coalition,” a government of the Union, FDP, and AfD. But even then, there were hardly any voices in the CDU advocating for a liberal-conservative government. Apparently, it is customary in the Union to repeat the same mistakes instead of learning from them.

Assuming the Union does not follow either Elon Musk’s or the “Jüdische Rundschau’s” tip that the AfD is the “last spark of hope” for Germany, Merz will instead enter into a scrapping coalition with the SPD and Baerbock’s party, which has just caused a scandal in Syria. While the new ruler Ahmed al-Scharaa shook hands with his French counterpart, Barrot, he only briefly touched his chest for Baerbock. The German top diplomat phrased it this way: “By the time I arrived, it was clear to me that there would obviously be no ordinary handshakes here.”

TIME FOR A POLITICAL TURNAROUND

But she also made it clear to the Islamist hosts that this practice was disapproved of. She communicated in the conversation with al-Scharaa that women’s rights are a “barometer” of how free a society is, said Baerbock. It is hard to imagine that the new Syrian government would find the handshake of a foreign minister, who once declared war on Russia, so relevant. Once again, Annalena Baerbock morally oversteps because she sees herself as the center of world diplomacy – and factually, because she plays no significant role in world diplomacy due to her weak performance.

Under these perspectives, Elon Musk is entirely right to advocate for the Alternative for Germany. The entrepreneur’s engagement is the first glimmer of hope in years to end the eternal hegemony of woke and green-left politics, which has penetrated even deep into the CDU. The cartel of established parties – from climate change, gender politics, to war rhetoric – is beginning to waver. Now it is up to you, the voters, to turn this glimmer of hope into reality. Because 51 percent for Black-Blue means there is a clear mood for change in Germany. Elon Musk has recognized this – and above all, the voters in Germany.
