Oaks anybody who says no to open borders and safeguarding one's nation is far right. Far right equates to be a patriot.
GERMAN Chancellor Angela Merkel is set to suffer a huge defeat at the Brandenburg state elections on Sunday as far-right eurosceptics Alternative for Germany (AfD) are on track to top the polls.
Many people in the region depend on coal mining for their livelihood. But as Angela Merkel’s Government decided to phase out coal fired power plants, residents have turned to the far-right eurosceptic party as the only party campaigning on finding a solution to the upcoming economic crisis they will face. AfD candidate for Brandenburg State Parliament Steffen Kubitzki works as a technician in the local coal power plant and says other parties have no plan for when coal mining will become history in Germany.He told DW News: “Ten years ago I would never have dreamt of going into politics and being involved in such things.
“I could have chosen to spend my time fishing and walking the dog, lead an easy life.
“And being a member of the AfD makes things difficult because people are hostile towards the party."
Speaking at a local rally, Gottfried Curio, AfD Member of the Bundestag, gained the support of an unexpectedly big crowd as he ramped up the party's anti-immigration rhetoric.
He said: “Our own culture is vanishing in public life. Every day little signs make us feel our homeland is disappearing. (YES JUST AS INTENDED BY THE OPEN BORDERS GLOBALISTS YOU ARE BEING REPLACED BY THIRD WORLD INVADERS)
Refugee shelters open up next door, we see women in veils and more and more shisha bars.
“And hardly anyone speaks German on public transport anymore.
“That’s why Germany’s faith lies in the hands of the AfD voters.”
Echoing Mr Curio's comment, Alexander Gauland, AfD Co-Leader told the same crowd: “If the AfD gets into power, we will resume control of our borders.”
Earlier this month, a poll released in Germany indicated the AfD, now the largest opposition party in the Bundestag, would be likely to take 23 percent of the vote in eastern Germany, followed by Angela Merkel’s Christian Democrats (CDU) with 22 percent.
In another blow for centrist parties, the far-left party Die Linke gained 14 percent of support in the poll, while the Social Democrats (SPD) came in fifth place with 11 percent.
The poll questioned 1,419 respondents from 25 July to 31 July, asking them “Which party would you vote for if general elections were next Sunday?”
It concluded: “The AfD has good chances in the upcoming elections to not only hold on to their successes of the last elections but to increase them.”
