Alice Weidel német szélsőjobboldali vezető után Orbán Viktor a közelmúltban kiállt George Simion mellett is. Sem Weidel, sem Simion nem tudott nyerni. És míg a Weidel melletti kiállással nagyot Orbán aligha kockáztatott, Simiont méltató szavai miatt nagyot bukhat az erdélyi magyarságnál.

Cancelarul Friedrich Merz și-a anunțat planurile într-un important discurs în fața Bundestagului. În fața amenințării rusești, coalița de guvernare și-a făcut planurile, dar extrema dreaptă se opune. Cancelarul Friedrich Merz dorește să facă din armata germană „cea mai puternică din Europa în termeni convenționali”.În timpul discursului său de politică generală de miercuri, noul cancelar a descris consolidarea Bundeswehr-ului drept „o prioritate absolută” pentru a se proteja împotriva amenințării rusești și a incertitudinilor legate de schimbarea strategică americană.Anunțul vine „la o săptămână după ce coaliția sa cu social-democrații a ajuns la putere și a deblocat câteva sute de miliarde de euro pentru cheltuieli militare.Promițând un sprijin „puternic și continuu” pentru Ucraina, cancelarul a reiterat, de asemenea, că „Germania nu este o terță parte neimplicată sau un mediator neutru”.Citeste siStarea armatei federale germaneLiderul „marii coaliții” (CDU/CSU – SPD) nu s-a ferit de cuvinte, subliniind „dimensiunea descurajatoare a creșterii resurselor militare”.Este o schimbare fundamentală de orientare. Marcată de al Doilea Război Mondial, Germania a investit puțin în zona de apărare, bazându-se pe puterea americană în cadrul NATO.Dar agresiunea rusească asupra Ucrainei a marcat o cotitură istorică în abordarea Berlinului.Primul pas în această nouă ambiție va fi instituirea unui „nou serviciu militar voluntar atractiv”.Un compromis din partea principalului partid al coaliției, CDU, comentează Le Monde. Formațiunea de centru-dreapta care spera să revină la serviciul militar obligatoriu abolit în 2011, a trebuit să cedeze în fața opoziției SPD, partenerul său de coaliție.Citeste siO fabrică de trenuri din Germania va fi transformată pentru a produce tancuriAcelași ziar francez amintește că încă din mai 2022, după ce a anunțat crearea unui fond special de 100 de miliarde de euro, fostul cancelar Olaf Scholz declara, de asemenea, că „Germania va avea în curând cea mai mare armată convențională din Europa în cadrul NATO”.În ciuda unei armate subfinanțate de mult timp, Germania este astăzi una dintre principalele puteri militare din Uniunea Europeană. În 2025, era a treia ca număr de militari, după Polonia și Franța. Dar, ținând cont și de criterii mai largi, potrivit site-ului american Global Firepower, ea se plasează după Franța și Italia.Noul cancelar și-a făcut din accelerarea reînarmării Germaniei o prioritate, anunțând la doar zece zile după alegerile din 23 februarie o reformă constituțională menită să permită Germaniei să se împrumute pentru a-și finanța cheltuielile militare sporite.Deși intenționează să consolideze armata țării sale, noul cancelar nu vrea să pună în pericol legătura transatlantică. Merz a promis „fiabilitate și predictibilitate” partenerilor și aliaților săi, „un semn clar către Statele Unite”, după cum subliniază Der Spiegel. Extrema dreaptă germană se opune însă planurilor marii coaliții.Alice Weidel, co-președinta partidului AfD, l-a atacat pe cancelarul  Merz pentru că dorește să dubleze datoria federală. Ea a acuzat în același timp „retorica sa marțială menită să distragă atenția de la problemele interne”, după cum remarcă Le Monde. Pentru redactarea acestui articol a fost folosit ca sursă portalui Toute L'Europe

Tausende sind am Wochenende für ein AfD-Verbotsverfahren auf die Straße gegangen. Das Netzwerk “Zusammen gegen Rechts” und andere zivilgesellschaftliche Organisationen hatten dazu aufgerufen. Nachdem der Verfassungsschutz die AfD als “gesichert rechtsextrem” eingestuft hat, ringen Politik, Gesellschaft und Medien um den Umgang mit der AfD. Über ein Verbot der Partei wird nun noch einmal stärker diskutiert. Es geht aber auch darum, wie oft nun noch AfD-Politiker in Talkshows eingeladen werden, wie das hessische Parlament und der Bundestag mit ihnen umgehen. Die AfD selbst klagt gegen die Einstufung des Verfassungsschutzes. Bis zur Gerichtsentscheidung wird der Geheimdienst die Partei nicht als gesichert extremistische Bestrebung beobachten. Wir sprechen mit dem Kolumnisten und Juristen Heribert Prantl, der sich nun noch einmal bestärkt fühlt, dass die AfD verboten werden sollte. Die Autorin Sally Lisa Starken fragen wir nach möglichen Auswirkungen auf die AfD-Wählerschaft und der Journalistik-Professor Dr. Volker Lilienthal spricht mit uns über die Haltung der Medien gegenüber der AfD. Podcast-Tipp: 11 KM: der tagesschau-Podcast “Gesichert rechtsextremistisch” oder nicht? Was folgt für die AfD? Die Debatte über ein Verbot der AfD ist in vollem Gange. ARD-Rechtsexperte Frank Bräutigam dröselt in dieser 11KM-Folge die juristisch komplizierte Ausgangslage auseinander und erklärt, warum eine Einstufung der Verfassungsschutzbehörde rein rechtlich erst einmal nichts mit einem Verbotsverfahren zu tun hat. Welche konkreten Hürden gibt es? Und was kann man aus den in der Vergangenheit gescheiterten NPD-Verbotsverfahren lernen? https://www.ardaudiothek.de/episode/11km-der-tagesschau-podcast/gesichert-rechtsextremistisch-oder-nicht-was-folgt-fuer-die-afd/tagesschau/14547249/

Erst im zweiten Wahlgang wurde CDU-Führer Friedrich Merz zum neuen Bundeskanzler gekürt. Die Berliner politische Machtmaschine erlitt empfindliche Schrammen durch eben diesen Merz.Ein Kommentar von Hermann Ploppa.Das Hamburger Boulevardblatt mit vier großen Buchstaben läutet den taufrischen Tag ein mit der frohen Botschaft: „Ab heute regiert die Hoffnung! – Unser Krisen-Land bekommt neue Regierung.“ Hallelujah! Alles geht von nun an wie von selbst. Man scheint vollkommen sicher zu sein, dass sich der neue Kanzler mit ganz neuer Regierung den hoffnungsfrohen Untertanen zeigen wird. Die Maschine ist gut geschmiert. So träumt man in Hamburg.Denn alles ist doch nur noch Formsache, oder? Am Vormittag des 6. Mai soll Friedrich Merz zum neuen Bundeskanzler gewählt werden. Zuvor ist die Regierungsmannschaft zusammengestellt worden. Ein dynamischer Neuanfang lockt mit lauter neuen und jungen Ministern. Nur Kriegsminister Boris Pistorius, angeblich Deutschlands beliebtester Politiker, soll sein Amt behalten. Doch nach der Auszählung der Stimmen gibt es lange Gesichter: Friedrich Merz erhält nur 310 Stimmen. 316 Stimmen sind zu seiner Kanzlerwahl unerlässlich. Blamabel: die Fraktionen von CDU, CSU und SPD verfügen zusammen über 328 Mandatsträger. Also haben 18 Abgeordnete der so genannten Großen Koalition dem Merz die Zustimmung verweigert. Bleierner Schock. Dann leert sich der Plenarsaal des Bundestages in Windeseile.Das hat es noch nie gegeben. Bislang waren alle Bundeskanzler im ersten Wahlgang in ihr Amt gelangt und konnten sich sofort beim Bundespräsidenten die Ernennungsurkunde abholen. Die politische Maschine der Parteienherrschaft ist dramatisch ins Stottern geraten. Denn schon sieht CSU-Chef Söder „Weimarer Verhältnisse“ heraufziehen . Die AfD, nicht Teil der Berliner Machtmaschine, jubiliert. Alice Weidel fordert sofortige Neuwahlen. Zeitungen fragen derweil ihre Leser: „Bedeutet die gescheiterte Kanzlerwahl eine ernste Bedrohung für unsere Demokratie?“ Die Abweichung vom Drehbuch der weisen Eliten wird doch glatt zur Katastrophe hochstilisiert. Die extremistische Merz-Politik in Frage zu stellen scheint eine ungeheuerliche Attacke auf unsere Demokratie zu sein.Dabei werden die Positionen des Friedrich Merz von der Öffentlichkeit schon seit Längerem als Frontalangriff auf den inneren und äußeren Frieden wahrgenommen. Nachdem Angela Merkel Anfang der 2000er Jahre Friedrich Merz aus dem Arkanum der Berliner Politikmaschine verjagt hatte, war Merz eine Zeit lang als Deutschland-Chef des weltweit größten Vermögensverwalters BlackRock unterwegs. Zudem führte er die USA-Lobbygruppe Atlantikbrücke, die deutsche Eliten mit den Interessen US-amerikanischer Oligarchen synchronisiert. Als Sozius der Wirtschaftskanzlei Meyer Brown wickelte Merz die Privatisierung der Landesbank West LB ab. Für diese ungenierte Plünderung von Volksvermögen bekam Merz an jedem Arbeitstag 5.000 Euro aus Steuermitteln überwiesen, was Merz insgesamt um 1,9 Millionen Euro reicher gemacht hatte . In einigen Büchern erklärte Merz zudem, dass Gewerkschaften in Betrieben nichts mehr zu suchen hätten, und dass Sozialhilfe, jetzt vornehmer Bürgergeld genannt, ruhig auf 136 € monatlich reduziert werden könne....https://apolut.net/kanzler-friedrich-merz-die-zweite-wahl-von-hermann-ploppa/ Hosted on Acast.

He had the votes, he had a new coalition sealed in writing and ratified by party members, so it seemed like a formality. But Friedrich Merz's lifelong dream of finally becoming German chancellor had to be deferred by a few hours, with the 69-year-old Conservative falling at the first hurdle as backbenchers sent a signal. A hastily organised second round cancelled out what history may decide to be just a blip. But still, why did Merz fall six seats short in the first secret ballot? Who rebelled inside what now seems like a fragile coalition between Conservatives and Social Democrats?Germany's Trump and Putin-backed far-right co-leader was quick to call for snap elections. Alice Weidel was savouring her revenge after German domestic intelligence last week qualified her Nazi-rooted party as an extremist group, a status that could in theory lead to a ban for an AfD that polled second on 20 percent in February's elections. The moment of wavering in Berlin is also rattling the script in Brussels and Paris, both of which bank on the return of Germany as a strong and steady driver of reform; a nation that just scrapped its fiscal purity rules to level up after decades of chronic underfunding of infrastructure and defence.Now, with the new coalition in Berlin looking over its shoulder, with far-right challenges in upcoming Romanian and Polish elections, all of Europe is asking: will the centre hold?

If Europeans didn't get the memo in Munich, when JD Vance preferred a meeting with the pro-Putin far-right leader Alice Weidel to one with Germany's chancellor Olaf Scholz, then they're cordially invited to read what he says in private about an Old Continent populated by "freeloaders". If Signalgate's still not enough, then how about a sitting US vice president announcing an uninvited visit to Greenland? A "very aggressive" posture, says Denmark's prime minister. But what can Mette Frederiksen do when her country buys most of its military hardware from the US and hosts a US Air Force base in Greenland? The Danish leader is representing one of over 30 NATO countries present in Paris for a "coalition of the willing" summit on Ukraine. But those 32 nations do not include the United States.Co-hosts France and the UK know they can't deploy peacekeepers over the heads of a reluctant Trump administration.So what's the workaround? And with Washington now repeating what sounds like Kremlin talking points, how grave a danger is there not just for Ukraine, but for all of Europe? Is the EU overreacting when it advises its citizens to stockpile three days of food and essentials just in case?

C dans l'air l'invité du 26 février 2025 avec Hélène Miard-Delacroix, professeure d'histoire et de civilisation de l'Allemagne contemporaine à Sorbonne Université.Des résultats (presque) sans surprise. Les conservateurs de l'Union chrétienne-démocrate et de l'Union chrétienne-sociale (CDU/CSU) ont remporté les élections législatives allemandes, organisées dimanche 23 février, avec 28,6% des voix, selon les résultats définitifs. Derrière eux, l'Alternative pour l'Allemagne (AfD) devient la deuxième force politique du pays après avoir réalisé un score historique (20,8% des voix), du jamais-vu pour une formation d'extrême droite depuis l'après-guerre.L'extrême droite allemande réalise un score historiqueL'Alternative pour l'Allemagne (AfD) a, comme attendu, réalisé une percée historique pour un parti d'extrême droite depuis l'après-guerre. La formation a engrangé 20,8% des voix, soit le double de son score en 2021. "Nous avons atteint notre plus haut résultat historique, alors que notre parti n'a que douze ans. Nous sommes devenus un parti de masse", a lancé la cheffe de file de l'AfD, Alice Weidel, lors du débat télévisé post-électoral entre les dirigeants des partis entrés au Bundestag.Légèrement en dessous des 23% que lui promettaient les sondages, le parti est désormais la deuxième force politique du pays.

“In Germany after 1945 . . . it was always sort of an unwritten rule or law that the more radical these [right wing populist] parties become, the less votes they get, and at some point they just disappear. And what is troubling with the AfD is that the more radical they become, the more votes they get.” Following Germany's recent election results, the far-right party AfD, or Alternative for Germany, is now a more prominent force than ever, doubling its support. Director of AJC Berlin Lawrence and Lee Ramer Institute for German-Jewish Relations Remko Leemhuis breaks down the rise of AfD, the role of Christian Democrat's Friedrich Merz—widely expected to be Germany's next chancellor—and the challenges ahead for Germany's relationship with Israel and the United States. Leemhuis also discusses the dangers of political polarization and its consequences for the Jewish community in Germany. As the Christian Democrats form a coalition and Merz takes the lead, how will Germany navigate the rise of populism while strengthening its alliances on the global stage?

Public opinion surveys indicated that the far right party, AFD Alternative for Germany, was poised to play a larger political role than ever before.  The party also has attracted significant attention from US political leaders of late, including US Vice President JD Vance, who, in addition to visiting a Holocaust concentration camp during a recent trip to Europe, also met with Alice Weidel, the head of Germany's AFD party. Here to discuss the outcome of the election, its impact on Germany's relationship with Israel, and the German Jewish community is AJC Berlin director Remko Leemhuis. Remko, welcome to People of the Pod.  Remko Leemhuis:   Hello, and thanks for having me. Manya Brachear Pashman:   So if you could just brief our audience on who exactly AfD is- what their history is and their ideology? Remko Leemhuis:   So the party started out in 2013 and started out as a – I don't want to make it a joke, but they started out as a sort of party of professors who were in opposition to the European austerity policy during the financial crisis. Meaning, especially keeping Greece, who was in a deep financial crisis, and they advocated for expelling Greece, for example, from the European Union, because they were afraid that their debt will be then sort of distributed among all member states of the Europeans. So that was their starting point.  But that was also their only issue. And I remember that in 2015 they were around 3-4%. But then the party changed. We had, as many of your listeners know, the influx of over a million refugees from mostly Syria, and the party sort of reinvented itself. And from then on, migration policy, illegal migration, all of the issues connected to these issues were at the center. And from there, they rose, and again, radicalized ever since. And right now, the migration issue is their central issue on which they are campaigning.  And it doesn't matter what you ask. I've seen a lot of these debates that we have before elections with all the heads of the parties, and it is really astonishing how the party is always able to tie every single issue to migration, be it taxes, be it–you can come up with every issue. At the end, it's always about migration, illegal migration, and migrants. And that is something that is their central platform. Manya Brachear Pashman: Well the Trump administration also made illegal immigration central to its platform, but I think what AJC here in America found so alarming about Vance's meeting with Weidel, perhaps there was alarm there in Germany too, was the party's clear record of antisemitism and hostility to America. Weidel herself has called Germany a “slave state” to America and Germany's Holocaust remembrance culture a “guilt cult”. AJC pointed these things out after the vice president's meeting.   So did AfD do as well as expected, Remko? What are the election results so far?  Remko Leemhuis:   So we had the highest voter turnout since 1990. We were above 80%. 83-84% which is the highest turnout since 1990, so the elections after reunification.  The AfD was able to double their result. In the last general election that around 10%, now they came in with 20%. And just for comparison, the Social Democrats came in with 15, close to 16%. So this is something that should concern us very much.  The Christian Democratic Union, so the German conservative center right party won the election. Although not with that many votes as expected. So their aim was 30% plus X. They now have 28-29% but still they are the strongest party. And given German election tradition, the party with the most votes then forms the government and invites other parties to form a government. Manya Brachear Pashman:   And that means that Friedrich Merz is poised to be the next chancellor. Is that correct? Remko Leemhuis:   Yes, if he's able to form a government, yes. I mean, at this point, he still has to talk to one party, and this will be the Social Democrats, even though they lost almost 10% compared to previous elections. Together, they have a majority, and everything indicates that they will form the next government. Manya Brachear Pashman:   Is there a possibility that Alternative for Germany or AfD could be part of the coalition as well?  Remko Leemhuis:   No, that has been ruled out by Friedrich Merz, given that he was ahead on the polls for at least over a year, he has ruled this out on numerous occasions. He has ruled it out yesterday in interviews, so there's no chance that the AfD will be part of a federal government. Manya Brachear Pashman:   So is there any reason for concern, given the trajectory of this election, and given AfD's results in this election? They came in second, correct? Remko Leemhuis:   There's a lot of reason for concern, because  we can say, of course, this is a broader trend in Europe and in the Western world, that you have the rise of these right wing populist parties. But in Germany, after 1945, it's not the first time that we have right wing extremist parties in Parliament, state or federal, but it was always sort of an unwritten rule or law that the more radical these parties become, the less votes they get, and at some point they just disappear.  And what is troubling with the AfD is that the more radical they become, the more votes they get. And this is something that is pretty hard to grapple with, and where I very honestly, also don't have an answer why they are able to sort of break with this rule. But this is very, very troubling, especially in light of the fact, and that is something that is well known to the German public, that the German domestic security services are surveilling the AfD and classifying them as a case of suspected right wing extremism.  So the whole party and three regional branches of this party are officially confirmed by German domestic security as far right. So which means that they are in opposition to liberal democracy. And this is something that, again, is very, very concerning. Manya Brachear Pashman:   Of course, AfD did not win. The Christian Democratic Union won. Could that victory have any impact on the special relationship between Germany and Israel? This is, of course, the return of the party of Angela Merkel, correct? Remko Leemhuis:   First of all, we have to get credit for the outgoing government coalition, because since October 7, this coalition has been a reliable ally of Israel. Of course, there were issues where there were differences, but in general, the outgoing coalition has stood by Israel's side, which was also recognized by Israel. And it is not just a talking point for Israel diplomats when they say that Germany is Israel's second most important ally.  And they have done it despite the fact that they had a lot of pressure from their respective voter bases, especially the Greens and the Social Democrats. So this is something where we really have to credit these parties. Now, the Christian Democratic Union, as you have mentioned, is the party of Angela Merkel, and it's the party that and she came up with the term of the staatsräson (reason of state), and that Israel's security is essential to Germany's policy.  I think there are areas where the relationship will even improve. And just to give you one example, we are talking, today on Monday, the day after the election. And it's really astonishing. Freidrich Merz gave a press conference today, the first after the election yesterday. And really the first question was about his call that he had with the Israeli Prime Minister yesterday.  And he stated very clearly that he has invited the Israeli prime minister to Germany, and that he will find a way to make sure that the Israeli prime minister will be able to visit Germany without being arrested, given the ICC warrant, something that the outgoing coalition didn't say this clearly or said they will adhere to the ICC arrest warrant. So this is something that, from our perspective, is very positive.  And also, I think that the military cooperation and the defense cooperation between Israel and Germany will again, first of all, all of that will not be, again openly debated, but again in the formats where they belong. And so in general, I would say the relations will improve. But this will not mean that also this government or the next government will only say, and do what Israel wants. But I think in general, the trend and the relationship will be more positive and even improve. Manya Brachear Pashman:   So what about relations with the United States? As I mentioned before, Vice President Vance met with one of the AfD leaders. Do you foresee that relationship changing significantly? Remko Leemhuis:   Well, first of all, I have to say Freidrich Merz is very committed to the transatlantic relationship. But yesterday, again, in a post-election interview, he said something that I thought I would have never hear from him. But he said that, We in Europe maybe have to grapple with the fact that the US will not be the sort of ally that it was before, and that we in Europe have to think about a situation where the US will only be very little or not present at all in Europe. Especially when it comes to war in Ukraine and the support for Ukraine. So even though he is very committed to the transatlantic relationship, given the recent developments he looks much more concerned to Washington and what is happening and what is coming out of Washington. Manya Brachear Pashman:   In other words, he sees a bit of a destabilizing effect when it comes to transatlantic relations and security from the direction of the United States, not within Europe itself. Remko Leemhuis:   Yes, destabilizing is the right word. And that doesn't mean that he doesn't see the failures that Europe and Germany has made over the past years. And I think that's something we also, as AJC, try to highlight every time. That the Europeans, especially the Germans, for decades, haven't lived up to their commitments when it comes to defense spending. And 11 years ago now, after Russia annexed Ukraine and the NATO states agreed on the 2% goal, Germany hasn't met this. And a lot of other European countries that are member of NATO haven't met that 2% goal.  And the discussion about this goes even, you know, way back longer. I think it was even started with President George W. Bush, who always highlighted this issue and that the Germans, the Europeans, have to do more. And especially the Germans as the third-largest economy in the world and the biggest economy in Europe, has to shoulder more responsibility, which means they have to spend more. So he's very aware of the fact of all these shortcomings, and he's very willing to fix that and to spend more money on defense if the US cuts its spending here, if the US withdraws troops from the European continent.  And still being aware that even if you know, Europe does its best, we will not be able to fill these gaps, because we just don't have the resources or the infrastructure to do that. So we still need the US, no matter what. So he will need to find a line, sort of working with the US, and then looking at what can Europe do to become a bit more independent from the US in all of these questions. Manya Brachear Pashman:   So let's zoom in and talk about the impact of the rise of AFD on the German Jewish community. Has it given license to those who might otherwise keep antisemitic attitudes to themselves? Remko Leemhuis:   So in general, as I said at the beginning, nothing of this is a big surprise. The AfD in the polls over the past year or so, I would say, you know, fared around 20%. So the result yesterday wasn't a surprise, and it was also not a surprise because we have seen the AfD having even bigger successes in state elections. But of course, this is concerning.  This is concerning because the AfD is also a symbol of polarization, and polarization that we see across the western world, in all democracies at this point, I think, and historically speaking, times of polarization have never been good times for the Jewish community.  But I also have to say that the German Jewish community is also very aligned in how to deal with the AfD, and that means no Jewish organization speaks to the AfD. Every Jewish organization at some point in time has come out against the AfD.  We as AJC have had numerous publication on highlighting the threat to democracy, and by that also to the Jewish community, by the AfD. And the AfD so far, hasn't been successful in using Jews, or, you know, Israel, or pretending to be Israel's biggest friend and the Jewish community's biggest friends. No one, no one buys into that, and everyone can see through that, and everyone understands that this is performative at best. Manya Brachear Pashman:   Here in the United States, people of opposite political persuasions are honestly having a hard time facing each other. Those who voted for Kamala Harris, they see the speed with which Trump is enacting his campaign promises. They're having a hard time facing their neighbors who voted for him, or who had yard signs up for him. People are organizing boycotts of businesses and CEOs who are aligning themselves with Trump.  Is the same dynamic playing out on the ground in Berlin or Munich, for example. Do you see that kind of, as you said, the polarization. Does it play out on the very personal level? Can neighbors face each other? Remko Leemhuis:   Yes. I'm not sure if we see it to the extent that we see it in the US. But of course, we see that and that political questions, political issues, have become a dividing line among friends, among families, and that people stop talking to each other. And that is a very worrying trend, that this happens. I mean, of course, there is a line, where I would say it is legitimate to say, I'm not going to discuss these issues. And I personally, and we as AJC, don't talk to AFD. For the reasons we have talked about there's nothing for us to discuss with them. But yes, I have to say that, especially over the past weeks, we have seen even an increase in this polarization and in this lack of unity, at least in terms of, everyone agrees that it is okay to fight and to fight about the issues and to have even hard debates on issues. And this is part of democracy.  And I guess we Germans also have to learn that, more that democracy means debating things and having hard debates about issues. But the last weeks have seen that it then ventures into contempt and denigration, and if you are not having this position, then you're automatically on the other side, not even to be talked to. And that you don't often run into people that have an opposing view, because we all live in a bubble, and that, I guess, the only place where you encounter people with different opinions is social media. And I guess we can all agree that social media is, for sure, not the best place to debate controversial issues. We all have to come out of our bubbles, that we all have to you know, even if we have political differences with other people, still see that there's much more that aligns us with most of these people, and that if one person doesn't exactly hold the same view as you on any given policy, doesn't mean that it is an inherently bad person. But still, someone that isn't just inherently bad, but your neighbor, your co-worker. And I think that is the biggest challenge for all democratic societies in the West at this point. Manya Brachear Pashman:   Remko, thank you so very much for joining us and for explaining the outcome of this election and what it narrowly avoided. Remko Leemhuis:   Not narrowly but, one thing is clear, and I think that is that is much more what I'm thinking about is that certain issues aren't addressed in a way that people feel, you know, they are addressed and they are taken serious. I mean, we just have to look to our neighbor, Austria, where an openly right wing extremist party is now the strongest party. And we should do everything we can to avoid that scenario. But that means then even having difficult debates and making also difficult decisions.  But, if we want the center to hold, there is no alternative. And that's why our appeal as AJC is. And a lot of people find this lame or undecided, that we have appealed on numerous occasions, also in this campaign cycle, on all democratic parties to find solutions for the pressing issues and to find a middle ground. And this is what we will continue to do.  And also we'll try to continue to then bring together people from different parties to debate these issues and give, you know, these conversations a platform, and do what we can do in order to facilitate such discussions, and hopefully by that, have a healthier culture of debate and a healthier political culture. Manya Brachear Pashman:   Thank you so much, Remko.  Remko Leemhuis:   Thank you. Manya Brachear Pashman: If you missed last week's episode, be sure to tune in for the second installment of our two-part series on the faces behind antisemitism as part of AJC's State of Antisemitism in America 2024 Report. I ask two Jewish college students about the report's findings that nearly a third of Jewish students in the U.S. reported feeling uncomfortable or unsafe at a campus event because of their Jewish identity. Our guests shared their own experience.

Hugh talks to Berlin correspondent Derek Scally to find out about the weekend's Bundestag elections, described as the most significant in decades. The centre-right CDU will lead a new coalition, with far-right AfD becoming the main opposition party. Friedrich Merz, the CDU leader and incoming chancellor, faces huge challenges, not least addressing Germany's deepening economic and security concerns. AfD leader Alice Weidel insists the new coalition that is likely to emerge will not last. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Este domingo se celebraron elecciones federales en Alemania, unas elecciones anticipadas y muy esperadas ya que el país atraviesa una doble crisis, política y económica, que ha superado con mucho al todavía canciller Olaf Scholz. Estaban llamados a las urnas casi 60 millones de ciudadanos para elegir a los 630 miembros del Bundestag, todo en un contexto de graves tensiones sociales y un sistema electoral renovado. Estas elecciones, convocadas en diciembre tras el colapso de la coalición tripartita compuesta por socialdemócratas, verdes y liberales nos han permitido comprobar cuán fracturado está el país, especialmente en temas como el de la inmigración o las recetas para superar la crisis económica. Tras la disolución del conocido como Gobierno "semáforo" por el color de los tres partidos que lo componían, Scholz se sometió a una moción de confianza y la perdió obligando al presidente, Frank-Walter Steinmeier, a disolver el Bundestag y convocar elecciones cuanto antes. La campaña estuvo dominada por la incertidumbre. La economía alemana, golpeada por la pandemia, la guerra en Ucrania y la pérdida de competitividad de sus empresas, registró su segundo año consecutivo de recesión en 2024, mientras que el debate migratorio se ha intensificado tras incidentes como el atropello masivo en Múnich perpetrado hace unos días por un refugiado afgano. El sistema electoral alemán, que combina votos directos por circunscripción y proporcionales por partido, acaba de estrenar una reforma aprobada hace poco más de un año. Con el Bundestag reducido de 736 a 630 escaños, la mayoría absoluta se sitúa ahora en 316. La eliminación de escaños compensatorios y la reintroducción provisional de la cláusula del mandato básico (que permite a partidos con al menos tres escaños directos entrar al Parlamento aunque no alcancen el 5% de votos) han añadido complejidad al reparto de escaños. Los resultados preliminares apuntan a una victoria de la Unión Cristiano Demócrata, capitaneada por Friedrich Merz, con cerca del 29% de los votos. Este triunfo, aunque claro, no les otorga la mayoría absoluta, lo que obligará a negociar con otras formaciones. En segundo lugar se ha situado Alternativa por Alemania con Alice Weidel como candidata, que ha conseguido un histórico 20%, lo que significa que duplica sus votos respecto a las elecciones de 2021. AfD se consolida asó como la segunda fuerza política del país aunque por ahora aislada por un "cordón sanitario" que hace años crearon contra ellos los demás partidos. El SPD de Scholz, con un 16%, se ha desplomado y queda relegado al tercer puesto. Este es, de hecho, el peor resultado de su historia en unas elecciones federales. Los Verdes han obtenido un 13%, mientras que el FDP se ha quedado en el borde mismo del umbral del 5%. Los resultados son muy similares a los que arrojaban las encuestas desde hace meses. Lo que no estaba previsto era una participación tan alta, del 84%, la mayor desde la reunificación hace 35 años. Respecto al futuro Gobierno poco se sabe. Merz, favorito durante la campaña, ha descartado cualquier pacto con AfD y apunta a una "gran coalición" con el SPD, una fórmula que funcionó bajo Angela Merkel, pero no será sencillo ya que el SPD está muy debilitado y hay diferencias de peso en los programas de ambos partidos. Podría en esa coalición entrar un partido más que sirviese como pegamento o, y esto no hay que eliminarlo, podría Merz desdecirse y buscar la compañía de AfD para crear un gobierno fuerte escorado hacia la derecha. No es muy probable, pero no del todo imposible.

Quase 60 milhões de alemães vão às urnas no próximo domingo (23) para votar em eleições parlamentares. Inicialmente prevista para setembro, a votação foi antecipada após o colapso da coalização tripartidária que mantinha de pé o governo do chanceler Olaf Scholz. No país considerado a locomotiva da Europa, a crise política veio na esteira de três anos de estagnação econômica. Dois candidatos estão à frente nas pesquisas: Friedrich Merz, do bloco da centro-direita, e Alice Weidel, do partido de ultradireita. Em terceiro, aparece o próprio Olaf Scholz, da centro-esquerda, seguido do vice-chanceler Robert Habeck, dos Verdes. Weidel tem o apoio de ninguém menos do que o empresário Elon Musk, em uma eleição na qual EUA e Rússia parecem estar alinhados. "É um rearranjo de forçar políticas. A gente nunca ia imaginar que EUA e a Rússia estariam do mesmo lado numa eleição democrática na Alemanha", avalia Maurício Moura em conversa com Julia Duailibi neste episódio. Direto da capital Berlim, onde atua como observador da eleição alemã, Maurício explica como o partido de ultradireita cresce nas pesquisas, com discursos anti-imigração, descontentamento com o preço da energia e desgastes da indústria alemã. Professor da Universidade George Washington (EUA), ele analisa ainda os principais temas da campanha: imigração, economia, e a relação da Alemanha com EUA e China.

C dans l'air du 21 février 2025 - Allemagne : un nouveau chancelier... Face à TrumpJ-2 avant les élections. Les Allemands sont appelés aux urnes ce dimanche pour élire leurs 630 représentants au Bundestag lors des élections législatives anticipées. Le Parti social-démocrate (SPD) du chancelier sortant Olaf Scholz s'achemine vers une débâcle, crédité de seulement 15 % des intentions de vote. Face à lui, les conservateurs de la CDU-CSU font largement la course en tête. Sûrs de leur victoire, ils sont donnés à 30% dans les sondages. Leur chef de file, Friedrich Merz, ancien rival d'Angela Merkel, appelle les Allemands à lui donner un mandat fort. Objectif : un score sans appel pour imposer leur ligne dure sur l'immigration. Car derrière les conservateurs, l'extrême droite d'Alternative pour l'Allemagne (AfD) est en embuscade. Le parti emmené par Alice Weidel est en pleine ascension. Il compte 20% d'intentions de vote, soit le double de son score obtenu quatre ans plus tôt seulement. Et il est désormais soutenu par l'entourage du président américain, Donald Trump. Depuis décembre, le milliardaire Elon Musk s'implique personnellement dans la campagne. L'homme le plus riche du monde multiplie les appels à voter pour le parti d'Alice Weidel, à base de messages sur son réseau social X, de tribunes dans la presse et de déclarations polémiques. Le vice-président américain J. D. Vance lui-même a lancé un appel implicite en faveur du parti. Lors de son intervention à la Conférence sur la sécurité à Munich, il a en effet enjoint les dirigeants européens à travailler avec l'extrême droite.Mais le très probable futur chancelier Friedrich Merz a, à plusieurs reprises, exclu tout scénario de coalition avec l'AfD après les élections, au nom de la doctrine du cordon sanitaire qui prévaut en Allemagne depuis l'après-guerre.Quelque soit le résultat du scrutin, la montée de l'AfD en sera très probablement l'un des faits marquants. Le parti d'extrême droite promet notamment la "fermeture des frontières" et l'expulsion de milliers d'immigrés.Un programme qui inquiète fortement les entreprises outre-Rhin. Celles-ci sont confrontées à un problème majeur : le vieillissement de la population. Le déclin démographique allemand entraine une pénurie de main-d'œuvre, qui constitue le plus grand défi du pays, selon le ministre de l'Economie Robert Habeck. Or, ce manque est aujourd'hui largement compensé par l'immigration de travail. Pas moins de 14 millions d'étrangers travaillent aujourd'hui en Allemagne. Mais malgré cela, les entreprises peinent à recruter. Dans une profession sur six, il y a une pénurie de travailleurs qualifiés. Selon l'IAB, l'institut de recherche pour le travail et l'emploi, 2 millions de postes sont vacants, un record absolu dans l'histoire du pays.L'agence pour l'emploi estime à 400 000 arrivées par an le besoin d'immigration. Certaines entreprises se mobilisent et sont ainsi entrées en campagne contre l'AfD, qui menace, selon elles, l'économie du pays.L'économie est déjà dégradée, après deux ans de récession. Un secteur symbolise les difficultés actuelles de l'Allemagne : l'industrie, qui pèse près d'un quart du PIB. C'est notamment l'avenir de l'automobile, secteur numéro un du pays, qui inquiète. Il se heurte aujourd'hui au risque de délocalisations massives.En quelques années, les dirigeants des groupes automobiles allemands se sont en effet retrouvés brutalement concurrencés par les géants des logiciels, côté américain, et par les spécialistes des batteries, côté asiatique. Ils n'étaient pas préparés. Le constructeur Volkswagen va ainsi supprimer 35 000 emplois d'ici à 2030 outre-Rhin, soit près d'un tiers de ses effectifs. Son concurrent Mercedes-Benz a vu ses bénéfices fondre l'an passé et s'attend à une année 2025 également difficile. De son côté, l'équipementier pneumatique Continental a annoncé le 30 janvier dernier la fermeture de cinq usines en Allemagne, avec 580 nouveaux emplois menacés, en raison de la faiblesse du secteur.Quel sera le verdict des urnes en Allemagne ?Le programme de l'AfD s'oppose-t-il aux intérêts de l'industrie allemande ?Le secteur automobile allemand peut-il remonter la pente ?Les experts :- ANTHONY BELLANGER - Éditorialiste - France Info TV - Spécialiste des questions internationales- RICHARD WERLY - Journaliste - Correspondant à Paris du média suisse Blick.ch- BERTRAND GALLICHER - Grand reporter – Ancien correspondant à Berlin- GERALDINE SCHWARZ - Journaliste Franco-Allemande - Auteure de « D'où nous venons, ce qui nous unit, ce qui nous divise »

Un partido fundado en 2013 podría ser la segunda fuerza más votada en las elecciones que celebra Alemania el domingo 23 de febrero. Alternativa para Alemania (AfD) una fuerza de extrema derecha, tiene votantes tan diversos como su candidata: Alice Weidel que a pesar de representar a un partido pro familia tradicional y antinmigración está casa con una mujer de familia nacida en Sri Lanka.

Sunday's crunch elections in Germany are coming at perhaps the most pivotal moment since the fall of the Berlin Wall. Back then, it was about making a success of reunification. Now comes a reckoning over the German model that ensued. Under threat is the kind of global free trade that powers Germany's export-driven economy. Instead we're seeing Donald Trump's tariffs, a Russian aggression that's inching closer in not-so-far-off Ukraine and an ageing population that needs to replenish its workforce, but doesn't want more migrants. Seizing on the mood of a nation in recession is the far-right AfD, which polls suggest could finish second behind the Christian Democrats. With the US vice president last Friday passing up a chance to meet the incumbent centre-left chancellor Olaf Scholz, instead seeing AfD leader Alice Weidel on the sidelines of the Munich Security Conference, voters are wondering if the usual warnings of foreign election meddling concern this time the United States more than usual suspect Russia.The pressure is on in a nation where lead candidates know they that can't bash their rivals too hard. After all, they know that come Monday morning when the ballots are counted, they might have to call them for coalition-building. Could this election be different? If so, how?Produced by Rebecca Gnignati, Elisa Amiri, Ilayda Habip.Watch moreA model in crisis: Germans head to polls amid economic downturn

El viernes pasado el vicepresidente de Estados Unidos, JD Vance, puso patas arriba la Conferencia de Seguridad de Múnich, una conferencia que ya había comenzado agitada tras revelar Donald Trump dos días antes su conversación telefónica con Vladimir Putin. Vance subió al estrado y pronunció un discurso muy duro en el que expuso de manera cruda no sólo la nueva política exterior estadounidense respecto a Europa, sino algunos de los problemas internos que, a su juicio, tienen los países europeos. La audiencia se quedó estupefacta ya que no esperaban un ataque tan directo y en público desde la misma Casa Blanca. En su discurso Vance evitó a propósito hablar de la guerra de Ucrania (que era lo que todos esperaban), tampoco se detuvo en las garantías de seguridad para el continente. Se centró en lo que describió como una amenaza interna que no proviene ni de Rusia ni China, sino de sus propios Gobiernos. Criticó la erosión de la libertad de expresión en Europa y los intentos de los Estados europeos de suprimir ciertas opiniones, particularmente las de derecha identitaria. Junto a eso denunció la ola migratoria, y cómo los Gobiernos europeos estaban fallando a sus ciudadanos permitiendo que entren millones de inmigrantes de forma ilegal. Una vez recuperados del shock, las reacciones no se hicieron esperar. En Alemania, donde se celebraba la conferencia, el discurso fue recibido con indignación por parte de casi todos los partidos políticos. Alemania se encuentra en plena campaña electoral y los ánimos están muy sensibles. El ministro de Defensa alemán, Boris Pistorius, calificó las declaraciones de Vance como “inaceptables”. Para él cuestionar la democracia europea en esos términos es ofensivo y está fuera de lugar. En Bruselas también sentaron mal las palabras de Vance. Kaja Kallas, la alta representante de la Unión para Asuntos Exteriores, dijo que el discurso pretendía provocar una pelea con los aliados europeos en un momento en el que la unidad es más importante que nunca. A quien si gustó, y mucho, fue a esos partidos de derecha identitaria a los que Vance defendió. La presidenta de Alternativa por Alemania, Alice Weidel, elogió las palabras de Vance. Se apresuró en compartir por las redes sociales su apoyo a la crítica de Vance sobre la falta de libertad de expresión y las políticas migratorias. Lo mismo sucedió con otros partidos de derecha identitaria que en toda Europa atraviesan un momento dulce en expectativa de voto. Con idea dar una respuesta común, Emmanuel Macron convocó una reunión urgente de líderes europeos en París este lunes. Esta cumbre, informal e improvisada, se celebró en el Palacio del Elíseo y reunió a los jefes de Gobierno de Alemania, Italia, España, Polonia, Dinamarca, los Países Bajos, el Reino Unido y la presidenta de la Comisión Europea. La agenda tenía un solo punto: discutir sobre el papel de Europa en las negociaciones de paz sobre Ucrania y fijar una postura única. Junto a eso debatieron formas de incrementar la autonomía europea en materia de defensa, y una propuesta de despliegue de una fuerza de paz europea en Ucrania una vez se haya alcanzado un armisticio. Esto permitiría a las potencias europeas a sentarse en la mesa de negociaciones. Pero todo se quedó en mera palabrería porque lo único cierto es que Europa está tan dividida como de costumbre. No se ponen de acuerdo ni en lo que tienen que aumentar el presupuesto de defensa, ni en cómo responder a Estados Unidos, ni en si deben enviar tropas a Ucrania. Franceses y británicos son partidarios, el resto reticentes.

Considerada como la principal potencia económica de la Unión Europea y la cuarta del mundo, Alemania enfrenta elecciones anticipadas el próximo domingo tras el terremoto político que en noviembre pasado desmoronó la alianza gubernamental al frente de la cual está el Canciller Olaf Scholz desde el 2021. Sí, incluso las democracias más solventes, viven hoy tiempos convulsos. Y los alemanes, proclives como los que más a las certidumbres. No solo se enfrentan al colapso de la triple coalición de gobierno, sino que asisten (como otras democracias europeas y americanas) a la emergencia inusitada de la ultraderecha (AfD) que ya desde las elecciones regionales del año pasado hicieron sentir su fuerza, alterando el panorama político. Y eso, justamente en Alemania, por su peso histórico, no es un asunto para nada menor, sino todo lo contrario. A solo cinco días de celebrarse los comicios las encuestas colocan en primer lugar a Friedrich Merz, de la Democracia Cristiana (el partido de la otrora poderosa Angela Merkel). Diez puntos abajo, con 21% justamente la ultraderecha radical, encabezada por Alice Weidel de Alternativa por Alemania (AfD). Relegado al tercer puesto, el canciller Scholz, de los socialdemócratas. El proceso electoral tiene al país inmerso en la polarización y la desconfianza por temas tan sensibles como los reclamos por una situación económica en declive, el alto costo de la vida y los discursos incendiarios contra la inmigración, entre otros temas. El resultado definirá la dirección de la política económica, social y ambiental y la atención urgente de la crisis energética a lo interno, y a lo externo como un actor clave global para sortear la animadversión de Donald Trump por la Unión Europea, las amenazas contra la OTAN y las implicaciones de la posible solución de la guerra rusa ucraniana. Todo esto aderezado por la clarísima intromisión del gobierno de Estados Unidos en el proceso, tanto que apenas la semana pasada el Vicepresidente JD Vance fue a la conferencia de seguridad europea en Múnich a dar cátedra sobre libertad de expresión y, como no, a deslizar su respaldo a la ultraderecha. La conformación de un nuevo gobierno de coalición dependerá de las negociaciones y acuerdos de los partidos que lleguen al parlamento federal, aunque los expertos dan por descontado que el "cerco sanitario" frenará a la extrema derecha. Para entender las claves de este momento histórico en esa nación y sus implicaciones, conversaremos mañana con el politólogo Steffan Gómez. Miércoles a las 8 a.m. por la 98.7 FM de Radio Columbia.

Today's Headlines: Vice President JD Vance delivered a speech at the Munich Security Conference accusing European leaders of abandoning their core values and meeting with far-right leader Alice Weidel while ignoring Germany's chancellor. Meanwhile, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth stated Ukraine's NATO membership is off the table, as U.S. officials travel to Saudi Arabia for peace talks that excluded Ukraine and Europe. In response, European leaders, led by France's Macron, convened an emergency summit. Russian state media celebrated the fracturing of Western alliances. The White House banned the Associated Press over a naming dispute, and the DOJ dropped corruption charges against NYC Mayor Eric Adams after mass resignations of prosecutors. Elon Musk, fresh from a meeting with India's PM Modi, announced plans for a Dubai tunnel system, oversaw IRS layoffs, and faced a cybersecurity breach of the DOGE website. National Nuclear Security let go key employees responsible for nuclear safety, coinciding with a Russian strike on Chernobyl. RFK Jr. launched a commission on childhood health, but Texas faces a growing measles outbreak linked to low vaccination rates. A hostage exchange between Israel and Hamas saw mixed outcomes, with Trump signaling U.S. support for any Israeli retaliation. Lastly, a new bill aims to designate Trump's birthday as a federal holiday.

Dentro de semana y media los alemanes están llamados a la urnas para decidir quien ocupará la cancillería los próximos cuatro años. A pesar de que es muy impopular, el socialdemócrata Olaf Scholz volverá a presentarse, pero, según todas las encuestas de intención de voto, se queda muy atrás de su principal adversario, Friedrich Merz, de la CDU. Merz se ve ya en el poder, pero difícilmente conseguirá la mayoría absoluta en la cámara baja, que es de 316 escaños. Los sondeos le adjudican unos 220, lo que le obligará a pactar con otro partido. Dado que estamos hablando de Alemania podría ser casi cualquiera. En aquel país no hacen ascos a las coaliciones a la hora de llegar al Gobierno, pero existe la posibilidad de que Merz decida explorar a su derecha buscando el apoyo de Alice Weidel, líder de Alternativa por Alemania que, si se cumple lo anunciado por los sondeos, se convertirá en segunda fuerza política. Los últimos movimientos de Merz llevan a pensar que podría decantarse por la derecha identitaria o, por el contrario, que está tratando de segarle la hierba bajo sus pies. Durante meses, la CDU, la mayor fuerza de oposición en Alemania desde 2021, pensaba centrar las elecciones del 23 de febrero en la crisis económica que atraviesa el país. Pero el curso de la campaña cambió de golpe a finales de enero cuando Merz, en respuesta a un asesinato en la localidad bávara de Aschaffenburg, propuso restringir la inmigración y el asilo. Su partido junto Alternativa por Alemania aprobó una resolución no vinculante pidiendo un control estricto de las fronteras y que se recluya a quienes han pedido refugio. Este hecho, aparentemente sin importancia, es algo significativo porque es la primera colaboración directa entre la CDU y Alternativa por Alemania. Esta decisión de Merz podría ser un riesgo calculado o o suponer un coste para su partido ya que tácticas similares han perjudicado a otros partidos de centroderecha en Europa. Merz, bien conocido por su impulsividad, ha dado un giro sustancial a su política migratoria. Consciente de que mueve una cantidad notable de voto, se ha alejado de la cautela y de la búsqueda de consensos con la izquierda que en este campo caracterizó a sus predecesores como Angela Merkel o Armin Laschet. El SPD y los Verdes, que se oponen a estas medidas, han denunciado este acuerdo como el fin del “cordón sanitario" que todos los partidos alemanes levantaron contra Alternativa por Alemania tras su irrupción hace más de una década. Pero muchas cosas han cambiado desde entonces. La inmigración está más que nunca en el centro del debate, y los cristianodemócratas quieren asegurarse una victoria lo suficientemente sólida como para poner condiciones en las negociaciones para formar Gobierno que sucedan a las elecciones. En Alternativa por Alemania se muestran optimistas, pero sólo hasta cierto punto. Que Merz reoriente las prioridades de su campaña podría costarle escaños, pero contemplan satisfechos como una CDU escorada hacia sus postulados podría acercarles al Gobierno. Merz sigue siendo el favorito, pero si se acerca a los identitarios es posible que nadie más quiera llegar a un acuerdo con él. Eso sólo le dejaría un aliado en el Bundestag, un aliado que parece tener las cosas muy claras en materia migratoria. En unos días saldremos de dudas, de lo que podemos estar seguros es que mucho se juega en unas elecciones que redibujarán por completo el mapa político de Alemania.

1/2: #EU: GERMAN ELECTION AND THE RISING ALICE WEIDEL AND THE AFD 1838

: 2/2#EU: GERMAN ELECTION AND THE RISING ALICE WEIDEL AND THE AFD 1794

Was kann man in diesen Tagen von Alice Weidel lernen? Inhaltlich nichts, das ist klar, aber das reicht Schmitti nicht, damit ist er nicht zufrieden. Er gibt nicht auf und entdeckt einen Powermove, der sein Leben zukünftig einfacher machen wird. Schwerer machen es Klaas dagegen jene Menschen die „Weinchen“‚sagen. Wohlstands verwahrloste, saturierte Prenzlauerberger werden nun einwerfen: „Na nu was ist denn daran falsch?“ Und genau da haben wir den Salat! Es geht also darum im Schlechten das Gute zu sehen, aber bei der Formulierung „Weinchen“ hörts eben auf. Im schlecht gewordenen das Gute zu sehen, das hat dem jungen Heufer einst seine Mutter beigebracht. Nämlich wenn es darum ging komplett verschimmelten Joghurt zu essen frei nach dem Eltern-Motto: „Mindesthaltbarkeit ist nur eine Empfehlung!!!“ Das führt zu einer pelzigen Zunge und gleichzeitig zu fachkundigen Antworten auf die Frage, ob man immer alles aufessen und trinken sollte. Warum Micky Beisenherz gerne Oliver Polak in seinem eigenen Podcast sitzen lässt und warum er mit dem sitzen lassen auch vor dem Bundeskanzler nicht halt macht, das kann man so lange in der Folge hören, bis Micky per einstweiliger Verfügung die Löschung der pikanten Stellen verlangt. Also schnell hören, bevor es (rechtlich) nicht mehr geht! Baywatch Berlin - neue Folge: Weinchen für die Beispielboomer Du möchtest mehr über unsere Werbepartner erfahren?
