    Just a warning: Euronews was taken over by Victor Orban, so you might want to skip what Victor Orban has to say about the AfD and german right-wing idiots in eastern germany.

    Ammon says that if the centre-left SPD and centre-right CDU, who are in the process of discussing forming a coalition, manage to put policies in place to solve Germany’s economic crisis, “the AfD, with the rest of their policies, won’t really appeal to the voters who supported them this time.”

    This is horse shit. Not only do far-right parties appeal as much to feelings of inferiority as they appeal to real hardship, the CxU-SPD coalition won’t likely do much to improve anyone’s life either. Before the US election, the US economy was doing very well, but the average people were doing a bit worse. However, Trump’s propaganda worked extremely well.
