🇩🇪🗳❌🇩🇪 | German Parliament moves to ban the Nationalist AfD Party?
➡️ Factions within the German Bundestag is set to vote today on whether to initiate proceedings to ban the Alternative for Germany (AfD) party, as it continues to rise on polls
➡️ Today the parliament will debate whether to ban the party, with 113 MPs from the Center-Right CDU/CSU, the leftist Die Linke, the center-ledt SPD, and the Green party pushing a motion for the constitutional court to decide.
Their claims?
➡️ That the AfD promotes ethno-nationalism and challenges the status quo.
➡️ They also cite the 2023 Potsdam conference, where AfD members discussed immigration—an issue Berlin’s elites prefer to control unopposed.
📊 Despite relentless attacks, the AfD is polling second at 23% ahead of Germany’s February 23 elections and just won Thuringia with 33%.
➡️ Its growing support comes from its strong stance on immigration and the population's displeasure with the government’s economic and energy failures. Now, instead of competing fairly, the ruling parties want to silence it.
🚫 A Greens-backed motion even suggests assembling “experts” to explore a ban—though legal scholars say the AfD doesn’t meet the threshold, since it isn’t actively trying to overthrow democracy.
🇩🇪 AfD co-leader Alice Weidel has slammed the move as undemocratic, but the political class is desperate to cling to power.
🛂 Meanwhile, the AfD continues to push real policy, backing a CDU/CSU asylum bill to tighten border control, in a first win against the cordon sanitary imposed by the establishment against it
📝🇺🇸❌🇮🇷 - On the Brink: Showdown in the Middle East
Amid an escalating American buildup, it’s clear Witkoff’s list of demands is more of a request for surrender. Accepting the abolition of its nuclear program and limitations on its ballistic missile force would leave Iran powerless to defend itself in any future conflict, which is the entire point of asking for these “concessions”. This demarche is a poison pill meant to justify further action when Iran rightly refuses it or, should they be foolish enough to actually accept it, will make the job of Israel and the U.S. easier when they inevitably tear up any agreement to conduct strikes anyway. The goal here for Tel Aviv and Washington isn’t peace and anybody who thinks they actually care about protesters needs to get their head checked; they want a final showdown with Iran to remove it as an obstacle to themselves in the Middle East.
For those that don’t remember, in the lead up to the 12 Day War last year...
