When incoming German Chancellor Friedrich Merz first ran to be party chairman he pledged to cut the AfD's support in half. Seven years later he has doubled it instead, says Eugyppius.
German journalist David Bendels has been sentenced to seven months' probation for a meme poking fun at the Interior Minister's lack of commitment to free speech. Irony is truly dead, murdered by 'liberal' authoritarianism.
The removal of Marine Le Pen, France's leading opposition politician, confirms a global anti-democratic trend of banning the Right, says Eugyppius. What she was convicted of was nothing unusual in the European Parliament.
Germany has boarded an express train to green socialist purgatory. There is no other way to describe it, says Eugyppius. The problem is that the AfD firewall drives 'acceptable' politics ever further to the Left.
The German political establishment has responded to Donald Trump with an idiotic constitutionally-anchored pledge to deindustrialise in the next 20 years. Could Friedrich Merz be more inept, laments Eugyppius.
Suddenly EU leaders have gone into hysterical meltdown over the United States threatening to withdraw security guarantees. Trouble is, says Eugyppius, Eurotards know nothing about how to create a modern army.
Germany's 'firewall' against the AfD is set to saddle voters with the same pro-migration Leftoid Government they're desperate to get rid of. When will the Right realise the Left has them over a barrel, asks Eugyppius.
"There is no security if you are afraid of the voices, the opinions and the conscience that guide your very own people. If you’re running in fear of your own voters, there is nothing America can do for you." — JD Vance
Rejected Islamist asylum seeker Farhad Noori has run down 28 people at a trade union demonstration in Munich. It takes the nine-month toll from such terror attacks in Germany to 12 dead and 343 wounded.
The breach of the anti-AfD firewall has exploded German politics as mass protests erupt and every party rules out ruling with everybody else. If a Government is to emerge something will have to give, says Eugyppius.
The firewall around Alternative für Deutschland has begun to crack, as a desperate CDU says it is open to support from the pariah Right-wing party in passing mass migration measures.
An illegal Afghan migrant has killed two and wounded three in the latest knife violence to afflict open-borders Germany. In response, Leftist organisations will light candles to demonstrate "solidarity and cohesion".
