"Patience ain't got long left" Guttenberg: Union could team up with AfD by 2029
Potential Collaboration Between EU and AfD Foreseen in 2029
In a hot-topic interview, Karl-Theodor zu Guttenberg gives a sneak peek of a potential collaboration between the Union and the AfD following the next federal election. He stresses that the new government will be faced with tremendous issues, and the upcoming two years are vital.
Speaking candidly to "Der Spiegel," the former Federal Minister of Defense raises the possibility that the Union could cooperate with the AfD in 2029. If the new government can't rebuild public trust, the AfD could attract up to 35% of the votes in 2029, warns Guttenberg. He doesn't dismiss the possibility that the new government might struggle to meet this challenge. With Germany grappling with a daunting list of tasks, the pressure is immense. Over the next two years, Europe needs reforming. According to Guttenberg, successful reform can only be achieved if France, the second or third largest European power, is on our side. He predicts that Macron will be history in two years, and a completely different Europe could be on the horizon.
Some key questions affecting people will be determined over Europe, and Guttenberg believes the public's patience won't last for more than two years. He also criticizes the way the media engages with the AfD. Sometimes, he says, the media make it easy on themselves by not even inviting the AfD to the discussion. He urges being prepared to rebut the often ludicrous arguments advanced by right-wing extremist groups.
