"The patience of the people won't last much more" Guttenberg: Union might join forces with AfD by 2029
Potential EU-AfD Collaboration Possible in 2029
Former Federal Minister of Defense and Chancellor hopeful, Karl-Theodor zu Guttenberg, has raised eyebrows by considering a potential alliance between the Union and AfD in the next federal election - if the new government falls short of rebuilding public trust. In an intriguing interview with Spiegel, Guttenberg warned that the AfD could secure up to 35% of the votes in 2029 if the new government struggles.
According to Guttenberg, Europe is grappling with a "monster of tasks", and reforms are essential for success. He believes that the upcoming two years are vital, as they will determine the course of Europe. While he doesn't expect Macron to stay in power beyond two years, he predicts a dramatic shift in the European landscape afterwards.
Guttenberg emphasized that critical decisions will be made concerning issues that matter greatly to people in the coming years, and he is skeptical that the patience of the public can withstand the next two years. Moreover, he advocates giving a stage to the AfD, although he warns of the need to confront party members assertively and avoid succumbing to cowardice.
Criticizing the media's approach to the AfD, Guttenberg notes that sometimes the media abstain from engaging with the party, ascribing this to their reluctance to prepare counterarguments against the often absurd theses presented by the AfD, which he labels as a right-wing extremist group.
While specifics about a potential cooperation strategy with the AfD remain elusive, Guttenberg's remarks have stirred controversy and fueled speculations about the future of German politics.
