In an intriguing interview, ex-Chancellor hopeful Karl-Theodor zu Guttenberg opens up about the feasibility of a union between the CDU/CSU (Union) and the AfD post the next federal election. He anticipates daunting challenges for the incoming administration and believes the next two years will be pivotal.
According to Guttenberg's conversation with the "Spiegel," if the new government doesn't regain the public's trust, the AfD might secure up to 35% of the votes in 2029. He emphasizes that Germany faces a mammoth task list to conquer and that Europe needs to be reformed within this timespan to achieve success. He adds, "This won't be possible without the backing of the second or third largest European power, France. Macron won't last for two more years. We might then perceive a completely new European landscape."
In the two-year window, some influential questions will be resolved on a European scale, according to Guttenberg, who believes that the populace's patience will not endure beyond this timeline. "I believe that people's patience will soon run thin."
Guttenberg advocates for the inclusion of the AfD in public discourse, suggesting that providing them a platform is essential, but one must confront their members with resolute opposition to avoid succumbing to premature timidity.
The AfD report by the Federal Office for the Protection of the Constitution was also evaluated by the "Spiegel" in conjunction with the interview, but no specific details related to a potential collaboration between the Union and the AfD post 2029 could be found.
