"Time's Up" Guttenberg: Unions Could Band with AfD by 2029
Potential European Union collaboration with AfD foreseen in the year 2029
In an intriguing interview, former Chancellor hopeful Karl-Theodor zu Guttenberg contemplates a potential alliance between the Unions and the AfD following the next federal election. He cautions that the incoming government faces formidable hurdles, and the next two years are pivotal.
According to Guttenberg, who spoke with the "Mirror", failure for the new government to regain public trust could result in the AfD capturing as much as 35% of the votes in 2029. The former Defense Minister expresses that such an outcome is not inconceivable, due to the multitude of tasks Germany currently faces.
Guttenberg emphatically believes that Europe needs a drastic overhaul within the next two years. For this transformation to occur, he argues that France, as the second or third largest European power, is vital in the process. He predicts that French President Macron will have exited the political stage within two years, potentially leading to a reshaping of Europe.
The interconnected issues that affect people will be resolved in the European context, Guttenberg asserts. He maintains that the patience of the public will not persist indefinitely.
Guttenberg, a critic of the media's approach towards the AfD, believes that excluding this party from public discussions is unwise. He advocates providing them a platform, albeit one on which they could be firmly challenged.
Guttenberg criticizes the media for sometimes abstaining from inviting the AfD to discussions, making life easier for themselves. Instead, he urges being prepared to counter the party's often bizarre ideologies, resulting from their right-wing extremist ideology.
Based on public information available, Guttenberg has historically held conservative policies, aligned with mainstream views. The Union parties have consistently maintained a "no cooperation" policy with the AfD, a right-wing populist party. However, no explicit endorsement of future cooperation with the AfD has been made by Guttenberg or other senior Union figures.
