Chat it up: Karl-Theodor zu Guttenberg, former Chancellor hopeful, hints at a potential collaboration between the Union and AfD post the next federal election. He foreses immense challenges for the upcoming government. The next two years are critical as Europe needs reforming.

The controversial interview with Karl-Theodor zu Guttenberg sends shockwaves: He implies a possible Union-AfD alliance after the next federal election. If the new government fails to earn public trust, the AfD could soar to a record 35% of votes by 2029, warns the former Defense Minister in a candid convo with "Spiegel". He doesn't discount the possibility of the new government's failure. The stakes are high. Germany is grappling with a mountainous to-do list. The coming two years are vital. During this time, Europe must restructure. "This can only succeed if the second or third strongest European power is on board. That's France. Macron's reign may be short-lived in two years. We could then witness a complete metamorphosis of the European scene," Guttenberg explains.

Political Ticker "Spiegel" unveils 1,108 pages "That's What the Office for the Protection of the Constitution has on the AfD report" And eventually, several issues swaying the public will be settled over Europe. "And I strongly believe that public patience won't last more than two years." Guttenberg also advocates engaging the AfD in public discussions. He argues for providing them a platform, insisting that one should confront them resolutely and never succumb to "premature cowardice".

Karl-Theodor zu Guttenberg, once regarded as a Chancellor candidate, criticizes the media for their handling of the AfD. He observes that sometimes, the media prefer avoiding the AfD rather than engaging in a debate. Instead, it is essential to prepare to refute the often absurd assertions of this right-wing extremist group.
