The next German advisor warned that Europe is no longer able to rely on the United States to defend it unconditionally, on the eve of the elections in which the far -right country party is scheduled to record the best result in its history.
Friedrich Mirz, the leader of the Christian Democratic Union in the center, which opinion polls say on Friday, on Friday, suggested that Berlin instead seeks more security assurances from the United Kingdom and France, and the nuclear weapons states in Western Europe.
He made his comments expressing his doubts that the United States during the era of President Donald Trump will fully accept the obligations of the NATO treaty, which is the cornerstone of the Atlantic alliance.
When asked whether he was “betting on everything”, the American president is committed to adhering to the Fifth NATO article for mutual defense, Mirz said: “We must be ready for the fact that Donald Trump will not completely accept the promise of assistance under the NATO
The European right leader called on the European to “exert every effort as possible at the defense of the. also “.
Explicit notes emphasize deep interest in European capitals about Washington’s struggling commitment to the continent’s security in a week when the United States moved to healing relations with Russia and blamed Ukraine for the conquest of the Kremlin 2022.
On Friday, the Ministry of Interior in Germany warned of the Russian misinformation process to influence the election campaign with fake videos spreading on social media in Hamburg and Lebzig.
The security agencies in Leipzig and Hamburg have identified multiple false social media sites as part of the network, enhancing concerns about Russian interference in democratic operations.
Mirz’s comments also come at a time when opinion polls indicate that the extreme right -wing alternative to the Germany Party is preparing to secure the fifth vote, and doubles its degrees in the last competition.
The AFD was faced against the background of a campaign dominated by a bitter political debate about migration after a series of deadly attacks by foreign citizens.
On Friday night, the police said that a man was seriously injured after he was stabbed in the monument of the Holocaust in Berlin. They said that the chase was ongoing to the attacker.
The main German politicians felt terrified last week when US Vice President JD Vance hints that unless the political current in Europe cooperates with extremist right -wing parties, “There is nothing that America can do for you.”
Vance later met with the leader of the co -commander of AFD Alice Widel, but not Olaf Schulz, the country’s center adviser, at the Munich Security Conference.
Green candidate Robert Habik, outgoing Minister of Economy, photographed the elections and the government that will lead to it, although the last opportunity for Germany to stop the extremist right. On Friday, he said: “If we do not solve the problems in the next four years, the right -wing populism will not be not stopped.”
On Friday, the Forsa poll set up 29 percent, 21 percent, and the SChons SPD by 15 percent – heading to its worst defeat since 1887.
Mirz’s mission of forming a government will become more difficult through a strong performance by AFD, which he pledged not to partner with.
It would be more than a challenge if you make small parties like liberals, Link dies the left, and a new party led by the left Sahra Wagenknecht more than 5 percent of the electoral threshold in Germany, which led to more parliament.
In reference to AFD’s increasing confidence, Weidel has published a Friday group of high -level international support that the party recently won. The video included Vans, Eileon Musk, the richest man in the world and the Hungarian Prime Minister, Victor Urban, and Herbert Kekel, leader of the right -wing Freedom Party.
In contrast, the party, which has once rejected the Nazi period as a “piece of shit from birds” in the great plan that lasted 1000 years of German history, had previously avoided even by right -wing politicians such as Marine Le Pen in France .
The AFD, which is fueled by the growing anxiety of immigration, as well as deep discontent with the Schulz government, would indicate a sharp swing to the right in the largest economy in the eurozone, which was fighting with the high energy prices and competition from the cheapest Chinese manufacturers.
“The markets and electoral elections polls are deceptive in the elections.
On Friday, Mirz, 69, who left politics for a decade after losing the power struggle against the party’s competitor Angela Merkel, stressed the size of the economic challenge. “The most important bet on the future is that we are busy with the growth of this economy again,” said former German President Black Rock.
Mirz also expressed his concern this week that while the United States hopes “it remains democracy and does not slip into an authoritarian popular system. America may enter a longer period of instability and that this popularity, this tyranny behavior of the heads of state, will continue.”
