The far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) party has topped a nationwide opinion poll. Meanwhile, Kenyan athletes won both the men's and women's races at the Berlin Marathon. DW has the latest from Germany.
The German government has to get going to finally show some tangible results. The last government, at least at the end, did basically nothing, the current one is not fulfilling its promises, either, and people are left standing, seeing that money is spent everywhere but for the peoples needs.
The chancellor is 100% in the pockets of the rich, so properly taxing the top 5% to get the money to fix things is completely out of question. But that is a problem other governments seem to have, too. As if fairly taxing the rich was against some physical law of the universe. Or if taxing capital income as high as income from work would open the gates of hell.
Correction for you: the last government was heavily criticized by the media about the most absurd things nonstop for years.
The media could have used all this energy to write against the afd and we would have a different result now.
Apparently it was more important to shit on a left wing liberal government than to save democracy.
Our worst chancellor since 1945 used the program of the afd as his own to keep them small. This never works.
This always legitimizes right wing populist parties and does not weaken them.
The current government may not even last 4 years and then its pro Putin fascists in power.

That’s the problem. The current government has to deliver. FAST. And they have not understood that yet, I’m afraid.
