      Already seen that happens in Sweden. 

      Center-right parties swear they will never joins the nazis. 

      Then the nazis take away too much place on their side and they slowly start to accept nazis, since otherwise they would never win again.

      The price for decades of denial and the open border experiment.

      Isnt that disgenerous? If any party happen to put forward policy that’s apparently popular and 80% of ppl want it, then it makes sense that parties across the spectrum will vote for it. It doesn’t suddenly make them allies.

      As an American, if you don’t want the right-leaning parties to work with the far-right, then you have to force them to work with the left and center. It’s how we ended up in our mess. Americans keep picking Republican, whose happy to collect Nazi votes and support. If you don’t want your parties to work with the AfD, then you have to demonstrate that anyone that cooperates with them will be voted out or replaced by the party (in America, this is called primaries and is a party election). Otherwise, there’s no threat to the politicians for working with the AfD

      At this point, you have to be utterly detached from reality not to see the correlation between immigration and the rise of the far right. Year after year they continue gaining ground campaigning on the same issue – immigration. 60%+ want stricter immigration laws and ignore them, hiding behind “morality”, and possible human rights abuses… don’t matter to concerned citizens. They want change and if establishment parties don’t do that – they vote for outsiders.

      Individuals have policies they are in favour of, and vote for the party they think will enact them

      People vote for far right parties because they have policies that they like

      Liberals/conservatives/leftists refuse to support these policies, because to do so would be to endorse/work with the far right

      So now people have no choice but to vote for far right parties, because they’re the only ones offering the policies!

      Sticking heads in the sand won’t stop this, it’ll just make people angrier and think there’s a deep state trying to keep them down

      If the political establishment truly thinks the far right is an existential threat, they need to work together to provide solutions to the concerns of the public. This means compromising on their beliefs, as hard as that may be. But no-one’s willing to do this. And so we’re stuck, like a tectonic fault. A huge force pushing against a huge mass, and as it continues to build, it’ll just make the eventual eruption worse

      B-b-but Germans have been telling me on Reddit for the past year that the CDU will never work with the AfD? It’s almost like centrist parties will always work with and prop up fascists.

      A non-binding motion to restrict immigration has sparked outrage after citizens said the conservative CDU/CSU broke a promise not to work with the far-right AfD. Protesters in Berlin gathered outside CDU headquarters.

      The demonstrations came one day after chancellor candidate [Friedrich Merz](https://www.dw.com/en/friedrich-merz/t-60575802) worked with the [far-right](https://www.dw.com/en/far-right-populism-in-europe/t-66108914) Alternative for Germany (AfD) to push draft anti-immigration legislation through the lower house of Germany’s parliament, the Bundestag.

      Police in Berlin estimated the crowd size at CDU headquarters to be around 6,000, more than the 4,000 that were expected but less than the 13,000 organizers claimed were there.

      # Organizers accuse Merz of ‘making AfD extremism socially acceptable’ 

      Wednesday’s vote was harshly criticized by Chancellor [Olaf Scholz](https://www.dw.com/en/olaf-scholz/t-57304267) of the center-left [Social Democratic Party (SPD)](https://www.dw.com/en/social-democratic-party-spd/t-17437818), the [Greens](https://www.dw.com/en/germanys-green-party/t-17365878), and numerous church and civil society groups as a breach of the [post-war German taboo](https://www.dw.com/en/germanys-firewall-against-far-right-buckles/t-17455253) against cooperation with extremist parties.  

      Until now, all of Germany’s major parties have abided by the custom, having taken to heart the lesson of the [Nazis’](https://www.dw.com/en/nazism/t-17430731) rise to power via democratic structures. The [business-friendly FDP](https://www.dw.com/en/fdp-free-democratic-party/t-17365530) also voted with Merz.

      The alliance “Together Against the Right” called for Thursday’s protest under the motto, “No Cooperation With the AfD.” 

      Protest co-organizer Carolin Moser, for instance, accused Merz and the CDU/CSU of making the “AfD’s right-wing extremism socially acceptable.”

      # Earlier action prompts police investigation

      As a precaution, employees at CDU party headquarters were told to go home early on Thursday, before the evening protest. 

      Security services had reportedly warned that safe exit from the building could not be guaranteed later, though police described the atmosphere at the event as “peaceful.”

      Earlier in the day, a group of around 30-to-50 demonstrators forced their way into a CDU district office in the western Berlin neighborhood of Charlottenburg-Wilmersdorf, where individuals calling themselves the “Resistance” alliance demanded that the party stop all cooperation with the AfD.

      The disturbance lasted for about an hour, during which time furniture was reportedly vandalized but in which no one was injured.

      Police, who have opened an investigation into whether the gathering violated right of assembly laws, say they filed three reports on property damage and trespassing charges.

      I was at the protest in Hannover and I got to say I’m proud how many people turned up in the middle of the week despite terrible weather. There is no room for fascists in Germany. It’s either zero tolerance or we are doomed to repeat history.

      The CDU has committed a despicable act of holding the hand for fascism. They make themselves complicit in Human rights violations and dehumanization of those in need of help. This law isn’t just a disgusting display of racism, it is straight up unconstitutional. It’s testing the waters, a preview of what is to come.

      The encouraging thing here is that people still care.

      Here in the Netherlands the elections were won by a very racist far right party, which is now in the government, along with 2 other populist parties and a right wing liberal party that’s always in the government, they don’t care with whom. The only positive thing is that they are all so incompetent that they don’t manage to actually implement racist policies.

      In so many other European countries the far right is also winning, with everybody just accepting at as if it were normal. As if those parties weren’t trying to do away with the rule of law by luring people in with false promises and pointing at scapegoats (mulims, jews, blacks transgenders, gays, whoever they can set up the rest against).

      I sincerely hope this will backfire and the Union loses the elections (no, not from AfD of course, but from SPD and Grüne. Or Volt!)

      AfD helped, there was no coaliton or anything. As much as I despise afd, this is an overreaction
