Durante un dibattito elettorale dal vivo, il candidato del cancelliere tedesco Friedrich Merz (CDU/CSU) ha chiuso il suo avversario di estrema destra Alice Weidel (AFD) sulla sua posizione filo-russa:
"No, Frau Weidel, non saremo neutrali nei confronti della Russia. Non staremo nel mezzo. Siamo con l’Ucraina. Insieme all’Ucraina, difenderemo l’Europa di oggi e faremo di tutto per garantire che le persone come te non determinino le sue politiche."
Weidel e l’AFD hanno apertamente chiesto di ripristinare forti legami con la Russia e riportare il gas russo in Germania.

Friedrich Merz’s assertive support for Ukraine marks a significant shift from previous German policies, explicitly refusing any neutrality towards Russia and suggesting more robust military aid. He advocates for sending long-range cruise missiles to Ukraine, emphasizing the necessity to maintain Ukraine’s military strength, a stance that has received substantial backing from his CDU party in light of rising tensions in Europe.

I find it funny and ironic at the same time that 80 years after WW2, much of Europe is looking forward to Germany to pick up the snot, become a de facto leader in Europe and put a foot in the door of the Nazi currents pouring out of the US.
Strong Ukraine = Strong Europe.
As simple as that.
Merz gets it.
Doesn’t Merz also support the debt brake? In that case, these words are meaningless as there won’t be any significant military aid to Ukraine while Germany is still practicing austerity.
She has a face like a smacked arse
Well done.
How is it that there is something eery similar between all these pro-russian traitors from various countries, are they all russian sleeper agents or is it simply that being a piece of shit gives you same aura no matter which country you are from?!
Just a quick correction: He used present tense, not future.
Then he goes into coalition with AfD and wants that cheap gas.
“we will do everything to ensure that people like you do not determine its policies.” said the man working with them. [Germany: Protesters decry CDU/CSU over AfD collaboration](https://www.dw.com/en/germany-protesters-decry-cdu-csu-over-afd-collaboration/a-71483400).
We will support Ukr no matter what it takes. With your lives if it is neccesary
The nazi lady did not really like it.
We should ask us this, it ukraine is so important for russia, why wouldnt it be important for europe as an ally?
In the last weeks Merz has shown that his words are not worth anything.
I like this guy
Let me translate that for you “We will start making business with russia as soon as the war ends”.
Merz means War, nothing else. Who votes for Merz should have no illusions about that.
You mean to tell me spending months diddling around sending pillows and helmets was neither a winning strategy for the war in Ukraine or public opinion at home? Get Olaf his fainting couch.
Who should we protect Europe from?! Yes, Russia does not need it at all! Better let them protect her from the hypocritical lunatics and sycophants who have infiltrated the government.
