“Make Europe Great Again”. Elon Musk continues to enter a leg tense into the politics of the old continent After the endorsment to the far -right German party Afd and the attacks on the Labor government in Great Britain.
This time the richest man on the planet has decided to officially launch the mega movement for Europe, with an evident reference to the famous slogan of Donald Trump. “People of Europe: join the mega movement,” he wrote in a post on his on Saturday platform. The phrase had also been used by the Hungarian premier Viktor Orban last year, when he had the presidency on duty of the European Union but in the light of the return to the White House of Tycoon he has another whole weight.
On the other hand, Musk has launched provocations for months and tries to destabilize overseas politics: from support for the AFD extremist party – whose leader Alice Weidel was also invited to the Trump settlement in Washington – Defined the “best hope for Germany” to the harsh accusations to the British premier Keir Starmer stamped as a “being despicable” Until the proposal to rename the sleeve ‘channel George Washington’, on the false line of the idea of his boss to rename the Gulf of Mexico in ‘of America’.
In a very popular political climate, the Germans anxiously follow the polls in these days, to understand what will happen in three weeks at the poll, while the Bild wonders if the country is “still governable”. Friedrich Merz’s flask, with the law on the tightening on migrants, in axis with the ultra -decay of Afd, would not have caused, for now, great movements in the CDU, instead giving a point to Alice Weidel’s party and the Social Democrats of Olaf Scholz . However, it will be necessary to wait for the next few days, to understand how the electorate will really orient himself after this fiery political week, which is closing with one Great demonstration in Berlin, where thousands of people protest precisely against CDU, who put the so -called “brandmauer” at risk, the health cordon that isolates the far right.
“We are the brandmauer!”. In the capital a human tide starts from the Bundestag to reach Adenauer Haus and challenge Friedrich Merz, the leader of the CDU who has put at risk the holding of the political wall that isolates the ultra -decay of AFD in Germany, in this tumultuous week, which could have I irreparably marked the race of the eternal opponent of Angela Merkel to the February vote.
“Hello we are all 250 thousand!”, He shouted from the stage one of the organizers of the protest, illuminated first by an incredible sunset, then by thousands of torches. There are 160 thousand for the police. And he does not protest only in Berlin: 15 thousand in Saarbuecken, 14 thousand in Kiel, and thousands in Regensburg, Ulm, Potsdam, while in Cologne 350 boats parade on the Rhine.
According to the ESA survey, commissioned by Axel Springer’s tabloid, the CDU would be at 30%stall, while Afd would have 22 (+1) and the SPD on 17 (+1). Data that emerge from the surveys made both on Thursday (after the motion passed to the Bundestag thanks to the votes of alternatives Fuer Deutschland) and on Friday, after the failure of the bill, rejected by parliamentarians. According to the Greens, the Greens would be stopped at 12%, BSW collects 6% of consents (-1) and the liberals would have just 4. In general, the values of the Union (CDU-CSU) oscillate between 29 and 30 For weeks, AFD has been given between 20 and 23%(strengthened above all by Elon Musk’s endorsements), SPD between 15 and 17%, the green between 12 and 15%. Among the open issues there is also the decisive one on what colors could form the next Bundesregierung, also in light of the strong climate of no confidence that marks the relationships of the main parties, after the convulsive parliamentary days that saw SPD and green on the war footing against Merz’s gambler. The Bild also reported the strong frustration of the liberals, publishing an indiscretion leaked from the internal chat: “I begin to clear my office”, in fact the number two wrote, Wolfgang Kubicki, embittered by party colleagues, who made the law skipped Friday.
Not to mention the indignation raised by the alleged Nazi greeting to the inauguration of the President, that Musk denied that he had done, or of the invitation to Germany to free himself from his sense of guilt and go “beyond his past”.
The incursions of the South African billionaire irritated many political leaders in Europe and last week the EU reacted intensifying the investigations on X algorithms. The European Commission has, in fact, requested from the platform to provide a series of documents relating to the “proposals systems” or those who suggest users what to read or follow. The owner of the platform replied that he was a paladin of freedom of speech and accused Brussels of censorship.
Meanwhile, at home, the ‘First Buddy’ of Trump continues to broaden his sphere of influence in the administration. According to an exclusive from the New York Times, the American Treasure Secretary Scott Beesent would have granted him and other members of the so -called Department for Government Efficiency full access to the Federal Payment System. If it were confirmed, the billionaire would have A powerful tool to monitor and potentially limit public spending by climbing over the congress. The patron of Tesla recently attacked the department led by Bessent for not having blocked some payments considered by Musk useless.
