Is the CDU paving the way for the AfD to power in Germany, as Left Party leader Wissler claims? The reactions from the other left parties to the “breaking of the taboo” also give the impression that Höcke’s seizure of power is imminent. It is declared a “historic failure” and a “deep blow for parliamentarism” that the opposition CDU did not refrain from submitting a proposal to reduce the real estate transfer tax, which the AfD helped gain a majority. The law would not have existed without the votes of the FDP representatives. FDP chairman Lindner thinks the tax cut is good. But because it was decided with the votes of the AfD, that is “not a good signal”.
That would be a right of veto for the AfD
It is no surprise that the left-wing coalition in Thuringia, which does not have a majority, wants to prevent decisions pushed through by the opposition. But do the CDU and FDP only want and should they take initiatives that it is certain that the AfD would not agree to? This would give the bourgeois parties to the AfD the right to veto their own policies and the red-red-green minority government a guarantee of existence. Ramelow could have prevented the “pact with the devil” if he had come to an agreement with the CDU, which tolerated him. He is no less responsible for the “thunderclap” that he accuses her of.

Pressure is now being exerted on the CDU leadership from all sides to prevent any cooperation with the AfD. Daniel Günther is also calling for this in the CDU, which is putting party chairman Merz in trouble. The party base in the East is reluctant to be told how to deal with the AfD, which has become the strongest force in the polls despite the “firewall” and is now triumphing because the CDU is once again falling out on its behalf. However, the left-wing parties also have no effective recipe for containing the AfD. The alternative practice of weakening the CDU through political castration is not suitable for this.
