As 34 years since the fall of the Berlin Wall are marked, another wall is collapsing resoundingly in Germany. Another wall also erected to divide the Germans, not between the free and the slaves of the communist regime like the previous one, but between good and bad. That is, between those who vote for the parties of the Single Party of the colorful hues of Agenda 2030, which are the Greens, the Reds (SPD) and the Blacks (CDU/CSU), and the bad ones who vote for, are active in and defend the Alternative for Germany (AfD).

The wall is sinking, the so-called “cordon sanitaire” is cracking, which is nothing more than the device of the elites of the left so that the real right never governs. It is ever clearer that in Germany, sooner rather than later, an alliance of the right will form to combat head-on and without complexes the still-hegemonic bloc of a social democracy that holds the CDU hostage with its elites. And which, with its multicultural project and the delirious social engineering set in motion in the European Union, wants to do away with the German nation as with the rest of the European nations.

Alarm in the District Parliament of Central Saxony. The CDU, the Free Voters party and the AfD voted together to block the payment of 3.5 million euros for new refugee facilities. It is not a village. It is an entire district.

There are ever more places where local activists defy the directives of Berlin and seek alliances to defend themselves against many insane policies of the left, from education in gender ideology, the eco-climatic delirium and, above all, the immigrant invasion. And that collaboration is anathema for the chiefs in Berlin. Those who want to prevent at all costs the forces of the right from acting together have a serious problem in a Germany where the general deterioration of the quality of life and insecurity have soared.

Because the voters of the AfD, approaching now a quarter of the electorate of all Germany and more than 30% in many regions of the east, who have been fed massively by the vote to the left, from the SPD and Die Linke, have the same concerns as the voters of the CDU/CSU, and not only on the question of illegal immigration, the defense of values, family, borders and traditions.

The problem spreads like an oil slick; large and small cities, districts and hamlets that watch their social and public services collapse under the costs of the unstoppable flow of remote foreigners treated as refugees, have made a large part of the social benefits for Germans disappear and have dramatically changed the German landscape in a decade.

Many of the municipalities are directly bankrupt and have had to suspend services considered essential. Seeing that there is nothing to expect from left-wing parties like the SPD and the Greens, launched into promoting the multicultural, shrinking and impoverished society, those Germans with an attachment to the nation and above all to the security and the ways of life that their rulers are destroying for them, move toward the parties of the right.

And there are ever more members of the CDU and CSU who know that they will only be able to govern with rationality and common sense in an alliance with the AfD. And among the national leaders the first trial balloons have also arrived, although the media and left-wing packs have silenced them, but only for the moment.

The problems with the AfD undoubtedly exist, with a leadership that has not been solid, has had a lack of leadership and undoubtedly has extremist elements. But the left-wing parties that have governed and govern have no less extremist ones. And little can be said by the members of a government led by an SPD whose leadership was bought by Russia over the past twenty years and whose chancellor was, as vice-president of the Young Socialists, a courier of the Kremlin’s propaganda apparatus against NATO, an assiduous visitor of his contacts in East Berlin in the 1980s. In the local alliances, where the weight of knowing the persons is greater than that of the party labels, these alliances will multiply.

Yes, the firewall is sinking that the rulers, the intellectuals and journalists, those German social-democratic elites of all those parties, had erected under threats and that they intended to separate forever the parties they call democratic from the demonic far-right of the AfD. So that it would be asphyxiated as happened with Nazi and far-right parties in past decades. It is no longer going to happen, because society has reacted to the permanent drift toward the left of the CDU and therefore of the political center.

That the Spanish media do not talk about it is no coincidence. Embarked as they are, all of them one could say except this one, launched into a race to see who earns the most merit in their attacks, inventions, speculations, half-truths and whole lies against VOX, this evolution of events in Germany does not interest them. Even less so given the whole panorama on offer ahead of the European elections of June 2024, in which the Identity and Democracy (ID) group, in which the AfD sits in the European Parliament, is expected to grow almost as much as the European Conservatives and Reformists (ECR) group, in which VOX sits.

Together they could form, for the first time in history, a right-wing majority with the PP. Parts of the PP will undoubtedly opt for it, fed up with doing social-democratic politics. Others perhaps will opt to recognize that they are already decidedly social-democratic and will go off with the liberals of Renew or with the socialists.

Donald Tusk’s Polish EPP group could easily be integrated into the socialist group and it would not attract attention. Also Esteban González Pons, of course. The dilemma for the European People’s Party will be, in any case, existential.
