Summary
The AfD just won local elections in Germany. Why? Well, not only Ukraine is currently going under, Germany is following, with its economy and social structure in deep dive. This is what explains the rise of the AfD—something the Pro-War Parties in the German establishment try to deny so hard, they rather tarnish AfD voters as "racists" rather than looking into their actual grievances.Dr. Stefan Ebner, an international lawyer working across the US, Germany, and Taiwan, discusses the AfD’s rise in Saxony, Germany’s political and economic decline, immigration, war with Russia, the EU, energy policy, the judiciary, and why professionals and businesses are leaving Germany.The law office of Dr. Stephan Ebner: https://lanaapma.ch/unser-team/ Our Links:Neutrality Studies substack: https://pascallottaz.substack.com Merch: https://neutralitystudies.com/shop Donation: https://neutralitystudies.com/donate Timestamps: 00:00:00 AfD victory and Germany’s decline 00:08:43 AfD as opposition to the political class 00:10:33 Verfassungsschutz and German democracy 00:12:07 Election outlook and direct democracy 00:18:05 Nazi comparisons, war and Ukraine 00:23:03 Leaving Germany and brain drain 00:27:13 The EU, Brexit and sovereignty 00:36:20 War anxiety, arms exports and the SPD 00:41:09 Energy policy and Germany’s economic future 00:45:32 Immigration, Iran and Israel 00:50:14 Rule of law and Germany’s future
