In his marketing campaign to succeed the disastrous Chancellorship of Olaf Scholz, Merz made a proper transfer that was improper for a Globalist like him – he determined to submit robust migration reform to the Bundestag, the German Parliament.
In a sane world, all props to him – however the truth is {that a} common sense movement he offered was solely authorised due to the votes from the Different for Germany social gathering (AfD).
Merz took a beating within the press and in social media: ‘he broke the firewall in opposition to AfD’.
And Merz desires to be liked by them: Greens, Liberals, Leftists, and Globalists of each stripe.
He additionally took successful within the polls, so now he determined to ‘play robust’ and attempt to show the harshest potential stance in opposition to the AfD.
In an interview to the USAID-tainted Wall Street Journal, Merz ‘warned’ that Elon Musk ‘would face penalties’ for reinforcing the AfD in his X social media platform.
Saying that ‘What occurred on this election marketing campaign can’t go unchallenged’, he complains of ‘interference’ – the brand new catchword for failing European Globalists.
“’It may be a political response. It may be a authorized response. I wish to analyze this calmly after this election marketing campaign’, […] Requested whether or not the implications going through Musk after the election may have an effect on Tesla, whose solely European Gigafactory is in Germany, close to Berlin, Merz stated, ‘I’m intentionally leaving the implications open for now’.”
Most polls – however not all – give AfD simply over 20% of the votes, simply behind their beloved Merz in first place.
However nonetheless, he’s nervous, and thinks that lashing out at Musk is the important thing to his victory.
“’It’s election marketing campaign assist. Whether or not it additionally represents an financial saving or contribution to the AfD, so to talk, must be investigated’, stated Merz. ‘The truth that somebody from exterior Europe intervenes in a nationwide election marketing campaign on this manner is new’, he stated.”
Apparently, Merz has a foul reminiscence, so let’s present him what REALLY constitutes interference: German papers in opposition to Trump.
After sucking as much as Vice-President JD Vance within the interview, Merz, the previous chair of the nonprofit Atlantic Bridge, that promoted ‘German-American friendship’, pretends to not need battle.

Merz hints that he may retaliate in opposition to massive U.S. tech firms like Alphabet, Meta, Apple and X.
“’We aren’t solely intently linked with the U.S. by way of commerce in items but additionally in companies. And on the companies facet, the People have a big surplus’, he stated. ‘So, the scope for negotiations is far, a lot bigger than what we at the moment see’.”
