Alice Weidel is elected AfD chancellor candidate in Riesa

Yesterday in Riesa, a town in the State of Saxony the AfD ( Alternative for Germany) Alice Weidel was unanimously elected the party’s chancellor candidate for the February general election in Germany.

In her acceptance speech she spoke strongly in favour of remigration, spelling out the word. She also expressed disdain about wind energy.

She promised if she be elected all wind turbines will be torn down and all functioning nuclear power stations would be brought back on line into the grid.

The tone of her voice and her sentiments, with the large German flags in the background made it all look like a frightening day for Germany. As if nothing had ever happened, as if the past had been forgotten.

Only on Thursday Weidel said that Hitler was not ‘right-wing’ but a ‘communist’.

Outside the venue there was a large demonstration against the far-right AfD party.

Michael, you have clearly read more books on German history than I have and certainly know more about Nazi-socialist politics than I do. Since this was also heavily discussed and written about in Germany after the interview between Weidel and Musk, I came across the following quote from Goebels that I didn't want to hide from you.

"According to the idea of the NSDAP [Nazi party], we are the German left. Nothing is more hateful to us than the right-wing national ownership block."

Also a few interesting points from the most intelligent man named Younghoon Kim from Korea.

Andy, Thank you for your comment and links. Delighted you read the blog, which now has a readership across the world. But the same Herr Goebbels said many things, including this: “It would not be impossible to prove with sufficient repetition and a psychological understanding of the people concerned that a square is in fact a circle. They are mere words, and words can be molded until they clothe ideas and disguise.”
― Joseph Goebbels
