  5. Germany's Scholz Slams US Interference After Vance's Far-Right Meeting

Germany's Scholz Slams US Interference After Vance's Far-Right Meeting

ai generated text

US Vice President JD Vance's speech at the Munich Security Conference sparked controversy, as he implicitly favored the far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) party, which is polling second in voting intentions ahead of the February 23 elections. Chancellor Olaf Scholz rejected outside interference in Germany's elections, pushing back against Vance's speech. The AfD party is seen as a threat by the German establishment, and mainstream parties have stated they will not work with them. Vance met with the AfD party's top candidate, Alice Weidel, further fueling the controversy. Elon Musk, a close adviser to US President Donald Trump, has been providing support to the AfD party.

    1. The Trump administration has also recognized that a migration turnaround can only be achieved with the AfD.

    1. If I understood him correctly, he is comparing conditions in parts of Europe with those in authoritarian regimes.

    Olaf Scholz
    Social Democratic Party of Germany
    1. We will not accept outsiders intervening in our democracy, in our elections.
    2. Never again fascism, never again racism, never again war of aggression.
    3. That is not appropriate – especially not among friends and allies.
    4. A commitment to 'never again' is therefore incompatible with support for the AfD.
    5. Democracy must be able to defend itself against the extremists who want to destroy it.

    1. He speaks as though we are not focused on immigration in Europe.
    2. I mean, this is the big theme in every country, that we want to have control of our borders.
  6. US
    James David Vance
    Republican Party
    1. What no democracy — American, German or European — will survive, is telling millions of voters that their thoughts and concerns, their aspirations, their pleas for relief, are invalid and unworthy of even being considered.
    2. To many of us on the other side of the Atlantic, it looks more and more like old entrenched interests hiding behind ugly Soviet-era words like misinformation and disinformation, who simply don't like the idea that somebody with an alternative viewpoint might express a different opinion or, God forbid, vote a different way, or even worse, win an election.
  7. US
    Elon Musk
    SpaceX
    1. Children should not be guilty of the sins of their parents, let alone their great-grandparents.
    2. There is too much focus on past guilt, and we need to move beyond that.
