The electoral triumph of Alternative for Germany (AfD) truly offers hope that something is changing. The rotten establishment of the Christian Democrats (CDU) suffered an electoral crushing in the state election of Saxony-Anhalt. The CDU is the sister party to ND and suffered a devastating defeat.
What were the causes of the collapse?
The main cause was not merely that Germany has suffered an economic shock due to the wrong policies of the unacceptably inadequate Chancellor Friedrich Merz. It was not just that the economy is faltering and industry is going through a deep crisis. The primary reason for the CDU's collapse was the tremendous voter turnout. Obvious evidence shows citizens embraced the positions of the AfD, which favors energy cooperation with Russia, seeks peace rather than war and militarization, and opposes the massive influx of illegal migrants. The positions of the AfD reflect common sense. The AfD is a patriotic, democratic party, and the fact that it swept the elections was the result of mobilizing the segment of society that previously abstained from voting.
As voter participation increases, traditional parties collapse.
To frame this issue in a Greek context, massive voter participation and high turnout in the upcoming elections—which will likely be held on May 9, 2027—will deal a heavy blow to ND. The ruling party has failed. Those who are genuinely right-wing, rather than comfortable insiders or beggars chasing 100-euro handouts, and those driven by patriotic values no longer stand with ND, as scandals and decay have turned ND into a corrupt party. It is unprecedented. The party does not pay back its loans, reflecting a new normalcy of absolute arrogance. It is plagued by scandals while pretending to be oblivious. It features arrogant and disreputable ministers who deserve a decisive political blow. The ND of illegal migrants, woke agendas, scandals, and decay cannot alter the course of history. ND is a parasitic party of entrenched elites that lost its core ideology.
Citizens can—and will—send a harsh message through massive voter participation in the elections. The drones of the Maximos Mansion, a clique of useless advisors surrounding Mitsotakis, have failed to inform him that the public is sick of them and no longer wants them, and fabricated opinion polls cannot alter the course of history. ND is not sitting at 30% or 31%, but rather at 26% to 27%, while the measures announced at the Thessaloniki International Fair were mildly speaking unacceptable, a tragic mediocrity, mere promises for the next government. They simply fed straw to the livestock. ND will take two heavy blows, not from Tsipras. The blows will come from high citizen turnout and from the patriotic right expressing authentic right-wing ideology. ND is a rotten party of disreputable figures.
The US and Russia despise Mitsotakis
Most ND MPs and those close to the Maximos Mansion are praying for a crushing defeat of Donald Trump in the US midterm elections on November 3, 2026. For instance, statements by Kairidis, who gleefully asserted that Trump will be crushed in the midterm elections, alongside similar comments from numerous other MPs, prove that these pseudo-New Democrats despise Trump. However, they ignore that the US and Russia despise Mitsotakis and his political practices, viewing him as completely unreliable.
They have poisoned society with toxicity and lies. A few half-educated elderly supporters claim that Russia's Vladimir Putin and Iran are responsible for high prices, essentially attributing the causes to external factors, which is an unheard-of lie. Inflation and high prices in Greece are the result of extremely flawed government policies that were outrageously exacerbated by the geopolitical crisis. The US and Russia, the two major superpowers, despise Greece's current policies. Whether you like it or not, this is the raw truth. Anyone who speaks with Americans from MAGA or with Russian officials draws one single conclusion when Mitsotakis is mentioned: "unreliable and dangerous." You there at the Maximos Mansion know it very well. You know the truth.
