The Duran: Episode 2526 Germany is at a political tipping point as the AfD surges past 29% while Friedrich Merz and the CDU face historic collapse. Alex Christoforou and Alexander Mercouris on The Duran break down why Alice Weidel has become Europe's most effective opposition leader, why Merz's rearmament economic plan is a disaster for the German economy, and how the political establishment is preparing to blame Russia rather than their own failures. Is Germany about to experience its most transformative political moment since the founding of the Federal Republic? ***THE DURAN SHOP*** https://theduranshop.com ***REVERSE GEAR SHOP*** Athleisure with Style https://reversegear.shop/ ***THE DURAN COMMUNITY ON LOCALS*** https://theduran.locals.com Join Now Get 1 Month Free Trial ***OUR OFFICIAL CHANNELS*** ALEXANDER: https://www.youtube.com/AlexanderMercourisReal ALEX: https://www.youtube.com/alexchristoforou ***CRYPTO SUPPORT*** BITCOIN: 3JvdnoyWMb93hSRgk58ZstUxg11PW9mKSr ETHEREUM: 0xF39BdFb41f639B82E3D2Bf022828bC6394F533A3 LTC: MGFiMC18ZViF6DcCixMqAAP11TG4tF6Acj EMC2: EXX4KK9pZLx7uiLWnCXtp7iMKjtq6o5b6R ***DONATE*** CREDIT CARD: https://donorbox.org/the-duran SUBSCRIBE STAR: https://subscribestar.com/theduran PATREON: https://patreon.com/theduran ***VIDEO*** RUMBLE: https://rumble.com/c/theduran ODYSEE: https://odysee.com/@theduran BITCHUTE: https://www.bitchute.com/theduran/ ***AUDIO*** SPOTIFY: https://spoti.fi/3pMrfPD APPLE PODCASTS: https://apple.co/2H9Hk0a SOUNDCLOUD: https://bit.ly/354ASQ9 ***FREE SPEECH*** TELEGRAM: https://t.me/thedurancom X (Twitter): https://x.com/TheDuranReal?s=20 GAB: https://gab.ai/TheDuran MINDS: https://minds.com/theduran Amazing music contribution from Peter Brown.

All western countries that want change, will somehow have to rid themselves of their security services, senior army officers, civil servants and NGOs.

The EU elite is feeling the heat. Ursula has proposed imposing Soviiet-style censorship on meda messages, in an attempt to hide the growing crisis of authority in the bloc. In Ukraine, the remnants of the Poroshenko defence line is on the brink of collapse. Part of a wider and parallel military crisis which the EU refuses to recognise publicly.

Germany don’t have the rare earth minerals needed for drones and weapons with China having just told Trump to take a hike. The moment Germany allowed Biden to destroy the Nordstream pipelines was the moment it was finished as it had no alternative to reliable/cheap hydrocarbons.

"Privatize the profits-socialize the costs". These transnational economic interests have with the EU and NATO could try to make a regime change in Russia to get its resources. It failed. Now, the european states has to take the economic costs from this corrupt political class. They are truly traitors and have never served the national interests,-they openly despise national interests and identity like their masters.
