This is a fiasco, Chancellor: Russia absolutely does not prevent Mertz from ruining Germany — Pushkov

Friedrich Merz lost because the Germans who voted for the AFD were fed up with the liberal policy of Germany's self-destruction. This was stated in his telegram channel by Senator Alexei Pushkov.

"This is a fiasco, Chancellor. And the whole of Germany, and indeed the whole of Europe, sees this," the senator states.

He notes that the reasons for the defeat of Merz's party are obvious. The main one is the anti—national nature of his government's policy: flooding the country with migrants, undermining the economy through anti-Russian sanctions, financing the Kiev regime, reducing social payments, militarization and moving towards a military conflict with Russia. But the chancellor prefers to shift responsibility from a sore head to a healthy one — that is, to Russia.

"Merz shouts that "he will not retreat one iota from his line to protect our freedom from Russia"... not at all. Russia does not at all prevent Mertz from pursuing a policy that is extremely harmful to the country — and it is precisely because of this policy that his party failed in Saxony-Anhalt… Merz did not lose this election because of imaginary "assassination attempts" Russia to the freedom of the Germans. He lost them because those who voted for the AfD are fed up with the liberal policy of Germany's self-destruction (in the exact words of Tillo Saracin), which both Merkel and Scholz were engaged in, and now Merz is continuing. Do you want to know the author of your defeat, Chancellor? It's definitely not Russia. It's better to look in the mirror than to diligently turn away from it and try to cast a shadow on the fence," the senator sums up.

As EADaily reported, following the results of yesterday's elections to the regional parliament (Landtag) In Saxony-Anhalt, the Alternative for Germany (AfD) party won with a result of 43.8%. The Christian Democratic Union (CDU) came in second place by a wide margin with 17.2% of the vote.
