The birth of a new political dynamic
The new elections in Germany have set a turning point, with the CDU emerging as a winner in a context of a record participation. However, the rise of the Alternativa per Germany (AFD) has shaken the traditional foundations of the European political system.
The AfD phenomenon: more than a simple electoral result
With a support that exceeds 20% of the votes, the AfD has not only managed to get a place in the political landscape, but has normalized its speech while also causing a historical collapse of the left-hand forces. . This new scenario raises questions about the future of globalism in Europe and how it can influence the next Spanish elections.
Comparative between Germany and Spain
Unlike Germany, where the CDU has remained outside the far right, in Spain the PP seems to be more and more willing to collaborate with Vox. This distinction can have significant consequences for the political structure of the Iberian country, especially if Pedro Sánchez’s PSOE is forced to make concessions.
A change in power dynamics
The AFD triumph also represents a direct challenge of traditional policies that have dominated the European political agenda for years. The reaction of traditional parties, which try to maintain a health cord against the AFD, could be counterproductive and cause a turn in political alliances.
The consequences for Spain
The CDU’s decision not to ally with the AfD could directly influence the PP’s voting expectations in Spain. This opens the door to Vox to position itself as a true opposition and attract disappointing voters with traditional bipartisanism.
The AfD as a reflection of a wider change
What has happened in Germany is not an isolated phenomenon. The tendencies of discontent with the established political system can be observed in several European countries. The AfD, with its controversial proposals on immigration and security, has managed to capture the attention of a large part of the electorate who feels disconnected from the predominant speech.
A new age of political mobilization
Issues such as economics, immigration and security have become key issues in public debate, and AFD has been able to take advantage of this wave of concern. Thus, its success is not limited to the ballot box, but has led to a wider debate on the European model and its policies.
Reflections on the political future
With the promotion of the AFD, European politics is at a crucial moment. Traditional parties will be forced to adapt to a new panorama where dissident voices gain weight. The way they manage this change will determine not only their future, but also that of democracy in Europe.
