But will the CDU form a government with AfD? I thought that most parties refused to have anything to do with AfD.
There has been cooperation at the level of local government and a short-lived arrangement in one of Germany’s states. But, that has been it. (Maybe I could mention there was an attempt by leadership of the Christian Democrats work with the Alternative in the Bundestat to tighten immigration.) The “cordon sanitaire” has otherwise held. I would like to see this wall of separation torn down. Being realistic, this would mean that we’d have to work out our differences among ourselves. But, in my mind, this would be better than the center-right working with the other side. If we, the combined right-of-center parties, get a clear majority, we should organize government.
Obviously, there have to be a coalition.
Like always in Germany.
Now, what will CDU do?
Ally themselves with communist Greens of AfD?
