German election: populist right AfD surges after Munich migrant terrorism

It was already being called Germany's "immigration election" but a new terrorist attack in Munich by an illegal alien from Afghanistan has heightened that impact. The result has been a surge in support for the populist nationalist anti-immigration Alternativ fur Deutschland (AfD) led by Alice Weidel.

The attack in Munich involved a failed Afghan ashlum seeker illegal alien shouting "Allahu Akbar" as he accelerated his car into a crowd in Munich, capital of Bavaria. The result was 28 injured [UPDATE: 39 injured, 2 dead including a 2 year old child and her mother) Germans.

A leader of the Bavarian Christian Social Union (CSU) a staunchly conservative party that only operates in Bavaria and is allied with the traditional conservative CDU, called for "political consequences" for the terrorist attack. Germans will be voting in a snap parliamentary election on Feb. 23 after the former left-liberal coaltion government colapsed.

Now a poll by the British newspaper Daiy Express of London has shown a spike in support for the AfD. The AfD remains in second place, but now only three points behind the first placed CDU. The CDU is on 30% of the vote and the AfD on 27%.

The poll also found that the number of Germans who would consider voting for the AfD has jumped by 11 points. Although that issue was not polled on this poll, other polls have shown a majority of Germans are comfortable with a coalition being formed between the CDU/CSU and the AfD, although CDU leaders have publicly downplayed that for now.

In third place is the lead party of the outgoing coalition, the center-left Social Democrats at 14%. The new stridently anti-immigration populist left BSW is fifth at 6%.

After his speech blasting Europe for censorship, Vice President J.D. Vance held a meeting with Alice Weidel, leader of the AfD, whose party had been excluded from the conference where he spoke. That was regarded as a political signal to German voters.

Here is another article on the German election. There is a post on X where a young woman says she is likely to vote for the AfD because due to migrant crime, she is afraid to go out at night, ride on a train, or go into the city. Scroll down the article to find it, and it is complete with English translations. She has her other possible choice would be the populist left anti-immigration BSW.

Another terrorist act by an illegal alien migrant just happened in Austria, next door to Germany, and is being widely publicized. A Syrian migrant who lives in a migrant shelter went on a random stabbing spree in Villach, Austria, stabbing four people before police were able to subdue him. A 14 year old Austrian boy was killed and 4 other injured. That will reinforce voters attitudes in Germany against migrant violence.

Germany badly needs its own Trump on immigration. Illegal alien migrants now account for 63% of all German welfare spending because most of them don't work. Crime from illegal aliens is through the roof. 14% of people living in Germany are now illegal aliens.

The Christian Democrats are now led by Merkel's longtime rival, Friedrich Merz, who wants to crack down on illegal immigration but not as hard at the AfD wants to crack down. The ideal result for Germany would be a coalition of these two parties, both of which are running strong. Merkel has come out against Merz' immigration policies but she carries little weight in the party any more.

What is really telling, if these poll numbers hold is that each of the parties of the right will individually by iteelf win more seats than all three parties of the failed coalition combined. Immigration seems to be as big an issue in Germany's 2025 eleciton as it was in our 2024 election, and it should be.
