German Election Results Show a Public Tiring of Government Deceit

In case you missed it, the German states of Bavaria and Hesse held elections over the weekend, and big gains were made by two conservative parties that stand as the main opposition to the country’s ruling coalition.

Naturally, the few U.S. media outlets bothering to cover the outcome characterize both the Alternative for Germany (AfD), and the Christian Social Union (CSU), a sister-party to the center-right Christian Democratic Union (CDU), as being “far-right.” Because that’s what our corrupt, propaganda media in the U.S. does.

Reuters reports that “economic woes and migration fears” motivated voters to deal Olaf Scholz’s governing coalition a severe setback without mentioning the key role the country’s insane energy policies have played in creating Germany’s current economic crisis. The German energy sector was already falling into crisis even before Vladimir Putin’s decision to wage war on Ukraine as the country’s vaunted wind industry was severely underperforming.
