This panel discussion from WDR's "Presseclub" examines the reasons behind the rise of the AfD in German polls and debates whether the CDU/CSU union needs a change in strategy to counter it.
The panel, consisting of journalists Ann-Katrin Müller (Der Spiegel), Stephan-Götz Richter (The Globalist), Martin Debes (Stern), and Helge Fuhst (WELT), debates the political situation where the AfD has surpassed the CDU/CSU in popularity. The discussion centers on whether this rise is due to the AfD's own actions or a failure of the established parties to address voter concerns effectively.
Participants analyze the impact of external crises (economic, war, migration) and the perception of established parties as being out of touch. They critique the current political discourse, particularly regarding migration and economic policy, and question the effectiveness of 'brand-walling' against the AfD. The panel highlights a sense of helplessness among the ruling parties, with many voters feeling ignored, and argues that simply repeating that reforms are underway is insufficient if the results remain unseen.
