It’s really remarkable how, on one hand, Clown World sells its immigration invasion to various nations because “it’s good for the economy” while simultaneously destroying their economies with debt, self-crippling sanctions, and the destruction of national sovereignty.
In yet another major blow to the German automobile labor market, Mercedes has announced it will be relocating production of its A-Class from Rastatt, Germany, to Kecskemét, Hungary. While Hungary’s foreign minister is taking a victory lap, Germany’s largest opposition party is sharply crticizing he government as signs grow that Germany’s automobile market is faltering.
Trade Minister Péter Szijjártó has officially confirmed Mercedes move, writes Budapester. Szijjártó credited the success to “an economic policy based on sound common sense and a stable government that continually attracts new investment projects from global companies in America, Asia, and even Germany.”
However, the news is not being welcomed in Germany, with the Alternative for Germany (AfD) pointing out the dire economic situation the country is facing.
“Mercedes-Benz has stood for German engineering excellence and Germany’s economic upswing for decades. Yet, like many other automakers, the company is cutting jobs in Germany and expanding in other countries. As a result, the entire production of the A-Class is being relocated to Hungary. 20,000 employees are expected to lose their jobs as a result,” wrote AfD politician Christian Abel on X.
“This is a direct consequence of Friedrich Merz’s green climate and energy policies. To make Germany an attractive industrial location again, a genuine economic policy turnaround is needed through the termination of the energy transition, the combustion engine ban, the abolition of fleet emission limits, and the elimination of state-mandated reporting requirements. If this is not possible within the EU, Germany must seriously consider a Dexit,” he wrote.
His last comment has proven controversial in the AfD itself, with the mainline position that a Dexit will not be considered. In 2024, it was reported that AfD co-leader Weidel said she ruled out completely the idea that a Dexit, or exit of Germany from the EU, was possible.
Nevertheless, in 2023, the country lost a staggering 120,000 manufacturing jobs, highlighting serious problems.
It’s unfortunate that the AfD is unfit for purpose, but we knew that when they turned to a lesbian foreign resident for “leadership”. Alternative political parties always turn toward female leadership because it’s more superficially palatable, but they fail to account for the way that women always gravitate toward the sweet spot of their current influences.
So a Margaret Thatcher or a Sanae Takaichi is always going to sound great as long as she’s operating within the limited influences of the alternative party. But the moment she’s exposed to the media, the general public, and the broader political discourse, she’s reliably going to abandon the very positions that secured her ascendance and leadership in the first place.
Which is why neither AfD nor National Rally in France are going to be able to do what is necessary. Given that AfD under Weidel can’t even openly push for DExit, then it’s not even an alternative.
