Germany has a new Chancellor, after Friedrich Merz, leader of the center-right Christian Democratic Union was elected, after a historic defeat in the first round.
How and why are you calling him FAR-right?? That is a label EU fascists put on all his opponents - why should you accept and adopt their disparaging labels?
German AfD is at most a center party but EU fascists just declared that is a far-right extremist party… - a step to outlaw it.
- Klaus Kinkel, former BND chief and German Foreign Minister on the 24th of May, 1992.
It is obviously quite ironic for any German politician to pejoratively refer to the AfD party or Romania's Georgescu as supposedly "far right" when the post-war German political establishment and its BND intellligence service has a sinister reputation of supporting outright neo-Nazis and clerical neo-Fascists - such as the heirs of the notoriously genocidal 'Ustashe' in Croatia - in order for the post-war German political elite to take revenge against the Serbs for obstructing German ambitions in the East - "Drang Nach Osten" - during World War 2 by systematically destroying Yugoslavia and demonizing the Serbs via the mainstream corporate media during the 1990's.
The NSDAP [Nazi Party] member and former German Foreign Minister Hans Dietrich Genscher did not forget this old World War 2 relationship with Croatia and enforced the recreation of a new independent state of Croatia under the Hitler admiring Croatian politician Franjo Tudjman. The required armaments supplies to Tudjman's regime was organized by the German BND intelligence service (created by Nazi general Reinhard Gehlen and other Nazis after WW2) that fully cooperated with the Croatian 'Ustashe' since the 1960s in order to undermine and destabilize Yugoslavia.
"We must force Serbia to its knees" is still the official goal of German foreign policy. At the German state level they even sent Bundeswehr neo-Nazi soldiers to the newly recreated independent state of Croatia to celebrate their victory over the Serbs and Yugoslavia with "Sieg Heil" and "Heil Hitler" chants as documented by various German and British geopolitical publications during the 1990's. For example:
Croatia has resumed its "liquidation" of Serbs, while arguing that "ethnic cleansing" is a Serbian creation
"The Big Lie" technique is alive and well. Croatia has used the media and skilful image manipulation to hide its renewed genocide against the Serbs while at the same time ensuring that Serbs are themselves wrongly accused of the same type of crime, and more.
"FIFTY YEARS ON"
The first convention of the Croatian Democratic Union (HDZ) on February 26, 1990, in Zagreb marked the rebirth of the Ustasha and the rehabilitation of the Independent State of Croatia. All the killing and ethnic cleansing policy implementation flowed from that day in a re-run of the events of 50 years before.
On May 30, 1990, the HDZ was elected to power in the Sobor (parliament) and Dr Franjo Tudjman became President of the Republic. At an open air rally in Jelacic Square, the Archbishop Cardinal Franjo Kuharic, blessed a baby's cradle to symbolise the re-birth of the ISC.
On December 22, 1990, the Sabor proclaimed the independence of Croatia and summarily adopted a new constitution under which Serbs lost their nation status, regulated to a national minority.
The HDZ took a series of steps during 1990 to purify Coratia by eradicating the Serbian identity. The cyrillic script was banned, Croatian became the only official language, Serbian associations were abolished, literature was cleansed of Serbian authors and Serbs were not permitted to operate their own TV and radio programmes. On another front, Serbs lost their jobs in the police and security organs as well as in Government posts.
As the same time, World War II history was re-written and street names changed to glorify Ustashi by eliminating any trace of the genocide. T-shirts showing Ustashi symbols such as the infamous Black Legion went on sale to young Croatians.
Arms and defence equipment flowed into Croatia directly and indirectly from Germany. Mass arming of HDZ members took place, the police force was expanded and the National Guard was re-equipped as an Ustashi army. May 28, 1991, saw a nazi style rally of the "Croatian Armed Forces" at Zagreb football stadium.
Then the killing of individual Serbs started. Memories of 1941 stirred and the exodus began. The day after the rally, Serbs from Borovo Selo fled from Croatia. The killings, which started early in April 1991 at Plitvice, escalated during July, August and September. At Vukovar, Serbs were subjected to torture, rape, and murder for many months before the conflict was presented to the world as brutal aggression by the Yugoslav Army against peace-loving Croations. The murders are documented and proven.
Around 5,000 Serbs were rounded up and held in the Borovo footware factory complex at Vukovar. From this Croatian concentration camp hundreds of Serb men, women and children were taken out and slaughtered. Mutilated bodies thrown into the river were carried downstream into Serbian territory. These were recovered, photographed and their identities painstakingly discovered.
October 1991 saw the arrest of 20 Orthodox priests, including his Holiness Lukijan, Bishop of Slavonia, yet another replay of 1941 actions.
Having arrested their Bishop, Croatian authorities during November expelled some 25,000 Serbs from Western Slavonija. At the same time (October 29) the inhabitants of 24 Serbian villages were ordered to vacate their homes within 48 hours by the Croatian authorities in Slavonska Pozega. Seventeen of the Serbian villages were razed in Croatian ethnic cleansing operations which drove another 10,000 Serbs into Bosnia.
No less than 189 villages in nine communes south of the River Drava were completely cleansed of Serbs during 1991 and early 1992.
Church destruction went hand in glove with the arrest of Orthodox priests and the expulsion of Serbs from Croatia. By the end of October 1991 alone, more than 70 churches were completely destroyed or severely damaged. [More than 300 have now been destroyed in the current fighting.] On September 28, Croatian paramilitary forces demolished the Baroque complex of the Pakrac Bishops built in 1732. They set fire to the seminary, and in the cathedral thy burnt icons and the bishops' library containing almost 6,000 books, many of historical importance. Fifty of the books dated back to the 18th Century and included a unique copy of a Sabornik, printed in Venice circa 1536.
As in 1941, it was Germany and the Vatican which brought Croatia to life, the second time by prematurely recognising Croatia as an independent state with the right to secede from Yugoslavia.
Both authorities pushed members of the EC and the international community into recognising Croatia. At the same time, both manipulated the mass media, presenting the Serbs as leftover communists trying to subvert the pro-Western democracies of Croatia and Slovenia.
Germany has gone and continues to go further. It has either allowed or has provided, at a Government level, large numbers of German nationals to go to Croatia as mercenaries or advisers for the Croatian forces which are not only in Croatia, but which are controlling large areas of Bosnia-Herzegovina. Germany continues to provide significant quantities of former East German weapons systems, spares and ordnance to Croatia clandestinely, and in contravention of Germany law, via Hungary and other routes.
German support for Croatia is a natural extension of the country's historical links with Croatia and its support for the wartime Ustaše fascist organization which has once again revived in Croatia and has used its symbols and remembrances of its own wartime exploits to threaten ethnic Serbs living in Croatia...

Kanther, Kinkel and Rühe Linked to Nazi Scandal
BONN -- All three of Chancellor Helmut Kohl's key ministers are now
implicated in the tangled scandal around convicted Nazi terrorist
Manfred Roeder, who received favored government treatment, free
Bundeswehr transport vehicles and who was the invited guest speaker at
the German military's elite officers academy.
Interior Minister Manfred Kanther is the latest to be linked to the
scandal. According to the pro-Kohl Bild Am Sontag, Kanther's ministry
secretly downgraded government warnings about Roeder's front
organization recently, claiming it is "not significantly rightwing
extremist." The downgrade was enough for Kanther's domestic
intelligence agency Verfassungsschutz to stop spying on the Nazi group.
Implicating Kanther increases outrage both in Germany and abroad about
the Kohl government's complicity in aiding outspoken Nazis. Earlier,
Foreign Minister Klaus Kinkel and Defense Minister Volker Ruehe were
linked to the Roeder affair (see previous reports).
Meanwhile Focus newsmagazine reported that thirty German soldiers on
duty in Croatia shouted "Sieg Heil" and "Heil Hitler" during a party in
Trogir right after the unit had been praised for its actions in NATO's
ex-Yugoslavia peace-keeping mission. And Der Spiegel revealed that the
neo-Nazi youth organization "Group 164" had, like Roeder, been invited
to the elite military academy to deliver a propaganda speech.
The new German chancellor officially secured his spot as the headliner in the EU’s political circus—complete with a red nose and oversized shoes while for Romania like Hungary it is overdue for the country to leave the EU.
It's historic because in the post-WW2 era, no German chancellor has ever lost the vote in the first round:
"No candidate for chancellor in post-war Germany had failed to win on the first ballot, but Merz, 69, was six votes short, winning just 310 of the 316 required to secure a majority in the lower house of parliament, or Bundestag."
How and why are you calling him FAR-right?? That is a label EU fascists put on all his opponents - why should you accept and adopt their disparaging labels?
German AfD is at most a center party but EU fascists just declared that is a far-right extremist party… - a step to outlaw it.
Thank you for the feedback! It wasn't meant as a derogatory term, although I can see how the media uses it that way. Noted for future use.

I'm having a hard time reconciling ''Historic Loss'' and 6 votes.
How does one equal the other?
It's historic because in the post-WW2 era, no German chancellor has ever lost the vote in the first round:
"No candidate for chancellor in post-war Germany had failed to win on the first ballot, but Merz, 69, was six votes short, winning just 310 of the 316 required to secure a majority in the lower house of parliament, or Bundestag."
