We cannot blame all Germans for the inadequacy of the current chancellor. Germany is a wonderful country full of amazing people and a remarkable culture. Similarly, Brazil, the country that I left to move to Berlin, has amazing people and culture. Unfortunately, I probably won't have time to learn everything I wish I could.

However, we cannot forget that we almost reelected Bolsonaro, who is far worse than Merz. In the first round of the 2022 presidential elections, despite all the suffering he caused millions of Brazilians, he still received more than 51 million votes.

Disinformation campaigns that grow the far-right movement and disrupt democracies are nonstop everywhere. We need to engage in politics. Every day. With everyone. They are winning, but we can make it more difficult for them when they come to power.

After living in Germany for almost nine years, I finally feel like I’m beginning to understand the depth of what people mean when they talk about structural racism. Of course, I’ve witnessed and experienced isolated situations before where the problem was visible on the surface. But over the years, my understanding has deepened, especially now, as populist rhetoric gains strength from a powerful politician who was elected in a democratic process.

I knew Merz would be problematic long before he positioned himself as the de facto chancellor. A few weeks ago, I told a German friend that his first openly racist remarks were only the beginning. He’s clearly speaking to a specific audience, feeding resentment and reinforcing hostility toward what he describes as "the problem in the city landscape."

What I didn’t expect was that a seventy-year-old politician would demonstrate such a lack of political wisdom, both nationally and globally.

Today has been like when he delivered that appalling 'Island of Strangers' speech which he apparently now regrets but the damage has been done

We're sick of you Keir, sick of your weakness and cowardice.

New findings show that WhiteDate operator Christiane Horn aka “Liv Heide” is connected to Austrian far right officer Colonel Markus Schaub — exposed for involvement in paramilitary neo-Nazi training (Searchlight Magazine).

“Another of Schaub’s associates is Christiane Horn …”

WhiteDate is not a “dating site.”
It is part of a transnational racist network, linking extremists from Germany to Austria and beyond.

When the AfD comes to power, I wonder which Germans will finally speak up, or preferably act, about these so-called “problems in the city landscape.”

I still hope to meet them. So far, most seem far more comfortable looking away. Oder nicht?
