Thousands protest across Germany against far-right extremism ahead of snap elections
The far-right, anti-immigrant Alternative for Germany is currently polling in second place as the country prepares to head to the ballot box on 23 February.
France is ramping up its defense strategy with plans to deploy nuclear-armed Rafale jets near the German border. President Emmanuel Macron announced a €1.5 billion upgrade to Luxeuil air base, which will house these advanced fighter jets equipped with hypersonic nuclear missiles by 2035. As tensions rise across Europe, this move has sparked concerns of a new arms race, with Russia warning the move could escalate regional instability. Is this a step toward stronger EU security or a dangerous gamble?

The much-anticipated phone call between Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin has sparked both hope and skepticism across Europe. Putin has ordered a 30-day halt on strikes targeting Ukraine's energy infrastructure and agreed to a prisoner swap, but European leaders remain divided. While France and Germany cautiously welcome the move, concerns persist over whether Russia can be trusted to honor the ceasefire. Is this the first step toward ending the Ukraine war, or just another tactical move by Moscow?

Germany’s famous Rose Carnival parades in Cologne and Düsseldorf took political satire to the next level, featuring giant floats mocking world leaders like Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin. The parade also took aim at the far-right AfD party, the Ukraine war, and even the Catholic Church, sparking backlash. While many celebrated the bold satire, others found it controversial. Security was heightened due to recent terror attacks, but revelers still flooded the streets in massive numbers. Is this fearless satire or pure provocation?

Friedrich Merz is set to become Germany’s new chancellor after his CDU/CSU bloc secured 28.5% votes, defeating Olaf Scholz’s SPD. Merz, a longtime conservative leader, vows to revive Germany’s economy and impose stricter immigration policies. His political career saw setbacks under Angela Merkel, but he staged a strong comeback in 2022. With AfD securing 20.7% votes, coalition talks are crucial. Born in 1955, Merz has a legal background and extensive experience in finance. His next challenge? Forming a stable government to lead Germany through economic and political challenges.

German Chancellor Olaf Scholz has conceded defeat as the CDU/CSU secures victory in Germanys national election. The right-wing AfD made history by finishing second with 20.4% of the vote, marking its strongest national result ever. Friedrich Merz, CDU leader, vowed swift government formation, rejecting any coalition with Scholz’s SPD, which suffered its worst result since WWII. The election, dominated by migration debates, saw international figures like Elon Musk and J.D. Vance weigh in. Analysts predict a CDU led coalition but remain uncertain about Scholzs future role.
