[00:00:12] Only bread, bed and soap, nothing more [00:00:15] for asylum seekers, was the motto in 2024 from [00:00:19] the German radical right, which today they re-edit and [00:00:22] radicalize. AFD says: [00:00:26] for children of irregular immigrants, separate [00:00:29] schools. for refugees, zones [00:00:32] far from the general population, establishments with [00:00:35] foreigners must pay to [00:00:39] Stasi, which was the secret police of monitor them, because they claim that they increase violence. This is an alternative for [00:00:43] Germany that triumphed in the local elections in Saxony [00:00:46] Anhalt, with its leader Ulricht Sigmund, who intends to [00:00:50] give a more friendly face to a group accused by the [00:00:54] German Evangelical Church of wanting to destroy [00:00:56] democracy. They were three seats short of... [00:01:00] the local government. They capitalize on the discontent against Chancellor [00:01:04] Merkel's government and the depressed economy of that area. They [00:01:08] present themselves as the only representatives who know how to [00:01:10] connect with the people, of which only Germans are [00:01:14] a true part. My heart is bleeding, [00:01:18] said a normally cold Angela Merkel in front of this election result, [00:01:21] as if to make us calibrate what it means in the [00:01:25] country that experienced the horror of Nazism, that [00:01:27] AFD has for the first time won local [00:01:31] elections. What is happening in the rest of Europe and how does it question the [00:01:35] common project, and what do these movements tell us in Latin [00:01:38] America? We will discuss it in Global Connection for CNN [00:01:42] Spanish. [00:01:46] We begin the analysis of this exciting topic with Franco de Ledone, [00:01:50] who is a researcher, also an analyst, specialist in all [00:01:53] issues of authoritarianism and global far-right, and a doctor in [00:01:56] communication from the Free University of Berlin, author of the book. [00:02:04] Thank you very much for inviting me. We were already [00:02:07] talking about the proposals and the program of Alternative [00:02:10] for Germany, but what is this party and tell us a little about its [00:02:14] history? Well, it is a party that is located [00:02:20] democratic AFD within the family of what are called radical right parties, that is, parties that through [00:02:23] democratic tools [00:02:27] manage to advance and possibly reach [00:02:31] you what is always very difficult for power. And from those positions, they have an agenda that [00:02:34] erodes different aspects of [00:02:37] democracy, of democratic institutions, of [00:02:40] values, rights and guarantees. It is a party that was born about [00:02:44] 13 years ago in 2013, precisely [00:02:48] as a Eurosceptic party, that is to say, it criticized the positions [00:02:52] of the government at that time, Angela Merkel's government, of [00:02:55] support or rescue for banks and [00:02:58] rescue of the euro itself. You remember that crisis, right, that [00:03:01] moment. And over time it mutated and became a [00:03:05] much more radicalized party with [00:03:07] these ideas much closer to [00:03:11] what appeared in other Western European parties like the National Front in its [00:03:14] time, Jean Marie Le Pen, [00:03:18] election have on as a comparison, I mean, and it is the party we find today [00:03:21] where, from the point of view [00:03:25] of the current German political reality, it is [00:03:28] absolutely normalized and having results, results [00:03:31] like those of last Sunday. Let's talk about the leader of this [00:03:35] AFD party, but in Saxony, [00:03:38] who is [00:03:42] Ulricht Sigmund? Ulricht Sigmund is a [00:03:45] character who is now occupying [00:03:49] a leading position in the Alternative for Germany party, but [00:03:53] the data, ready for what's it has not always been like this, he has not always had [00:03:56] such a relevant place. He gained [00:04:00] ground after the election campaign of last summer where he got the result he [00:04:03] obtained, but he is a person who comes from the sector, if you [00:04:07] will, the most extremist sector of the party, the most radicalized sector, he [00:04:11] is a person who has contacts [00:04:14] with sectors of neo-Nazism, who has [00:04:18] contacts with sectors such as the identitarian movement, which [00:04:20] are classified by the federal office for the protection of the basic [00:04:24] law as extremist positions and [00:04:27] movements, and in that sense, [00:04:30] it constitutes one of the elements that [00:04:34] lead the Alternative for Germany party to position [00:04:37] itself in those more anti-democratic [00:04:40] spaces, and to build a sort of agenda that points [00:04:44] to more authoritarian tendencies at this moment, yes. [00:04:48] States Senator, both of And what is the key to their success? Because among several of the things [00:04:52] they have said is that, in some way, beyond their [00:04:55] real proposals, they appear as very direct, [00:04:59] young, in contrast to Chancellor Merkel, [00:05:02] and with a very intelligently planned [00:05:06] campaign. [00:05:08] Yes, that's true, they have a quality that other parties also have. [00:05:13] of radical right around the world and that is a rather [00:05:16] strong and quite [00:05:19] efficient capacity to manage political [00:05:22] communication. They can build [00:05:25] messages in a fairly [00:05:27] accessible way, in some cases even simplified, which allows them [00:05:31] to access through social networks and what platforms offer with [00:05:34] these short videos and so on to a very [00:05:38] wide audience, an audience that perhaps other parties do not manage to reach. [00:05:41] It is also true that during the campaign they showed a [00:05:45] very close profile to the people, a profile [00:05:49] showing themselves as a member of a community, right? But [00:05:53] what explains this local victory of AFD in Saxony-Anhalt [00:05:56] also in terms of national politics? [00:06:00] Well, first of all, it must be said [00:06:02] that Saxony-Anhalt is a rather [00:06:05] small, sparsely populated, and quite poor region, one of the poorest, [00:06:09] so we are always talking about a symbolic blow with what happened on Sunday. [00:06:13] Now, as you rightly point out, it belongs to a [00:06:17] particular region in Germany that is known as Eastern Germany or [00:06:20] East Germany, which is precisely located where the old [00:06:24] GDR was, where the old [00:06:27] GDR territories were. That [00:06:30] territory was unified with Federal [00:06:33] Germany in the early [00:06:37] 90s after the fall of the Berlin Wall, and a process of [00:06:40] annexation, if you will, [00:06:43] was generated there. The point is that in that reunification [00:06:46] process, [00:06:49] a narrative has been built, developed, and passed down from generation [00:06:53] to generation of a sort of injustice, a sort of injustice [00:06:57] in economic terms, but also in terms [00:07:00] of positioning in decision-making [00:07:03] places, etc. That narrative has [00:07:06] become a sort of [00:07:09] deep frustration, even for people who did not experience the process [00:07:12] but who received it later [00:07:15] by listening to their parents and grandparents, and from [00:07:18] there, no party was able to take responsibility for that [00:07:22] narrative. The majority of people who understood that process as [00:07:26] unfair ended up seeking refuge in abstention, [00:07:28] right? Now, [00:07:32] has built an identity, a political [00:07:35] identity through that narrative. AFD has presented itself as the [00:07:39] only party that responds to that. that can [00:07:43] convey it. From there, they have been able [00:07:46] to establish a kind of connection that goes beyond the political [00:07:50] program, that goes beyond the concrete content they [00:07:53] propose. There lies at least part of that very [00:07:57] important success they have had now. And of course, one can also [00:08:00] account for an impressive mobilization, one of the [00:08:03] highest participations recorded, with 78% with new [00:08:07] voters, discontent, punishment for the general [00:08:10] government, the leaderships we mentioned, the strategies we [00:08:14] mentioned, also the anti-immigration [00:08:17] theme and in favor of greater stability, with [00:08:21] bad economic figures. I would like to ask you, Franco, what can you tell [00:08:25] us, from your perspective, and what impact can this local [00:08:30] the next local elections, but above all, [00:08:34] thinking about 2029 in the next general national [00:08:37] election, how much can it shake up, how much can it change [00:08:41] the German political system? [00:08:44] Well, first of all, it's a novelty that AFD is on the verge of [00:08:47] forming a government. It has won another election, it was in Suhl [00:08:51] two years ago, if I remember correctly, but it has never been so close [00:08:54] as now to forming a government, as you rightly pointed out, it only needs three [00:08:58] more seats and it would achieve it, or with some abstentions as well. [00:09:02] This puts AFD in a role and in a space it didn't have [00:09:05] until now. This allows AFD to press [00:09:09] even harder [00:09:13] on the rest of the parties to break the sanitary cordon, to [00:09:17] build or at least be openly willing to [00:09:20] build dialogue with AFD, something that no party wants to do except [00:09:24] the left, the conservative left, which is a relatively [00:09:28] new party that emerged two years ago and that has shown itself open to [00:09:31] this, but going back to your question, [00:09:34] AFD now has a much stronger [00:09:37] position in the political spectrum, in the political [00:09:41] scenario, better said. This will surely have an impact on the other [00:09:44] regional elections, but above [00:09:47] all, I believe that the strongest symbolic impact is at the federal [00:09:51] level in terms of showing that the discontent with the [00:09:54] federal government, with the Merkel government, is more [00:09:58] latent than ever, right? That exception, if you will, [00:10:01] that there may be with the electoral promises, both for the more, [00:10:05] if you will, progressive [00:10:08] conservative sector, would not be fulfilling [00:10:12] expectations, and well, that is what the AFT vote would [00:10:16] reflect, as growing as what we are seeing [00:10:19] now in the polls. Yes, of course, and the halving of the CDU vote, which [00:10:23] backs that. [00:10:25] Briefly, to conclude, you who are there, how has it [00:10:28] resonated in a country that experienced the Second World War, that [00:10:32] experienced the horror of Nazism, how does the [00:10:35] victory, even if regional, and the advance of this far [00:10:39] right resonate from that perspective, how is it [00:10:42] experienced? Well, first of all, I would say that in [00:10:46] general there is a significant concern because, well, as I told [00:10:49] you a while ago, the connections that may exist [00:10:53] with more extremist, neo-Nazi sectors are worrying. [00:10:57] It has been revealed that some of the candidates who were voted on that [00:11:00] list belonged to the [00:11:04] the GDR. Others have deep connections with [00:11:07] neo-Nazi sectors, openly neo-Nazi sectors, [00:11:11] sectors with connections to Russia, [00:11:14] etc. There are many elements that cause concern. However, when [00:11:18] you look at the reactions in general, you start to try [00:11:21] to identify different profiles. You also [00:11:25] find opinions like, for example, "well, they should be [00:11:28] allowed to govern to see if they do it well, and if they don't do it well, they [00:11:32] will be punished electorally," a position that [00:11:35] I doubt, I doubt that this is the case, because in general it has not happened. [00:11:39] We have examples all over the world that when the far right comes to [00:11:42] power, it does not necessarily receive that punishment. And there are [00:11:46] other positions that have to do with, "well, this will [00:11:49] help the rest of the parties realize that they have to change their stance on [00:11:53] some issues, that they have to change their discourse." These are some issues, something that also [00:11:57] makes me doubt, because if they haven't achieved it until now, [00:12:00] now we are in some way at the end of the normalization [00:12:03] process. There have been other warning signs, so I also doubt [00:12:07] that will happen. The point is that in any [00:12:10] case, AFD occupies this place, a place that 13, [00:12:14] 14 years ago it was impossible to imagine a party of this type [00:12:18] having this role in Germany, and Germany, as well as the rest of Europe and [00:12:22] many other places in the world, will have to learn [00:12:25] to live with that and try to sustain democracy and democratic [00:12:28] institutions in the best possible [00:12:31] way.

[00:13:54] To understand the world, you need to seek the [00:13:57] truth, let's go back to the time when we had to be much more [00:14:01] human, that's why we follow the facts, wherever they [00:14:04] take us, no matter how far we have to [00:14:07] go, from the internal story, there are new [00:14:11] declarations from President Donald Trump, to an external [00:14:14] perspective, we delve into [00:16:13] What does the triumph of this radical right in a local [00:16:16] election in Germany mean, for Germany, for Europe and [00:16:20] for Latin America? We will discuss it with Michelle Jafem, academic from the [00:16:24] Institute of Political Science at the Catholic University. Thank you for joining us. Thank [00:16:27] you very much, Mónica, for the invitation. We talked about the local leaderships [00:16:30] specifically in Saxony-Anhalt with the [00:16:34] local leader [00:16:36] of AFD, but what does the national leadership mean, [00:16:40] again a woman, Alice Weidel at the [00:16:44] head of a radical right-wing party, as we have seen in other places, [00:16:47] exactly, we have the cases, right, of Marine Le Pen in France, Giorgia [00:16:51] Meloni in Italy, the leader of the far-right [00:16:53] party of Denmark, there are repeated [00:16:57] female leaderships in the European far-right, this [00:17:00] is a particularity of these European [00:17:04] parties that promote female leadership. [00:17:07] Because they understand that gender equality and women's [00:17:11] rights are achievements of Western civilization, and [00:17:14] that allows these projects to be contrasted with the threat posed [00:17:18] by the East, especially the Middle East and Muslim migration, [00:17:21] which arrives in Europe, which understands women in another [00:17:25] role within society and in a more patriarchal role, right, [00:17:29] of subordination. The authorities show it. These more [00:17:32] radical right-wing groups, is it correct to call them [00:17:36] radical right? Far-right, the categorization [00:17:39] we are using and the typology that is [00:17:42] most recurrent posits that there is a family of parties [00:17:45] that is the far-right. There we have two projects: the extreme [00:17:48] right, which is characterized by trying to operate outside democratic [00:17:52] rules, and right-wing radical populism, which plays within [00:17:58] norms and takes advantage of democratic institutions [00:18:00] to set back democracy, as AFD [00:18:04] would be in that sub-family. It is advancing and [00:18:07] how. What can this election tell [00:18:10] us about the advance of this radical populist [00:18:14] right in Europe? Well, we are, [00:18:17] according to what various authors have proposed, [00:18:21] in a fourth wave of the far-right, and in this [00:18:24] fourth wave, we have seen European cases, Viktor [00:18:27] Orbán, the case of Marine Le Pen herself, who has not yet [00:18:30] come to power, but has grown. Her National Rally has [00:18:34] grown in terms of [00:18:37] representation in France. We already mentioned [00:18:40] the case of Giorgia Meloni, but also Viktor Orbán, who [00:18:44] came to power and then left. The Polish [00:18:47] far-right party also came to power and lost the [00:18:50] next election. That's why we also talk about Hungary, [00:18:54] exactly, with Orbán, and that's why we talk about the wave, [00:18:57] right, that is, in a way, [00:19:01] activating and deactivating cases [00:19:04] in different parts of the continent, but... We are facing a [00:19:08] phenomenon that is spreading worldwide, which is why we can [00:19:11] speak of a wave in general terms and with the [00:19:15] same logic, right? Just as many authors have focused their attention on [00:19:18] Europe, they are now also focusing it on Latin America and with the cases that [00:19:22] are emerging in our region. What can we say [00:19:26] then about the European project? Is it [00:19:29] threatened by these groups that are anything but [00:19:32] Eurosceptic? Exactly, one of the logics [00:19:35] of the emergence of these parties is their opposition [00:19:39] to globalization. They are deeply [00:19:43] globalizing or anti-globalization. [00:19:46] They are sovereignists, they understand that countries must [00:19:50] resolve their political issues from within their borders, [00:19:54] so transnational organizations and international governance [00:19:57] like the European Union are threatening. They think that, [00:20:01] as they had already discussed, AFD emerged as [00:20:05] an opposition to the European Union's rescue plan for countries [00:20:08] like Greece, during the crisis between 2008 and [00:20:11] 2013, and today they are also very opposed, for [00:20:15] example, to supporting Ukraine against Russia, [00:20:18] exactly. This is one of the fundamental characteristics of these [00:20:22] radical right-wing populist projects: one, [00:20:25] an authoritarian nostalgia, in this case, a nostalgia for the [00:20:29] German project of Eastern Europe, right? A [00:20:33] search for the vindication of that previous state, right, of a previous [00:20:36] order that was lost and that in a way explains the shortcomings and [00:20:40] difficulties faced by that sector, that area of Germany, even if it is of a [00:20:44] different ideological sign, even if it is a different ideological sign, and that is curious because there [00:20:48] was a regime, but there was an order, and the nostalgia [00:20:51] for that order. On the other hand, [00:20:55] right, a populist discourse in the logic of separating [00:20:58] society into an "us" and a "them," right? "They" [00:21:02] being the corrupt elite, in this case the corrupt transnational [00:21:06] elites, the European Union, right, that wants to [00:21:09] threaten that "us," right, which is the pure German [00:21:12] people, also the Muslim [00:21:15] migration that is a civilizational, cultural threat to [00:21:19] pure Germany. And finally, a component that is [00:21:22] known as nativism, which is different from xenophobia, which is the idea [00:21:25] that countries should function with the natives [00:21:29] of those regions, that is, Germany for [00:21:32] Germans, right, and German decisions made [00:21:36] by Germans. What happens in Latin America? [00:21:39] What can you tell us or what can we learn from this German process for [00:21:43] our continent? Well, the far right has a diffusion [00:21:47] effect, as happens in many political [00:21:50] phenomena in general and in global terms also, right? [00:21:53] From Latin America, the advance of the [00:21:56] far-right in Europe has been [00:21:59] observed, and it is no coincidence that there are links between the parties, these [00:22:03] new rights or the far-right, as various authors [00:22:06] are studying them, with parties like Vox, [00:22:09] right, with parties like AFD or FPO of [00:22:13] Austria, which was with its MEPs at the Madrid Forum last [00:22:16] week here in Santiago. So, the [00:22:20] success in Europe in a way inevitably makes one think [00:22:23] that it encourages these projects in Latin [00:22:26] America, but it must be understood that there are fundamental variations. The migratory [00:22:30] issue is not a political issue for the [00:22:34] Latin American far-right, right? The majority of countries, for [00:22:37] example, Brazil, Argentina, which have had [00:22:41] governments, or are having, [00:22:45] like the Argentine case, do not have migration [00:22:49] as a public problem or a matter of public concern, [00:22:52] as it can be for the Chilean case, yes, the economy, yes, [00:22:55] indeed security, and yes, the idea of that interference, right, of [00:22:59] agents outside national states, right, in local [00:23:02] politics, let's call it the UN, let's call it [00:23:05] the WHO for the Argentine case, right, but [00:23:09] of entities that seek to infer in local [00:23:12] politics, right, with the objective of, in addition, in the populist [00:23:15] logic, harming that "us" that is the pure people. I'll close by asking [00:23:21] political scientists, but do you [00:23:24] think this will still [00:23:27] be a specific event for [00:23:31] the next regional elections, will [00:23:35] the more radical populist right of [00:23:37] AFD also advance in Germany and perhaps, thinking [00:23:41] about 2029, become the leading force in the national [00:23:44] elections? I think there is a [00:23:47] process that... an author whose [00:23:51] surname is Valentín calls the "information [00:23:54] shock," which is when these parties win elections, [00:23:57] increase their representation and reach [00:23:59] power, other political [00:24:02] leaders do not see that power is taken by force, [00:24:05] they see that they comply with institutionalism, they [00:24:09] see that they are even capable of sitting down to negotiate, and what some have [00:24:13] called in France the "sanitary cordon" is lowered. In [00:24:16] Germany, the other parties have called it the "firewall," [00:24:20] right? I think not negotiating with them, exactly. That advance [00:24:23] will depend on how the other political forces [00:24:26] align themselves around this [00:24:30] far-right force that is growing electorally, [00:24:34] on the one hand, how much they keep it marginalized and how much they [00:24:37] integrate it into the political mainstream, right, how much they [00:24:41] have the capacity, they agree to form [00:24:45] a coalition with them. We are already seeing the discussions [00:24:48] German, even though there is no possibility of a coalition, but the truth is that they do not [00:24:52] have a majority, so they have to negotiate, of course, to reach [00:24:56] 50% of the seats, [00:24:58] so part of the successes of the far right also have an [00:25:02] endogenous character in the sense that it is outside the parties and it has to do [00:25:06] with how the other political forces react, I understand, but also how [00:25:09] the media react, how much they normalize these [00:25:12] projects, because the [00:25:16] language can change and they can moderate certain antisemitic positions. [00:25:20] that they have put forward, Holocaust denial that they have put forward or at the [00:25:23] end of the day Islamophobic that they have [00:25:26] put forward, but the project remains, so they [00:25:30] moderate themselves to grow and when they grow [00:25:33] a certain impulse is [00:25:37] you very much for joining us on global connection.
