But that was back in 2015... Things can change in almost 10 years. And they have, because Merkel, who started the "migration disaster" was much more in the centre, than the current leader of the CDU, Merz, who is pretty far right in the CDU and has a lot of different opinions compared to Merkel

First of all this "migration disaster" is the only thing being able to safe Germany of a total collapse of the pension system and general economical growth and secondly since Merkel left the CDU has become much more right wing and populist, so they don't really care about migrants lifes anymore.

Here are some insights from which Danish political parties are pro-EU and which are pro-EU and which are sceptic! The current ruling government is composed of a coalition government of three parties call the SVM-government - the Social Democrats, the Left (Venstre) and the Moderates. However these parties are losing popularity and there is a rising populist party called the Denmark Democrats that might try to influence EU-policies. Hope you enjoy the read here! - Enhedslisten: Traditionally a left-wing, EU-sceptic party, but today is more pro-EU and engage in EU-elections - belongs to European United Left (GUE) / Nordic Green Left (NGL) - Socialist People's Party (SF): Moderate left and pro-EU, belonging to the Greens-EFA - Social Democrats (SD): Moderate left and pro-EU, belonging to the S&D - Social democrats - The Moderats: Centre right and pro-EU, beloning to Renew Europe - Venstre (The Left): A classical liberal centre right party, pro-EU and also part of Renew Europe group - The Denmark Democrats (DD): A right wing populist, liberal party, that are EU-sceptics yet are eager to join the EU-Parliament to influence policies from within, and are likely to team up with Identity and Democracy - Liberal Alliance (LA): A classical liberal right wing party, more economically liberal than The Left, and are pro-EU yet are sceptics regarding the democratic deficiencies in the EU From my understanding, current polls indicate that the parties like Liberal Alliance, the Denmark Democrats and the Socialist People's Party are going to gain far more votes in the next election, and I am super interested to see how this will influence the EU! It is a super interesting development in our politics at home, since these are mostly newly formed parties Denmark is also a pretty important member-state in the EU, we've sent a ton of support to Ukraine, we are increasing our military budget to over 2% BNP, and the current Executive Vice President of the European Commission is from Denmark!

What about a video about the smaller parties? The people shall learn more about the smaller alternative parties, who can be real alternatives, for example Volt (as you already mention)...

@EUMadeSimple: You already touched a bit on the topic but I would love a video that goes into depth with the following: Just because different national parties belong to the same EU Group, the parties don’t necessarily agree on all matters. E.g. the Danish Social Democratic Party's stance on migration is a lot tougher than that of its EU Group, the S&D. Therefore I wonder: 1) Who ultimately decides the stance on the different EU matters (e.g. on migration, on green initiatives, on EU enlargement, etc.) in the individual EU Group and how do they decide what to vote on different pieces of law? (Is it the chairperson of Group? The largest national party represented in the individual Group? Or will they have to vote internally in the Group to find out how to think of topics or pieces of law? Or something else?) 2) What if a member of a Group does not agree with its Group’s stance on a topic or piece of law? Can they vote according to their own/national stance on the matter or must they vote according to whatever the Group thinks on the topic? In relation to the this; are there any written and/or unwritten rules about voting the EU Parliament. Finally, thank you for another informative video

@EUMadeSimple

Ай бұрын

It is a very tough question on which I could create an entire video (which maybe I should). In short, the parties generally agree on big topics before they go into coalitions together. For example, The Greens from all over Europe will likely agree on 90% of strict green policies. While Renew Europe is very pro-business and anti-red tape, so they are likely to agree to 90% of policies that improve this. Also, before the elections they generally agree (and comprimise) on what their priorities are. Of course, more compromise might be made by countries with fewer MEP's that with more. Lastly, groups are no where near as united as national parties in countries. If you look at the voting records, it is very common for their to be 50-50 splits within European Political Groups. Take the EU reform proposal, where the EPP groups almost had a 33%-33%-33% split in support (for-neutral-against). This by no means a full answer - and I have put it on my lsit of potential videos as it is an interesting topic.

Ursula needs to go; she's a tragic failure. The EPP sheltered Orban, the only reason Orban is such a thorn in the EU's side is because the EPP coddled him for their own short-term gain. We need new leadership. The CDU/CSU states they are Strong on EU defense, but do not support Ukraine. The CDU/CSU states they want "very strict" immigration laws, but it's worse now than ever. People are frustrated and turning to far right parties. The CDU/CSU states they want a more competitive EU, but none of their plans will make much of a difference. Again, I agree that we need a strong EU defense, strong borders, and a strong economy, but very little of what the EPP has done promotes their own words. It's words, not deeds, not actions. There's a famous phrase, "When all is said and done, more will be said than done." This is EPP's mantra. We need new leadership. Ursula and the EPP both need to go.

Volt is essentially the opposite of the AfD. While the AfD is voted for by people that want to strenghten national sovereignty Volt believes that Europe should essentially become a united states of Europe. They are somewhat of a pro-EU protest party that opposes both the current middle system and other parties caving to the right to get support. Socially they are progressive and economically moderate to liberal (pro-market). DiEM25 is a similar group that is much more left-leaning on economics and socialist (they were the closest party to failing to gain a seat in the last German election).

Probably about the occupation of Moldova by Romania, because Moldova as a country existed many centuries before Romania was established. I don't know any Moldovan who would like to be part of Romania, but I know many Romanians who would like Moldova to be part of their country, which is not a sufficient argument for the merger of the two countries, especially since Romania is currently cooperating very strongly with Germany, as it was during World War II, and German, Austrian, Russian or Turkish arbitrations in this part of Europe are associated only with an attempt to play off the countries of the Western and Eastern Balkans and were always carried out under pressure, during conflicts or wars that these countries caused, so Germany and Romania will get away from the national issue of the Moldavian state ! Using a card such as Moldova's accession to the European Union as a result of the annexation of this country by Romania is an abuse by Germany and Romania of the entire idea of the European Union project for some nefarious purposes.

I don't think this overview gave a good overview on the parties. Acting like the CDU/CSU, AfD and BSW are comparable migration is just misinforming. The Union supports some restrictions on immigration but s far more moderate. This makes it seem like their major difference to the AfD is just the Pro-EU stance. I don't know if this done in an attempt to simplify to reach a wider audience but tbh I don't think there are many people that are into politics and get confused by political parties having small differences that matter in the long term. People aren't that stupid that they will get confused. I believe someone that doesn't know about German politics would be confused why some of the parties aren't working together. The CDU/CSU defenitely doesn't support "VERY strict migration" laws. I have no idea where you got that from. It also didn't really explain the BSW. Wagenknecht supports syncretic politics, being left-wing on economics and right-wing and pro-Russia on essentially all social issues. Similarly the opposition to buerocracy is mainly driven by economic liberalism and more freedom for company owners. Saying they are the only party to oppose ineffective buerocracy is incorrect and just taken out of their election program without any critical analysis. If you think there is too much buerocracy but also support workers rights and unions you still wouldn't even entertain voting for the FDP. Something else mentioned by others is the lack of any analysis of the "smaller parties" but especially the Left and the Free Voters both of which poll over 5% and get more support than "major" parties in many states. Parties such as Volt, ÖDP, THE PARTY or the Pirate Party are also household names for any German thats somewhat into party politics with the ÖDP especially having name recognition in Bavaria and The Party, Volt or Pirate Parties gaining in some cases double didgit support. I also don't think anyone would click of a video about EU elections in Germany because they learn about 12 instead of 6 parties especially because parties like The PARTY are just memorable to anyone that learns about them.

​@@DGAMINGEN Oh, please, it's well known that even Angela Merkel didn't vote for same sex marriage but abstained. MOST of CDU supporters either abstained or voted against. Not to mention that previously (when CDU was in coalition with FDP) they absolutely voted against. CSU just 2-3 years ago introduced lgbt in their programme, because they didn't want to be the only parliamentarian homophobes together with AFD. So, don't lie here, please. CDU is a strong supporter of imperialism (although all parliamentarian German parties except Die Linke nowadays kinda are) - CDU even supported the criminal US invasion of Iraq (luckily they were not in power back but SPD and Greens who were against). CDU loves exporting weapons to conflictual zones more then the others (not the only one I repeat), they are against dual citizenship, they support privatisations, they support car industry and highways over public transport, they don't care so much about climate change and global ecological justice, they support surveillance of citizens, etc. Of course they are on the right side of the spectrum in the Western and Northern European context. They used to be much more right wing, xenophobic, conservative, nationalistic, homophobic, authoritarian some decades ago, though. Tell me what Sahra's right wing policies are, apart from being for restrictive immigration measures (although I could remind you that Socialist Party of Netherlands has the same position)? Maybe because she calls Gaza an open prison... for German citizens that's a right wing position? 🤣 I guess that Amnesty International, Human Rights Watch and all green and socialist parties outside the post-Nazi space (Germany and Austria) are also very right wing in that case. 😅 Btw, neo-Nazi party doesn't want to export weapon because they are isolationists, not because they care of human rights and threat of genocide, and has a pacifist agenda. The same with AFD -- they are a strong supporter of Israeli government because they have similar right wing policies, and they have no problem with more dead Muslims (they might love it), while the Green party has a different reason for supporting the weapon export even though the immoral and criminal ones of course (common for German post-Nazi confused subjects). After all, they have been brought to the Hague court these days. 😅 Also when it comes to export of weapon -- all democratic socialist and left green parties are against it across Europe (just look at Scandinavia), while all parliamentarian right wing and conservative parties are in support of it (you can also look at the same countries). Therefore, that policy of Sahra W. is a typical left wing policy, as many others policies of her. Go educate yourself, left is not just about identity politics, and restrictive immigration is not enough to be right wing (liberals often support more immigration because they want cheap exploitative labour, and liberals are center to right, not left by any mean). You have no context in regards to "coexistence of people of different cultural backgrounds"? Well, work on it. You can easily find online even some CDU/CSU politicians saying that Muslims/Islam doesn't belong to Germany or something similar, but you won't find that kind of discourse from Sahra W -- because simply she is not a right wing conservative and her worries in regards to immigration belong to a different context. Open up for the views, perspective and experiences from the outside. Don't be an autistic victim of the parochial pseudo-intellectual German simplifications.

left wing usually in a social democratic way, purposefully detached from the authoritarian model from the soviets. the youtuber 'kraut' made a great video about the origins and what the "ideal" values of social democracy look like (video: "How Denmark invented Social Democracy"). Nowadays the left wing is defined mostly through pushing for social equality, climate policies and improved welfare. Germany has some tiny, tiny far-left parties that genuinely advocate for communism but they have VERY little support. Nationalist/populist far right has been gaining more popularity, however. hope that clears some things up! have a great day!

I am going to vote for the first time in Germany in this upcoming election. My political views align most closely with Die Grünen and Die Linke, but I have significant reservations about both parties. I am not happy about the decision to shut down nuclear power plants, leading to an increased reliance on coal power. This is just stupid. Moreover, while I initially supported Die Grünen's stance on Israel, their continued support has become unacceptable in my view, as Israel has gone way beyond just defending themselves and by this point they are complicit in Israels crimes. Conversely, my hesitation with Die Linke stems from their refusal to support Ukraine, alongside my discomfort with some extreme views held by a few of its members.

Then maybe the SPD might be a good choice for you? Most of the time when a proposal is approved in the parliament it's because it's a compromise between the the "three center parties" S&D (which the SPD is in) as well as Renew and EPP. I think this center block is a really good thing because it usually means that only reasonable decisions make it through that take multiple different views into account. Very one-sided or outlandish proposals usually don't get approved. I know that center leaning parties like the SPD are often perceived as "too compromising" but the ability to compromise is exactly what we need. Of course the ultimate decision is up to you. I just wanted to share the thoughts I had when I was reading your comment.

Nuclear shutdown in Germany was decided way before Grüne came to power and can't be undone realistically by any party. Also they just shut down multiple coal plants, so I don't see the increase reliance on coal power. With Linke we have to wait for there EU Program and so on to see what they want, because they just split and the pro-Putin and anti-Migrant people left to make their own Party, the BSW.

Research just a little under the surface shows that crickets are not just not worth eating (you need to eat a whole bucket to replace a steak), but they are also very dangerous because their chitine shell is not digestible and the crickets are one of the main carriers of diseases from Africa and Asia into Europe. And since one can't cook the bug the same way as meat, one is very likely to get a disease by eating crickets. The EU regulated that all products with bugs should have a sign, but I don't trust manufacturers to do it.

Sahra Wagenknecht is right wing especially because of her foreign policies? According to you -- exporting weapon to the racist right wing Israeli government and the authoritarian Saudi Arabia (particularly during ethnic cleansings) is a left wing policy, and being in general against weapon export and against military intervention is a right wing policy? 😅 Omg, education in Germany apparently sucks, but brainwashing is fabulous indeed. Sahra W. supported gay marriage, legalization of weed, she doesn't question abortion... supporting more restrictive immigration policies doesn't mean you are automatically right wing. In that case, SPD and Greens are suuuuper right wing considering their pro-war and pro-ethnic cleansing policies, and terrible restrictions of freedom of speech.

I really like these videos, but I would encourage you to use more neutral language when discussing policies. In this video on immigration you have the greens and SPD as “fair migration policies.” That being their stated position is fine, but from a 3rd party analysis providing a positive statement like that makes it seem like the positive policy from the watchers perspective, especially compared to the “very strict” terminology used for other parties which comes across more extreme and thus negative. Consider using another term for their less strict migration policies. Overall great video though, always looking forward to the next one!

However, the word “fair” can also mean something like “moderate or balanced” as the mid-point between “strict” and “loose or tolerant”, which hasn’t been used here. Myself, i would categorise the SPD as “fair” and the Greens as more tolerant in case of migration.

Electing Ursula von der Leyen as head of the European Commission will be disastrous.

Exista partide care au structuri mai top down, in care cei de la conducerea europartidului au putere mai multa asupra partidelor nationale, similar cu la noi partidul national are putere asupra celor locale.

I am super pro climate action and the highest degree of environmentalist. I study biology and frequently visit Cuba, the Dominican republic, the continental usa, parts of canada and other parts of europe to observe, photograph and study the biology if the region. This is of the utmost importance to me so supposedly i would vote left. But at the same time i am super frustrated with how immigration is handled to the point that i would almost vote right just to fix that. I see everyday German culture which i value and find quite beautiful being compromised by people who don't want to integrate. I don't even blame them, we don't have the time or resources because we take so many people in at a time that we can't help them on an individual level. Also Why would you intentionally just accept mass amounts of something that reduces safety around you and you're families, has anyone seen the brutal new report of how disproportionate foreigner and immigrant crime especially violent crime is when compared to naturalized germans. I'm not against immigration i myself am one, i am against mass immigration which has been happening for years now. Germany honestly can't affect climate at this point that is down to china, India and the usa but they can and are losing their culture and place on the world safety index quite easily. I am so hesitant on who to vote for because on one hand the right doesn't do enough for climate and the environment and the left wants to let the whole developing world into our beautiful country all at once. If anyone has some ideas please share.

We have party's that are "right" when you look at social politics but "left" left in there economic policies and the other way around. You really have to get more informed. Also the official crime statistics that just where released for the last year by the police does not back your claims of disproportionate violence. We are still capable of doing all the crimes, especially the extrem-right/Neonazis do be doing a lot of crime lately.

Thanks, I have looked into the parties policies and am now definitely recognizing that right and left in Germany are not easily observable. Their are many parties I find appealing so I just have to choose now. You are right that native Germans commit crimes of course but the report clearly shows disproportionately higher crime from migrants. Sweden is a good example too where it is even clearer because migrants make up sa larger share of the small population there. The native German crime number is only even that high for reasona that you mentioned neo nazi people. I think the 2 biggest threats to germanies safety right now are neo nazis which are rampant right now and violent single male migrants which are becoming increasingly abundant.

It will be better a man.
