Berlin is expressing doubt about the European Union’s ability to withstand the rise of nationalist parties and the pressure from the Trump administration. This unprecedented skepticism in Germany has raised fears of lasting weakening, or even the gradual marginalization, of Europe as it exists today.



Is this “Germany” you are talking about in the room with us right now? Anti-EU sentiments are being amplified by right-wing populists. That’s all there is to know. There is no anti-EU sentiment among the democratic parties. Even right-leaning CDU party members know this would weaken Germany’s position in the world. Germany is an export-heavy economy and their military force is a joke (by design). Losing EU trade benefits and weakening ties to the EU allies would be extremely unwise.
Litterly. Even Merz is pro EU, may he be a scumbag, he atleast is pro EU
