London. Laura K. Field hat ein Buch über die Wut geschrieben. In dem Ende vergangenen Jahres erschienenen Werk „Furious Minds“ der amerikanischen Politikwissenschaftlerin geht es jedoch weniger um Wutbürger als um wütende Köpfe.

Gemeint sind jene Intellektuellen der Neuen Rechten, die der „Make America great again“-Bewegung (MAGA) von US-Präsident Donald Trump den geistigen Überbau für eine Ideologie liefern. Diese exportiert die Trump-Regierung jetzt mit Geld und politischem Druck nach Europa.

„Die Trumpisten sehen sich als die wahren Erben der europäischen Zivilisation und wollen die Europäer über ihre eigenen Wurzeln aufklären“, sagt Field im Gespräch mit dem Handelsblatt.

AfD could become the strongest force in Saxony-Anhalt – government formation uncertain

According to the survey, the AfD in Saxony-Anhalt is at 42 percent and could become the strongest force, while the CDU, SPD and FDP suffer losses. A sole government by the AfD is unlikely because other parties rule out cooperation. Minority governments with left-wing tolerance or BSW initiatives are being discussed, but government formation remains uncertain due to parliamentary fragmentation.

Associations and municipalities come up against administrative limits when it comes to infrastructure projects

The Berlin football club Hansa 07 has been struggling for years with dilapidated infrastructure and bureaucratic hurdles in renovating its clubhouse. The “Pro Hospital Havelberg” association in Saxony-Anhalt, which is fighting for better medical care after the clinic closed, and the non-party mayor Jörg Neumann from Dabel in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania, who feels powerless when planning refugee accommodation, have similar experiences. They all report commitment that is failing due to official structures and warn of growing mistrust in democracy ahead of the state elections in September.

Merz calls for a realignment of the CDU with a focus on generational equality

CDU leader Friedrich Merz has called on his party to realign itself in terms of content after the elections in September and to change its mission statement from “prosperity for all” to “prosperity for all generations”. He emphasized the need for a new narrative, criticized the Union's current poll numbers and once again clearly distanced himself from the AfD by ruling out ethnic nationalism in Germany.
