Saxony-Anhalt: Parties close to the Kremlin could achieve an absolute majority in state elections

In the state elections in Saxony-Anhalt on Sunday, a party is up for election that is not officially on the ballot paper but, if the opinion polls are correct, will achieve an absolute majority. This is the Kremlin or Putin party, whose unofficial supporters are divided between the AfD, the BSW and the Left.

Their candidates are pursuing a program that could have been formulated in Moscow, especially when it comes to the Ukraine war. They talk about peace, do not differentiate between perpetrators and victims in the war of annihilation or, like AfD co-leader Tino Chrupalla recently did, with the aggressiveness of a Kremlin spokesman, turn the situation around and take the side of the Russian aggressor.

This would once again complete the perpetrator-victim reversal

They deliberately ignore the fact that he has also been attacking our country for a long time now, using all means of so-called hybrid warfare, betraying the fatherland and following every move of Russian propaganda.

Artur Weigandt has just explained very clearly how this works in an article on ntv with a view to the drone attack on Leipzig Airport and its portrayal in the Russian media: First it is denied that there is evidence of Russia's authorship, then follows the "evidence reversal", in this case the claim that it was a "false flag" operation. Then the question arises as to who this would serve. The warmongering federal government, of course, which wants to continue supplying weapons to Ukraine and threatening Russia. So who is behind it? It is not Russia that is attacking Germany, but vice versa. This would once again complete the perpetrator-victim reversal. Tino Chrupalla parrots this just as much as Sahra Wagenknecht.

Meanwhile, the “Berliner Zeitung” provides a daily supply of Kremlin and AfD narratives, the latest of which is to sow doubts about the legality of postal voting. The newspaper run by “publisher” Holger Friedrich is adept at discrediting the free-democratic basic order and its institutions and, like the extreme right and left, passing it off as a fight for freedom.

Meanwhile, reputable German-language media are being faked online by the Russian so-called Operation Matryoshka and packed with propaganda. In the end, as Donald Trump's former advisor Steve Bannon said, the information landscape will be flooded with crap so that you can no longer tell the difference between right and wrong and truth and lies. The AfD got slightly over 40 percent in the election on Sunday and - according to the polls - is also far ahead of the CDU nationwide. That can only be right for Vladimir Putin.
