Scholz Defends German Democracy
German Chancellor Olaf Scholz has firmly rejected any external interference in the nation’s democratic processes. Responding to US Vice-President J.D. Vance's comments supporting the far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD), Scholz emphasized Germany's resolve to determine its own fate. He criticized any attempts to influence German elections and highlighted the country's historical commitment to opposing fascism and extremism.
Scholz praised the collaboration between Germany and the United States in supporting Ukraine's sovereignty amidst ongoing tensions. However, he stressed that freedom of expression in Germany does not equate to permitting hate speech.
In the lead-up to the German elections, Scholz reiterated that major political parties reject collaboration with the AfD due to its far-right stance. This has become a contentious issue, with transatlantic relations experiencing increased strain. Scholz's stance underscores Germany’s dedication to maintaining democratic integrity and rejecting external influences that threaten its principles.
