WaPo: In Germany’s elections, a last, best chance to hold off extremists

The left leaning WaPo warns of the new far right in Germany and sees a big win for the AfD but excludes that rhe AfD will be part of the next German government.
WaPo does not warn of the far left and the extreme Greens which so far were part of the Scholz government and mainly responsible for Germany’s decline. Of course, WaPo still follows the Biden feftist green agenda re Germany.
The outcome of the German election in 2 weeks is still uncertain. The majorities need just small shifts and a completely different political landscape results.
A 30% CDU and a 20% AfD will have a majority to form the government, and no other coalition seems then possible then. Will they call again for new elections?
With slight variations, a coalition of CDU, SPD and Greens may be possible otherwise.
WaPo is attacking the AfD strongly, mainly with hints on Hitler and “Mein Kampf”. There are most certainly neo-nazi elements in the AfD, as there are communist and extreme left radicals in the Greens and SPD. But should these parties be excluded because of some or a few radical lefties or nazis while the majority of their members and representatives are constitutionally moderate or conform? Being in the government changes often speech and actions and real politics demand adapted behaviour. If those radicals cannot adapt, a coalition breaks, like it just happened in Germany where the Greens turning extremists were unsupportable to remain a part of the government.
WaPo should point to the risk which represent a new Green participation in a new government: the terrible situation as described by WaPo will just get worse, and Germany may turn from the “Sick Man of Europe” to the “Dead Man of Europe”. A large CDU replacing the small Liberals, who are not expected to get sufficient votes, will not make a difference. As long there is a Green participation, Germany’s outlook is negaitive.
