What happens then?
voice-verified
Yeah.
voice-verified
And the firewall is basically an agreement between the mainstream parties.
voice-verified
Whereby they've all decided that they won't work with the AFD at any level.
voice-verified
And that means that they basically will cobble together whatever coalitions they can to keep the AFD out of government, which some would say is an increasingly indefensible position given the numbers.
voice-verified
Yeah, it feels like an establishment stitch up to uh uh to use the language of the right.
voice-verified
Yeah, and
voice-verified
Given that the AFD are now polling so well.
voice-verified
Is that a sign that the firewall has failed, do you think?
voice-verified
that have just bought the telegraph, yes.
voice-verified
Well
voice-verified

Let's talk about what could happen after these elections on Sunday.
voice-verified

voice-verified
Mecklenburg vor Parmen.
voice-verified
where the AFD are expected to do quite well.
voice-verified
Quite surprising to many people, I think if they do well in Berlin.
voice-verified
But but are are the AFD just an East German phenomenon?
voice-verified
Or are they getting enough support in the West, which could mean that realistically they could challenge at the federal level in the elections in twenty twenty nine?
