The German vote
CDU and Die Linke’s maneuver
Reaching the result was not easy. The early elections for the Bundestag had in fact risked sending everything upstream: the CDU/CSU undoubtedly won, but the success of the AFD and the doubling of the votes for Die Linke showed a clear change in the electoral orientation. While Merz negotiated the formation of a great coalition government, CDU and SPD have therefore orchestrated what could be interpreted as a sort of goal to create constitutional changes before the new Bundestag enters office.
This maneuver, however legitimate in terms of procedural point of view, legitimacy also confirmed by the German Constitutional Court which rejected the appeals of Afd and Die Linke, raises important issues on the health of western democracies and respect for the voting of the voters. This implies a critical observation on the concept of democratic legitimacy, given that the outgoing parliament had already received a clear sign of disapproval from German citizens. Meanwhile, however, the games are almost made. And Germany, after preaching (for others) austerity everywhere, is now preparing to spend and spangue. The world has changed.
