The results of the latest survey show that the majority of German citizens want the resignation of Olaf Schultz, the Chancellor of Germany, and the appointment of the current Minister of Defense in his place.
Afghan Voice Agency (AVA): According to "Tags Spiegel" newspaper, the results of the latest INSA poll show that the vast majority of German citizens want the resignation of Olaf Schultz, the Chancellor of Germany.
According to this, almost two-thirds of the German people want the chancellor to change from Olaf Schultz to Boris Pistorius, the German defense minister.
According to the poll commissioned by Bild magazine, 64 percent of citizens want the defense minister, who has recently topped the list of the most popular politicians, to serve in the legislative period that lasts until 2025. , to replace Schultz at the head of the government.
The results of this survey show that 25 percent disagree with this issue and 11 percent said they were unaware. However, such a change is generally considered very unlikely.
According to the results of the poll, a somewhat more likely scenario, a duel between Schultz and Friedrich Mertz, head of the rival Christian Democratic Party, would almost certainly favor Mertz, with 26 percent preferring him if the chancellor were elected directly by citizens. 23% will vote for Schultz and 43% want neither of them.
But with Pistorius in the race, the results will be reversed: 25% for Pistorius, 23% for Mertz as chancellor, and again an overwhelming majority (39%) for neither. However, in reality, the chancellor in Germany is not directly elected, but by the Bundestag. Even among supporters of the Social Democratic Party, more respondents are in favor of such a change in the chancellor (47.9 vs. 47.1%).
Recently, there have been many unrests in Germany. On the one hand, there are the angry protests of the farmers and their recent attack on Robert Haubeck, the chancellor of Germany. On the other hand, due to such actions, there is a growing concern about the cohesion of the society, about the radicalization of some environments and also about the stability of democracy.
The concern is fueled by polls showing the far-right Alternative for Germany party, which is partly classified as far-right, could become the strongest force in state elections in Thuringia, Saxony and Brandenburg in September. In last October's state elections in Bavaria and Hesse, the far-right party had already made significant gains, achieving results that exceeded the potential for right-wing parties in Germany.
The results of another recent survey commissioned by Die Site showed that, according to many Germans, the new year is the year in which the government coalition known as Traffic Light consisting of Social Democratic parties, Greens and Liberal Democrats collapses. Accordingly, according to the majority of Germans, the traffic light coalition will no longer be in charge of the government at the end of next year.
These conditions are in favor of the extreme alternative party for Germany, and in the current year this extreme party hopes to make more gains in the European elections in June and especially in the state elections in September (Saxony, Thuringia, Brandenburg).
The results of another recent poll on the popularity of German politicians also showed that Olaf Schultz, the German chancellor, is the biggest loser of the year, and his popularity is even lower than that of the leader of the extreme Alternative for Germany party.
In this situation, seven out of ten German citizens are worried about democracy in Germany. This is the result of an online survey conducted by the opinion research institute Sivy among about 5,000 German citizens aged 18 and over. Based on this, 72% of the participants responded positively to the question: Do you think democracy is in danger in Germany?
Accordingly, about one fifth (21%) answered negatively, seven percent are undecided. Concern about democracy is as high in the East (74 percent) as in the West (72 percent). The results of this survey show that 20 percent of the surveyed people expect that Germany will experience another form of government other than democracy in this century.
The emergence of authoritarian, right-wing and extreme right-wing forces can be seen at the international level. A possible shift to the right is expected in the European elections in June. In Holland, right-wing populist Geert Wilders celebrated an election victory at the end of last year. Observers warn that Donald Trump's re-election victory in the US presidential elections in November could seriously undermine the Western model of democracy.
Support for democracy is high among the German population, according to an exclusive survey by Sivi. When asked "Do you want Germany to remain a democracy in the future?" 91% of the participants answered yes and 83% also stated that they consider democracy to be the best form of government.
However, there is a regional difference here: while 87 percent in the West German federal states consider democracy the best form of government, only 70 percent do so in the East German federal states.
