Germany's AfD in crisis after Saarland slump | Germany | DW.COM | 27.03.2017
Keywords:
Tags: Current Focus, France, Germany,
Results in the Saarland election show the AfD party with only 6.2% of the vote. The CDU is well ahead of the Social Democrats. This result shows that the support for the AfD is strongest in the east. With the refugee crisis not as big an issue as it was in 2016, and the larger effort put forward in push back by CDU/CSU and SPD in the western part of Germany, the AfD sees its support declining from the levels it had in 2016.

Germany's chancellor Merkel and the EU-Turkey deal in 2016 for Turkey to take back refugees crossing the Aegean sea into Greece
03/24/2016
The EU deal with Turkey is important for Merkel as she faces new provincial elections in 2017 with growing populist pressures and opposition from the CDU to refugee policy. Pressure also comes from the Social Democrats for expanding domestic welfare. Merkel still has a high approval rating of 54% in March 2016 as she works to forge a EU wide policy for refugees.

DW.com commissioned poll in August 2016 showing how Merkel's refugee policy is seen by the German public one year after it was announced
08/23/2016
About 51% agree it will strengthen the German economy, 45% disagree, the same numbers are seen for whether Germany's services for housing, education and healthcare will be stretched.

SPIEGEL ONLINE 11/25/2016
We took a different way to help millions around the world build educated informed mindsets that affects and shapes their lives. For a future that is open, global and digital, with everyone having access to high quality information. We believe in the renewal of America, renewal of Europe, the renewal of India, the rest of Asia, Latin America and Africa. The renewal of our supply chains, health, education, infrastructure, as we rebuild our countries after the pandemic. Literacy and knowledge we believe cannot thrive and grow in a world of web bots, web crawlers, or AI. This requires human curiosity, human learning, and human imagination. We take as inspiration the saying- “One has to be free, and as broad as sky. One has to have a mind that is crystal clear, only then can truth shine in it.” Every contribution whether big or small is precious- in this crisis and ahead.
