Summary
European Parliament President Roberta Metsola expressed concern over the potential impact of Germany’s February 2025 elections, where far-right AfD and left-wing BSW are projected to achieve historic gains.
Metsola warned that rising populism fueled by anger over inflation, migration, and housing could reshape both Germany and the EU, urging pro-European and pro-Ukraine parties to unite.
She supports Germany delivering Taurus missiles to Ukraine, a divisive issue within Germany’s government.

Gross liberal disinformation.
left-wing, anti-migrant
This is an oxymoron. There’s almost nothing worse than conflating fascism with progressivism under the label of “populism”.
The BSW is neither left nor progressive. It’s a populist attempt to steal votes from both the left and the right with political views taken from both ends. And that might actually work out for them, because people looking to “protest vote” might view BSW as a less extreme alternative to AFD or a less left leaning Die Linke. Which is wrong in any case. Having the party leader name in the name of the party might give a hint on what this party is about.
