An Afghan refugee on Thursday morning, a car called “Islamist orientation” of the police in a crowd in Munich. A 2-year-old girl and his mother was killed, about 40 were injured.
A day later – in a country where the main election issue of migration – it attack It was no longer the largest news story in the city.
German news media and most of the country's political administration, sinking themselves greater Western leaders in the Munich Security Conference on the Trump management in a blizzard of the foreign policy.
Annual meeting ended on Sunday, left many Germans trying to influence the vote in the next parliamentary elections of the Trump According to the public to block German politicians away from the government.
German leaders worried Munich in relations with the United States, because the Trump Office has released its relations as Icing Europe, which is now overcome on the peace plan for Ukraine.
The attack on the conference, Mr. Trump and his policies, in the last part of Germany, the country's immigrants and refugees and refugees were put in the center of the last week.
The main article on the front page of Munich's largest newspaper, milkdeutsche Zeitung, Saturday, Vice President JD Vice was shown a picture of JD Vance deliver a speech To criticize Europeans amazing participants at the conference. “Unidiplomatic ad”, read the title.
In the speech, Mr Vance called on German leaders to allow Germany to enter the Federal Government, none of the main parties Management with herIn particular, some members were accused of using Nazi slogans.
Sümdeutsche Zeitung's front page also a picture from the attack site, but the accompanying article ran inside the paper. Another German news, Mrance's appearance and other Trump management was full of stories moving in Munich.
The coverage pointed to a clear slip: By the end of this week, the President of the American president took care of many Germans. But he really had a problem with the Chancellor.
He is now.
Everyone can take advantage of new attention to Mr. Trump. The actions of his leadership gave platforms to several leading batches. These are alternatively alternatively to Germany, known as Germany in Germany, called Mr. Vance from Mr. Vance.
However, they also include Olaf Scholz, which is the opportunity to have the opportunity to make a sudden project in the survey and sitting in the fourth place or in the fourth place, but a sudden project with a diplomacy project. The same thing, the survey was the same for Christian democrats and their Chancellor candidates, for Friedrich Merz.
Mr. Merz and Mr. Scholz, Mr. Scholz held their time in the Munich conference, told Mr. Trump and his team to be out of the German policy.
“There is an elephant in the room here and the Elephant is the Atlantic relationship,” Mr. Merz said on Saturday in response to the question of the Munich Panel Moderator.
The Germans respect the American elections, “and we expect us to do the same here.”
The German Council participating in the conference, Germany's “deep historical practices with fascism”, “President of American Council Steven E. Sokol said.” Vance system was shock. “
However, Mr. Sokol is seen “seeing the effects of the upcoming elections”. “
The German campaign was relatively short, especially by American standards. In November, early elections were called after the last management coalition. After a slow strike, the competition was really revived in life in January.
By the end of this week, the candidates mainly migrate and focus on them The stagnant economy of Germany. Leading bidders for Chancellor, including Mr. Merz and Mr. Scholz, are mainly the best for managing millions of shelter seekers in Germany, which are mainly government expenses and borrowing laws.
The first big Shake in the race Last month, an Afghan immigrant to be deported and used a knife trying to intervene a knife that suffered from mental illnesses and uses a knife. The murders did not exceed a doctor in Germany after a Saudi immigrant Six people died in the market of Christ Magdeburg threw his car after a crowd and other knife attacks.
Mr Merz, tearing taboo, quickly pushed an migration invoice in parliament, can only vote in the parliament. Protests have occurred in Germany, giving such an opening to AFD Mr Merz became useless In surveys.
Before noting Mr Trump, the political race remained very static. But in recent days, there is a potential for a dramatic swing. One-third of the Germans told the polkers that they will be able to change their minds before election day – the parties to pass or not to vote at all.
AFD, more than 20 percent support, sites in the second place in the surveys behind the Christian Democrats. In December, several support points, a trend starting before the Christmas market, but made a lot of effort in the new year. Last questionnaires Recently from Elon Musk, Mr. Trump'ın billionaire consultant, despite the high-profile approval, this year ago, this was returned to the vote a year ago a year ago.
For several days for the surveys, it will take several days to get the effect of the first attack from the latest attack and the first attack in the Munich Conference.
It was clear that the Trump News at the conference immediately poured into German politics. The best German political figures, Mrance and Mrance and Mr. Trump re-evaluated their performances or panel's records. AFD's candidate for Chancellor Alice Weidel, Mr. Vance's remarks and Trump leadership was alone.
Before diving the expanded government's debt and military spending plans, Mr. Scholz, Mr. Scholz, said that Europeans are not included in the “firewall”, “said the parties following the AFD. “We will not accept the outsiders who intervene in our democracy,” he said.
He added: “It's not in harmony, especially not among friends and allies.”
Currently, the candidate, Mr. Merz, said that the panel appearance on Saturday, the appearance of Panel, the European police are time to stop the police. In addition, Mr. Trump's trade policy, including new tariffs in Europe, also went.
Mr Merz, as a potential weight in Europe in Europe, as a future weight of the conference, has tried to throw himself as a message that is in German voters.
“I completely agree to all those who require more management from Germany,” Mr. Merz. “I'm ready to do it too.”
