German far right’s breakthrough moment
German politics will be dealt a major blow in Sunday’s election. It will be the first time in the country’s post-war history that an openly nationalist, xenophobic, revisionist and anti-European political force will sit in the national assembly. Projected to land in the low double digits, the Alternative for Germany’s share of the vote may appear modest compared to the reach of like-minded parties elsewhere in Europe.

Russian Hackers Can’t Beat German Democracy
Less than two months remain before Germans go to the polls in a general election. On the surface, this has been as regular an election season as can be: Parties have assembled their programs and teams, candidates have been out campaigning, and politics have mostly revolved around the classic issues: taxes, social benefits, public investment. Yet hanging over this appearance of normalcy is the question of when and how Russia will inject itself into the upcoming ballot.
Why the G20 violence is good for Merkel
BERLIN — Germans watched in shock and horror at the end of last week as violent protests broke out during the G20 summit in Hamburg, Germany. Against the backdrop of burning barricades, looted shops, riot police and water cannons, the gathering of two dozen world leaders looked almost like a sideshow. For Germans watching on television, the three nights of anarchy served as a dramatic reminder of the fragility of their country’s political and social stability.
Barack and Angela’s Tragic Romance
On what is his last tour of Europe this week, and what is likely to be his last major tour abroad, outgoing U.S. President Barack Obama has reserved a full two days for Berlin. This unusually long visit to the German capital is not a coincidence. It is here that he first became a figure of global importance when, in July 2008, the then-candidate mesmerized a crowd of 200,000 Berliners. It is here that he developed his strongest rapport with any world leader: German Chancellor Angela Merkel.

Paris attacks will be 'told-you-so' moment for Europe's far-right
Yet this outpouring of solidarity must not obscure another response across the continent. Leaders of Europe's far-right have been quick to blame Islam and immigration, mosques have been defaced in France and elsewhere, and a xenophobic movement called "Patriotic Europeans against the Islamization of the Occident" brought tens of thousands to the streets of Germany this week. This extreme strand of European publics and politics will likely receive a boost from the French tragedy.
