Joschka Fischer: Rising Nationalism Could End the EU and the Euro
Former German Vice-Chancellor Joschka Fischer warns that the success of far-right parties in France and Germany threatens a European nightmare scenario. Following the Alternative for Deutschland (AfD) gaining significant support in Saxony-Anhalt, Fischer highlights risks to NATO, the EU, and the euro. He notes the collapse of the CDU and blames Chancellor Friedrich Merz’s coalition for political instability. With weak economic growth and stalled reforms, Fischer argues that internal crises in both France and Germany could destabilize the EU's core partners.
