Ten days are left to the national elections for the Bundestag, called in the wake of a no-confidence vote after the collapse of Olaf Scholz's ruling coalition last November.

There is a lot on German plates right now and a ton of anxiety on the part of formerly comfortable centrist/center-left parties for whom elections were basically perfunctory exercises.

A rising populism in response to their decades of indulgence in the most extreme and radical versions of progressive schemes from NetZero to unfettered immigration without assimilation has knee-capped the once mighty German industrial state, devastated economic growth, and endangered its citizens while destroying their standard of living.

More and more, as events unfold, Germans are signaling they want not just their country back but their Germany back, even as the ruling elites who have brought them to this state chastise and warn them of the dangers of feeling like Germans.

Fueling much of the resentment has been the waves of immigrants who have flooded unhindered into the country and the 'cultural differences' they have brought with them that have impacted the lives of everyday Germans adversely across the country.

A huge measure of the popular appeal of Alice Weidel's Alternative for Germany (AfD) is their tough-on-immigration rhetoric, which has been non-existent until recently from the other mainstream parties. AfD wants the borders slammed shut, the illegals deported, their extensive state benefits shut off, and criminal immigrants prosecuted, not coddled.

Until AfD began picking up real steam in regional elections, Scholz's Social Democrats (SPD) and Freidrich Merz's (and Merkel's) Christian Democrats (CDU) - in concert with some combination of Greens and Free Democratic Party (FDP) - held onto power for years. They could easily fend off what is continually characterized as the 'far right wing' while using German state orifices like the courts to go after individual AfD members and media outlets to squelch their message and keep them off ballots 'legally.'

The economic state of affairs and thousands of ill-behaved, ungrateful newcomers to German soil those parties wanted to protect were doing nothing to vindicate such devotion, however. Germany has swooned into a deindustrial slump that looks near fatal, and the 'immigrants'?

They seem to be daring the German people to vote for AfD.

Days after Scholz lost the 15 December no-confidence vote, a Saudi psychiatrist drove into a festive holiday crowd at the Magdeburg Christmas Market, slaughtering six and wounding, some horrifically, over three hundred. 

German authorities announced on 20 January that they wouldn't be prosecuting it as a terror attack because, as they put it, the murderer was 'confused.'

Two days later?

...An Afghan refugee attacked a KINDERGARTEN group with a knife, exposing the 'weakness' of the German elites. The reaction and response exposes it further.

...Herrmann said the suspect had entered Germany in 2022. His asylum claim was unsuccessful and he was supposed to have left the country late last year.

The suspect had a history of violent behavior and was undergoing psychiatric treatment by the time his asylum case was denied.

The suspect's accommodation at an asylum center was searched. Investigators found psychiatric medication but no "evidence of a radical Islamist attitude."

A two-year-old was slaughtered with a knife in a park, but the Afghan who did it was just crazy, so, again...sorry about that. 'Nothing we can do about it.'

We are now three weeks removed from that, a week and a half from those elections, and I woke up to this ghastly news, from Munich this time.

Gosh. You'll never guess who...AGAIN.

And, AGAIN, those darn 'motives' are unknown.

An Afghan migrant has driven a vehicle into a left-wing Ver.di demonstration in Munich, killing one and injuring at least 20 people right before national elections.

Ver.di serving as the largest service sector union in the country. The attack will surely send political shockwaves through the country.

I'll bet he's just one of those 'crazy' immigrants - you can't do anything with them, you know?

And 'political shockwaves'?

That remains to be seen and depends on how much information is released to the German people.

Police say the suspect is a 24-year-old Afghanistan national who has been apprehended at the scene of the incident, which the authorities believe was intentional.

At least 28 people have been injured in Munich after a car drove into a crowd of demonstrators near the city's centre, police said.

The driver, identified as a 24-year-old Afghanistan-born man currently in Germany as an asylum seeker, was arrested on-site and posed no further danger, authorities confirmed.

Bavaria's Minister President Markus Söder said the incident was "presumably an attack". He added that it appeared there were some dead among the victims. Munich's mayor Dieter Reiter said that "many people have been injured, including children."

A police spokesperson said that the car approached a demonstration organised by Verdi, one of Germany's largest trade unions, from behind, before overtaking a police vehicle and ploughing into the crowd.

Fox's Trey Yingst was on the scene shortly afterward. There is a high-level security conference due to start in the city and he was already on site for that.

The squeamish sisters among media were already doing their standard CYA job - lots of 'cars' and 'vehicles' driving into crowds of their own accord if you get my drift.

No, you idiots, the “car” didn't do that. The Jihadi driver of the car did that...

However, there are more details in some of these updated news reports than I have seen in those from earlier attacks, so that is a kind of surprising change.

I mean, here is Reuters just a few hours later.

...Police in the southern city said a car approached police vehicles stopped by a demonstration held by the Verdi union before speeding up and hitting people.

The suspected attack throws security back into the spotlight before a federal election next week following several other violent attacks.

It also came hours before leading international figures, including U.S. Vice President JD Vance and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy, were in the city for the high-profile Munich Security Conference, which starts on Friday.

"It was probably an attack," Bavaria state premier Markus Soeder told reporters.

'Probably.'

And in one last insult to all the injuries, German authorities can hang their heads and do the meme AGAIN about this latest, murderous  'asylum seeker.'

HE WAS ON OUR RADAR

MORE - According to the police, the driver involved in the Munich attack is a 24-year-old asylum seeker from Afghanistan who is known to the police for drug and theft offenses and was required to leave the country.

Ten days.

Do Germans have the intestinal fortitude to change this or not?

Our most fervent and warmest prayers for a quick recovery to everyone injured today and our condolences to the family who lost their loved one.

Beege UPDATE: Yeah, definitely 'on their radar,'a BIG social media presence, as well as allowed to stay in the country even after being ordered deported.

Today at 10:30am near Stiglmaierplatz in Munich – not far from my old apartment – a 26 year-old asylum seeker in Germany named Farhad Noori1 drove his Mini Cooper into the rear of a Verdi trade union demonstration. He evaded the marchers’ police escort and ran down 28 people, before officers opened fire and managed to subdue him. Two of Noori’s victims, a mother and her young son, ended up under his car. The young boy had to be resuscitated on-scene by emergency responders and it is uncertain whether he will live.

...Noori fits what is by now a well-established pattern: He is a native Afghan who came to Germany in 2016 with the rest of the Merkel wave; he was known to the police for theft and drug offences; after the Federal Office for Migration and Refugees rejected his asylum application, he received a visa of tolerated stay anyway.

Like al-Abdulmohsen, the Christmas market attacker, Noori also had a large social media presence, with 68,000 followers on Instagram and another 33,000 on TikTok. On Instagram one finds pictures he posted last year of himself standing next to the Mini Cooper used in today’s attack:
