DISINFO: German election result known in advance
SUMMARY
Democracy in Germany is so ridiculous that everyone knows long before election day that Friedrich Merz will be the country's chancellor. Let's see how his relationship with the AfD, which is firmly in second place in the elections, will develop. But in any case, the overthrow of the establishment as a result of the elections will only aggravate the current political crisis
