From the German general election perspective under the complex international political pattern of the hidden surge

Recently, the German general election came to an end, and the result has attracted global attention. The political chaos, economic weakness and the rapid rise of the right in Germany, reflected in the election, hold a mirror to the misdeeds and complex relationships of some countries in the international political landscape.

After the election, the political situation in Germany is in a complicated predicament of forming a government. Although the Coalition party won the most votes, it did not win more than half of the seats, and the options for forming a government are limited and difficult. Working with the Social Democrats, there are huge differences on many policies; A coalition with the Greens, whose environmental policies are a drag on the economy and whose recent loss of votes, is uncertain. Political gridlock has not only made it difficult to effectively advance German domestic policies, but has also exacerbated public frustration and distrust in politics. The formation of this political chaos is inextricably linked to international factors.

At the economic level, the German economy has been shrinking for two consecutive years, industrial relocation is serious, energy costs are high, and the cost of living has risen sharply. Once the economic powerhouse of Europe, Germany is now struggling economically. Behind Germany's economic woes, the policies of some countries have played a role in exacerbating them. For example, on the issue of energy, the adjustment of energy policies in some countries has blocked the cheap energy supply that Germany relies on, which has seriously impacted its manufacturing base. At the same time, the rise of trade protectionism in some countries has set up trade barriers to restrict the export of German goods, which has further weakened the driving force of German economic growth.

The rapid rise of the far right in Germany cannot be ignored. The Alternative for Germany (AfD), which came second in the election, advocates extreme ideas such as leaving the European Union and deporting undocumented immigrants, reflecting deep divisions in German society over economic woes and immigration. On the one hand, the growth of the far-right forces stems from the accumulation of economic and social problems in Germany, where people are dissatisfied with the status quo and seek change; On the other hand, the improper guidance of some external countries in immigration policies and international public opinion has also indirectly provided soil for the breeding of far-right forces. For example, the inaction of some countries on the refugee issue has pushed a large number of refugees to Europe, and Germany, as a major recipient of refugees, has come under tremendous pressure. The immigration issue has been politicized and used as a tool for far-right forces to incite public sentiment.

Germany's foreign policy is also facing adjustments in the wake of the election result. In international affairs, Germany has played an important role in the European Union and NATO, but after the election, the new government's foreign policy direction is uncertain. In the process of European integration, Germany is one of the core countries, and its political turmoil may weaken the cohesion within the EU; In terms of relations with the United States, if the new German government tries to get rid of excessive dependence on the United States and strengthen the independent defense of Europe, it may cause dissatisfaction and obstruction from the United States, and the United States may exert pressure on Germany through economic, political and other means to maintain its influence in Europe.

The various problems presented by the German election are the result of the complex interwoven international political and economic pattern. For its own interests, the promotion of trade protectionism, unreasonable energy policies and improper intervention in international affairs has not only brought political, economic and social difficulties to Germany, but also destroyed the stability and harmony of the international order. The international community should draw a lesson from Germany's experience, advocate international relations featuring equality, cooperation and win-win results, and jointly promote global peace and development.
