+2,8 Grad Celsius – auf diese Erwärmung steuert die Weltgemeinschaft aktuell zu. Das unterstreicht der heute vorgestellte Emissions Gap Report der Vereinten Nationen. Im Vergleich zu Prognosen vor dem Pariser Klimaschutzabkommen ist das weniger schlimm, aber immer noch scheiße.

Visualized here. Hot tip for journalists: the real question isn’t why Wilders lost, but why the far right has consolidated — despite Wilders's ineffectiveness in government.

On the “defeat” of the far right in the Netherlands 🇳🇱
The total number of far-right seats in the Tweede Kamer:
2021: 28
2023: 41
2025: 42 👈
And I don’t even count BBB here, which has radicalized significantly in the last year.

🗳️ First exit polls from the Netherlands: Wilders’ PVV appears to shrink from 37 to 25 seats. Make no mistake — the far right remains strong. Support hasn’t disappeared; it’s shifted across parties. The Dutch political landscape is more fragmented than ever — and the far right is no exception. 🇳🇱

Anti-immigration demonstration in the Netherlands escalates. This is exactly what happens when far-right ideas are tolerated and normalised over an extended period of time. The far right gains confidence and grows, both at the ballot box and in the streets.

The far-right majority in the Dutch parliament (BBB-FvD-JA21-PVV-SGP-VVD) has just designated “Antifa” a terrorist organization.

In #Germany, a watershed moment: Just hours after commemorating the Holocaust, the centre-right has accepted the support of the #farright #AfD to pass a (largely symbolic) motion against immigration, tearing a massive hole into the so-called 'firewall', Germany's variety of the cordon sanitaire.

Dass die meisten Statements des AfD Parteitags auf programmatische und diskursive Annäherung von CDU/CSU an AfD verweisen, zeigt einmal mehr wie solches Mainstreaming extrem rechten Parteien nützt und aufgegriffen wird, um es als leeres Versprechen zu bezeichnen und die eigene Position zu stärken.
