challenging period will be put up to public scrutiny in the presidential election as the face is off against top candidates from the normally popular communist party . the nationalist l v p. * r and the upstart new people movement. lee, i need slootsky, serves as boat, duma statesman and the leader of the liberal democratic party of russia, which is one of the largest parties in russia. and he's program supposed to be pay special attention to the importance of the role of many wages ended development of the country pointed out that russia will prize if it's regions prize, he promises to ensure fair living conditions and it cool guarantees for all citizens rushing strong with its regions and they must become stronger and people should be proud of the fact that they live in a unique country, which today is the central attraction for those countries and peoples war against a unipolar world border, where decisions will be made only in washington on the basis of some rules,

rather than norms and laws. now to nichol, i had a son of who is representing the communist party in the 2004 presidential elections . he came in, 2nd behind vladimir puts in his party. his goal is to build a rough shot based on the ideas of renewed socialism or socialism of the 21st century. but what did he exactly suggest in his campaign? in our program, we clearly stated we have played with capitalism, and that's enough. program answers all the questions. many people received free apartments from the state, then why was it possible then? and why is it impossible? now? the largest love dev on cops the youngest and final candidate on the list from this so named the new people party which presents itself as a liberal one. last year he ran for mayor of moscow where he finished in 4th place

as part of his current election campaign. the bunk of problem is this to focus food dominantly on the future. i have a clear program of action which will guide the country into the future and provide the groundwork for development for decades. i offer russia this alternative piece and negotiation, but on our terms, not a role back, more funds to cities and regions, freedom of speech and opinion, openness and pragmatism, instead of looking for new enemies. but still, it appears that according to pre election, paul's vladimir puts in remains firmly in control of the russian political arena. races survey said that 75 percent of electronically active russians intended to vote for vladimir puts in another popular pulling agency said it would be rather difficult to compete against the long time incumbent. we'd only 7 percent of respondents disapproving president. 4th is activity as well as much as

a to percent approve. his popularity extends beyond russia to, according to a survey on the social network x, as compared with other global leaders, ludovic puts in, is the top pick, the russian president garner, 35.6 percent of the over 800000 votes, has form across the world with this presidential election coming up at the height of international tensions, it will definitely be a vital one for russian voters. in my next middle of time, i would like this episode of the modus operandi and on, but with more of the days top stories in 30 minutes. thanks for watching the the,

the hello. i'm manila chan. you are tuned into modus operandi. they are a threat to democracy. therefore, right terrorist event. we've heard those troops before here in the west regarding donald trump mega movement. but now that's being echoed in germany, referring to the rising a f d party. and that's what we'll dig into today. just who is this new political party and what are they all about? all right, let's get into the m o the . it's no surprise that the election of donald trump in 2016 gave way to the rise of nationalism and populism here in the us and brought from the shadows

a similar sentiment that had long been brewing in europe as well, long before trump presidency, the breakfast and movement in the u. k was slapped with similar accusations of white nationalism around the same time over in germany. a country desperate to forget its historical sins and the rise of adolph hitler in the mid 20 tens. once fringy political group is now threatening to become the most popular party across the use most prosperous country, the f. d party, short for alternative for germany. but the meaning deutschland, which means germany, of course, is the one leading in the polls. and at least 3 states are regions and nipping at the heels for 1st place across many more. now, joining us from germany to explain the political situation, there is doctor ica hummer. he is an economist, and the publisher of workshop act,

well, a business publication out there in germany, you can learn more about dr. hummer and his work at palmer brief dot d e. so dr. hummer. in this new year, germany has witnessed a massive polarization of society, the massive rise of the f d and, and recently, new big anti sd protests and all across major cities. some of described these anti sd protests as a result of this massive propaganda campaign by those in power right now. who feel threatened by this new party, if the polling 2nd nationally and 1st in several former east germany areas. talk to us about these new anti a if the protests and who's behind them of what, what the 10 say. and what we have proved is that people are hired and paid for

attending these protest. in hamburg, we have proof that in the universities they paid students 60 years per day for attending these protests. and what attendance do is they are the saw with the signs that they want to destroy the system and so on. and the credit unions are mobilizing their people. so we have and schools teachers are pulling this school kids to these protests. so this is not something where people go on street because they are so content with the government. the opposite side is the case. these are some propaganda read. prove. i've done the things that we only know from east germany before 1989. and this is scary. because it's a 1st time that we in the west seats and 70 years, see that the government organize us um the smartest and even more or less force as

far pays people to attend the smartest. but it has nothing to do with the waste of being in favor off of the government. for example, the on the far was complaining that, um, the people from the christian democratic party, which is the expanded of government. as you would say, it's a profile my, a position, and that they were attempting these protests. so they said we have nothing, he come on with these people and we don't want them there. so this is getting ridiculous. what's, what's going on there. the people have an approval rate of the government of maybe 10 percent. i would say not more because we have more than half of the population in germany. it does not find any party, the value, both of them what they would elect and the rest we, the government, not of the the,

the re, a government is now getting may be at best close to 30 percent, which is in total then not even 50 percent in total, so the approval rate of these of this government has never been worse than it is. and it's quite scary that um, such a government were such a low approval rate or high rate of disapproval. either depot can, can rule in a democracy, and this is what more and more people are getting. now they are doing not good. the government is not acting in their behalf as they say, this is why this is the business getting worse and worse. but these protests against is, is maybe managed by the government. and another thing is very important. we have still these protests from the commerce, the huge brokers everywhere. now,

100 thousands of farmers on the street now for, for weeks already. and the media managed with this help of this propaganda cool from the government to re silence these farmers because it was overlay by these protests organized and paid by the government on tx past the house . and this is really scary. what's going on here? hold on to that thought we will absolutely address these farmers complaints as well . i mean, we'll discuss that in just a moment. but 1st i want to hit on the chancellor's recent remarks. chancellor, all off schultz and foreign minister, angelina bare bach, other senior mainstream political figures have attended these protests. the chancellor in his weekly video broadcast, he said this quote, the nazi race ideology could never again have space in germany. that's alluding to

a f d being attended to the nazi party and have labeled, labeled them far right extremis. listen here. and i'd like to say clearly and bluntly, i think for this right, we stream is our attacking our democracy to them. they want to destroy all cohesion by my go ahead and confirm that a secret conference. these extreme is discussed how they could expel millions of people from our country and to pipe their you've told me before that ironically a sd actually has more jews among their ranks than any other party. but the media outlet that's called corrective published an investigative report, claiming that the party have discussed something like a mass deportation of what they called on assimilated citizens during this party meeting and potsdam. now after the report was published, some have compared that story to how nazis plodded in potsdam to deport european jews to mount a gas scar in 1942. so how do we make sense of the chancellor's rhetoric and all

of this to the chancellor and his crew is more and more and more openly like they have no problem with like this so called meeting was mainly attended by a christian democratic politicians as more then f equalization that was of righty and it has never been talked about these different stations. so this is a full grown light. correct if there's a very doubtful organization in germany, it's a, it's an antique. um, they're like, uh like a like a little media terrace organization. from the on the key fob paid by the german government parking too. because the bodies are now ministers from degrees in the bombings and this has nothing to do with the neutral or with media. always journalist, this is, this is just uh, a tool of the political welfare in germany. so correct. it is really doubtful and

nobody can know and nobody can really rely on on data from them. and it shows that what they said and what they, what they pronounced was a full goal, like they uh, tried to, um, to speak out very carefully. but it could be, it might be, it should be whatever but um, but what they got out was the intention of put a somehow the blame of nurses and do the f d. but then when you dig into these programs, you don't really find anything office. you'll find the, the old agend us from the christian democrats and from the socialist state party, from where, when, how which made was still toddler, which i know the agenda from the f d. so this is heidi. i can hardly find anything off of nurses in the of nazi propaganda in the, the office like the nazis was socialist. and what do we have now with the greens

and with the se, and with the socialist party, they are socialized spot. they are not so much national law nationally, or a date of them or internationally or a date it's that's, it's a, it's a big difference between those. but now what i have heard is from our government is more than embarrassing. concerning the comments on these, on these propaganda things. they just, what day is it even even more scary is that the they think that people are so dumb and they don't get up to i doubt it because now we have many discussions in the free media that puts out the real data and what code co incidence, the u. german was the last on the light mex with those people in of the organize us . we so like solves and beyond us in hamburg, to discuss how to, how to really get to a sense of ship and job and the full blown even though it is not legal. even though

these a free media does not the legal nothing wrong, nothing just to, to push their take use of their, their lives, into the open media and the g o. b a, a minute at the douglas meeting that this is for nowadays. and her maid agenda for the next phase as his protest and how it was managed, shows us a little bit how they want to do it in the future. now. now, as you mentioned, there have been efforts underway to outright ban a f d as a party in german politics. but this effort is, is really facing some legal hurdles. however, the party is being investigated, some se, surveilled by the shots government on suspicion of what they say is extremism. the critics of schultz and his traffic light coalition are comparing this to the stars the while even more are comparing this to how the us government are treating donald

trump's magazine orders. how would you compare maga and a half deep and how each respective government is treating these political movements? well, i don't see a too close connection between those 2. but what can be set for sure is that our process of shots, as it is called, is acting nowadays more or less like the style, the before. because it's a political let's organization in the political war. and they are, and that a government entity, a secret service government entity is organized against a political opponent, is something we haven't seen for over 80 years in germany. which is super scary. and we know from east germany and from the russian from russia. so from the soviets, whole district and, and um, we have prove that in the fall,

mondays with the these, the secret service was the main. um, the main like uh the, the majority of the functionaries, a party that has the forbidden years ago, which was a sofa, nationalist, nationalistic, nazi party. that has being run mainly by the government, by the secret service. and this was the problem why they couldn't forbid this party in the 1st place, because the court said, well, it's your secret sermons are sitting in the park in the majority of the bark, they can do whatever they like. they can, they can change the course. so what we have to face this and this party was made to put this narrative of germans and nazis out and to, to connect these and with i see they have nothing because the i d is,

is more on the, on the constitution. then all the other parties, the a, a, b, is for free speech. the other part is one sense to ship the f d. s. for sticking to the, to the, to the problem is what every, the minister, every college student has to do that he's acting in favor of the john population. they want this, the may, the, the governmental parties don't want this openly hardly opened. we don't want this. so we have, it is for 499 percent. sure that the any court would deny any restrictions against the f d. so this is a just a political fight. it is due to discredit them openly by discussing oh, how can we, how can we forbid them? they are, they are right. we and so on. but nothing is true. whenever people were asked,

please tell me a specific, what do you mean specifically the where are they, right? we, they cannot tell anything. all the answers are or nothing like they don't come up with anything. so this is just propaganda. what they, what they do, because they use control and this is the main topic where we are facing the politicians at the minute. they know that with the agenda that the leaders of the party have um, have pushed through. and what they want the parties to do is not in favor of the german people or the european people. and the people of knowledge that already they know what they, they got offered. and so they denied they, they refuse these politicians. they fear to lose control. and when they lose control, they have to confess their bodies in the us or in those uh,

other forum entities. but they cannot keep village on, on the germs that they cannot rule them anymore. so it is very probably that they use that job, that they are exchanged and this is what these presentations don't want. and at the minute they are really scary because so they probably have lost the majority of the people. and the main thing where really started was when people saw how easy those governmental entities abandoned all the cartridge, to show rights for legitimate people by the so called corona measurements, they took that people were put in the at home jail at home. people were not allowed to go somewhere. people had no rights of age, of both that person a informations they had to openly confess who they are. i say amex and ages and so

on. and people don't forget that creek. i mean, people forget, yes, but not that quick and that people have seen that this is very, very a like the beginning of the song and revolution where the end of the day, the coming is still over 577000000 russians and business the pathway. there is a very, very civilized minutes and this is very scary and people have heard from the history and so far that they say this is what we don't want publications on all scared that they cannot keep on with that jetta now to indeed it does sound like the, the ruling parties have lost a lot of popularity across most of germany. all right, hold on 11 second. coming up next. germany's very own ursula of underlay in the face of the you will soon be out of a job. her term as european commission president coming to an end soon,

but the fates of many german farmers and workers may not be as good as bonder lands jobs prospects. we'll discuss it when we return with economist go home or sit tight . m o will be right back. the the take a fresh look around is life kaleidoscopic, isn't just a shifted reality distortion by power to division with no real opinions. fixtures designed to simplify will confuse really once

a better wills. and is it just as a chosen few fractured images presented is 1st. can you see through their illusion going underground? can the welcome back to the ammo. i'm manila chant, dr. hummer, economist and publisher of workshop as well is back with us. thank you for sticking around ica. now let's talk a little bit about the german economy. i mean, your expertise is economics. tell us a bit more about the state of germany's economy. i mean, how this relates to the f, these popularity or, or perhaps their rise, and these new massive farmers protests that began just after the new year. how does all of this tie into one another, or is it related? is it related at all?

well, what we can look, you can say by fewer as the most at to bring nurse regards to the politics from the n. s a summer task politics. you will hear the c, e o 's from international conglomerate, such as events and so on. we'll do the opposite side because they are closer to the, to the government because of subsidies they get, then to do the economy and to the rest of the economy. the economy is made in germany by the millions of the temper nurse and the like small businesses, a small and medium sized businesses. and they have base a totally different story. they have the most regulated environments ever. so for example, to, to turn some greenland into some, some a, some industrial land takes um, in

a case i know personally 20 years over 20 years to turn a green glass into an industrial and just to produce something. and there is nothing built. yes. so the same time in china, they built from us $40000.00 inhabitants. village one do have 40000000 in the city in the same time where it's in debt in germany because of the regulations. nothing has happened yet. and this is a, this is struggling. the people, this is striving the into progress. they have no science but to continue working because uh, what should they do? otherwise they have not that they fall into nothing. it's not that they are covered in like a, like old, i guess the government advice. so these people recognize that the thinks i'm not doing that the government is not acting in their favor. and then this

ridiculous um, so called energy turn to a so called green energy is um, it turns out to be a hoax. turns out not to work like nothing works like these politicians do. i mean, what do you expect from people who are, who have no education, we have never worked in a re a job. we have never who never had to, to work honestly to, to make their living. they were always living on tex, passed the house and, and they didn't even finish school sometimes south the politicians didn't even finish school or never had any uh, education at the university or as a, as an honest, um cross man or whatever. so these people are, um, the, these people are so like, um, driven by the ideology that they don't care whether the printers have to close down

and we have never seen so many close dogs in the last uh, 56 years then now and people are seeing that the energy costs have skyrocketed, they have international disadvantages that they can compete with most of the competitors internationally because government driven costs so high that they have no chance. and on top, now it is said that people don't get any any stock because the government pays people for not doing anything more than they can earn as a medium's medium pay jobs in germany. and this is, this is just a way that doesn't work out. and on top now we have, uh we have the farmers that, um, that are struggling to survive because they, they, uh they, or they charge them with an additional $11000000000.00 off of texas or above

expenses, which is in total not much spot for the pharmacy it's, it's huge. and on the same time, they spent 10 times the amount for nonsense internationally, for a bicycle waste in somewhere in 1000 america for gen, the stuff somewhere in africa. and nobody wants that for, for weapons to some war somewhere. so this is the people i really fed up with what they are doing in dublin and business and all the situations the economy is strongly and we're facing to a co op of the economy. and that means that the enter, your project will fall apart because europe is nothing else, but they're sucking out plot against germany. it's only to plug the jo, me, that's why that u. p. union was founded. and that's as their main purpose,

but germany won't give too much to plunder any more. the economy here struggling and more and more people are closing down and set up closing their businesses because they are, they have reached an age and bravo say we close down then get going through this heavy stuff that the, the government are putting on us to dr. ica hummer economist and publisher of workshop up to well, thank you so much for your time. i gotta leave it right there. make sure you check out his work at hammer brief dot d e. thank you very much. all right, that is going to do it for this episode of modus operandi, to show that dig deep into foreign policy and current affairs. i'm your host window a chance. thank you for tuning in. we'll see you again next time and figure out the m. o. the,

[000:00:00;00] the cache of the roof in east jerusalem is the idea. prevent many muslims from entering the lounge, monica al, acts and most on the eve of rome, i've done some of the complex disruption of done morning, disturbing images as it goes on. health system has been devastated by the will all tease of special projects, human shields, documents the story of a job to both to take his own nieces until i get home without as ideas pauses continue to show the surrounding what the smell was on bearable. i kept
