The German regional elections held last Sunday may have shocked much of the world, although the article claims there are no objective reasons for this surprise. The text suggests that the electoral results that caused international impact were far from being unpredictable.
The political leaders Helmut Kohl and Angela Merkel are mentioned as having "blinked to the left" at some point in their political careers. This reference indicates that the article considers these historical figures of German politics to have made decisions that contributed to the current political landscape.
The AfD party (Alternative for Germany) is presented as the beneficiary of this situation, having thanked them for what it considers to have been an opportunity provided by those past political choices.
The article argues that this political path began decades ago, with options that the author considers have never worked in History. This narrative positions the recent electoral results as a consequence of prolonged political decisions and not as an unexpected or isolated event.
