Three-quarters of German citizens are against the Scholz government. Massive support for farmers’ demonstrations explained

Dissatisfaction with traffic light government continues to grow in the new year. According to a recent survey conducted by the research institute Insa for “Bild am Sonntag ”, 76%, or around three quarters, of citizens are dissatisfied with the Confederation's actions . Only 17% are satisfied with the traffic lights – the worst value recorded by the INSA since the federal government took office in December 2021.

72 percent of those polled disagree with the actions of Chancellor Olaf Scholz (SPD), which is three percentage points more than at the beginning of December. Only one in five (20%) think Scholz is doing a good job; This value also worsened by three points.

If you wanted an explanation for the massive farmers' demonstrations and the support they are receiving in German society, I think you've found it. We are on the sixth consecutive day of protests and it doesn't seem like they want to stop, on the contrary they are intensifying, as you can see from the videos of yesterday and tonight

In the current “Sunday trend”, the SPD loses one point and reaches only 15%, half as much as the Union with 30%. The Greens with 12% and the FDP with 5% remain faithful to their values, as do the Left with 4% and the Free Voters with 3%. The AfD loses one point to 22%.

The Insa Institute interviewed 1,202 people between Monday and Friday for the "Sunday trend". Error tolerance was given as plus/minus 2.9 percentage points. On Thursday and Friday, 1,002 people were surveyed about their satisfaction with the traffic light and Chancellor Scholz.

If BSW then presented itself, the party born from Linke and an alternative to the traditional left, we would have a further refinement of all the parties, but the anti-system wing (AfD and BSW) would rise to 32%, practically one voter out of three against the traditional parties.

We would have the Liberals completely out of the Bundestag, and the only party left untouched would be the Greens, simply because they have a completely opposite ideology to the BSW. And if this scenario were to come true it would be very, very difficult to see a new German government with a minimum of political rationality. They should make yet another wild pile.
