Thanks for reporting on this! I have often considered subscribing to WELT, but then along comes the next nonsense (WELT might be doing this on purpose, as a rather clever way of sailing the shitstormy waters), and I refrain.

When Martenstein loses his column in ZEIT Magazine, I will cancel my ZEIT subscription.

A while ago, I was asked about my opinion on AfD and such, and I responded thus:

Interesting and nice to read. Txs Prof!

As you might know Meloni coalition won the majority of the last weekend local elections.

She's now thinking to change the Constitution to a Premier direct election to have even more powers.

But I'm sorry to say, our extreme right neo fascist Meloni and her right-center coalition are all but not for Putin at all. And they're not against any trash can or drug dealer. They're winning just because they are destroying more than what "leftist" have already destroyed of our State Institution and laws. They are lowering taxes for the richest, and I mean rich as the enriched medium class by tax evasion and avoidance, a class that has no culture, no skills and lately enriched by huge state helicopter money in the building sector.

They are more pro criminal Democrat Biden Administration than anybody else, with the exception of Mr. Berlusconi that loves Putin and Russian girls... XD

So I wouldn't put them as AFD or your FPO, but at the exact opposite.
