YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

German Chancellor Olaf Scholz opened his speech at the Munich Security Conference with a sharp rebuke of far-right and anti-democratic forces, sending a strong message of opposition to Germany's AfD party and anyone from abroad who supports it.

It was a clear message directed at the US and Donald Trump's administration, whose main advisor, billionaire donor Elon Musk, has openly declared support for AfD.

Scholz said in Munich that Germany would not accept outside intervention in its elections. "That is not appropriate — especially not among friends and allies," he added.

The German Chancellor said that the defense of democracy against fascism and authoritarianism has been the foundation of the transatlantic relationship and called for maintaining this principle.
