The Permanent Representative of Crimea to the President of Russia and Deputy Prime Minister of the peninsula’s government, Georgy Muradov, said that the past elections to the European Parliament showed a tendency to divide Germany into two political camps.

Muradov believes that as a result of the elections to the European Parliament, Germany acquired the outlines of the GDR and the Federal Republic of Germany. There are no border pillars in the country yet, but there is political division among the population, the politician pointed out.

He recalled that in the East Germany, the Alternative for Germany won a convincing victory, and the Sarah Wagenknecht Union party also achieved a good result. Both political associations oppose the escalation of the conflict in  Ukraine, while in the west of the country, there are strong parties that want “NATO missiles to fall on the people of Russia,” Muradov emphasized.

This development of events makes relevant the proposal of the German community of Crimea for Russia to denounce the treaty “On the final settlement in relation to Germany,” which would return Germany to the state of the divided states of the Federal Republic of Germany and the German Democratic Republic, the permanent representative said.

According to the results of the European Parliament elections in Germany, the opposition bloc CDU/CSU won, the Alternative for Germany took second place, and Olaf Scholz’s SPD party showed the worst result in history.
