Brussels is in fast decline due to 20 years of socialist policy. Criminality, drugs, poverty, illegal migration, police demotivation… are a horrible mix.
We want our capital back!

7th AfD Politician Confirmed DEAD - German Elections Nightmare

Six candidates from Germany’s right-wing AfD die weeks before election, sparking conspiracy theories
Six members of Germany’s right-wing AfD party have died within weeks of each other, sparking conspiracy theories despite assurances from authorities that no foul play was involved.
The remarkable series of deaths in the western state of North Rhine-Westphalia, weeks before local council elections in Germany’s most populous state, has sparked chaos and widespread speculation online.
Four AfD candidates died — Ralph Lange, Wolfgang Klinger, Wolfgang Seitz and Stefan Berendes — requiring ballots to be reprinted ahead of the September 14 vote.
It later emerged that two AfD reserve list candidates, René Herford and Patrick Tietze, had also died.
German police and the North Rhine-Westphalia Interior Ministry say there is no evidence of foul play in any case, with the cause of most of the deaths already determined.
But the deaths have nevertheless raised eyebrows.
On Sunday, AfD leader Alice Weidel shared a post on X from economist Stefan Homburg, a supporter of the party, describing the cluster as “statistically almost impossible”.
“Four AfD candidates have died,” Ms Weidel wrote.
US tech billionaire Elon Musk, who has endorsed the AfD’s anti-immigration policies, amplified Professor Homburg’s post, replying simply, “!!”
“Either Germany votes AfD, or it is the end of Germany,” he also said.
AfD deputy leader Stephan Brandner, a member of parliament from the state of Thuringia, told Politico’s Berlin Playbook podcast on Tuesday it was “statistically striking and difficult to explain at the moment”.
“I’ve never heard of politicians from a party dying in such a short period of time before an election,” Mr Brander said.
However Kay Gottschalk, AfD’s deputy state leader in North Rhine-Westphalia, was more circumspect. “What I have at the moment … at least does not confirm these suspicions,” he told Politico.
Mr Gottschalk added that he wanted the deaths to be examined “without immediately getting into conspiracy theory territory”.
The deaths were put on the agenda at Monday’s federal executive board meeting by Ms Weidel, but there was no speculation about possible causes, a board member told the publication.
Mr Lange, 66, an AfD candidate in Blomberg who died on August 28, and Mr Klinger, 71, an AfD candidate in Schwerte, both had pre-existing health conditions, an AfD spokesperson told Politico.
Police said both men died of natural causes and no investigation had been initiated, the Die Welt newspaper reported.
Mr Seitz, 59, an AfD candidate in Rheinberg, also had pre-existing health conditions and suffered a heart attack, according to Politico.
Police said they had opened an investigation in Mr Seitz’s death. “This is nothing unusual, however, it’s standard practice when the cause of death is initially unclear,” a spokesperson told Die Welt.
Mr Berendes, 59, an AfD candidate in Bad Lippspringe, reportedly died of natural causes. Police told Die Welt there was no indication of outside involvement and so no further investigation would be conducted.
His cause of death is being kept secret for privacy reasons. The city council announced that his death had invalidated 133 absentee ballots.
Foul play was also ruled out in the deaths of the two reserve list candidates, both from the Oberberg district. Mr Herford had a pre-existing liver condition and died of kidney failure, while Mr Tietze took his own life, according to Politico.
Replacement candidates have already been announced in most cases.
The Interior Ministry has pointed out that AfD is not the only party to be affected by deaths before the elections.
Eleonore Jüssen, 71, a Social Democratic Party (SPD) candidate in Bad Münstereifel, and Karl Reger, a Green Party candidate in Hellenthal, also died last month.

Ratskin having a fit over Farage, kek.
Reportedly so, like Tousi or not, he doesn't seem to make mistakes often. Still looking for other confirmation. 6/7 deaths in 13 weeks for one party in an upcoming election (that are expected to have made good headway since 2022) is pretty strange.
"You can say what you want about me" that's free speech.
Central casting? Kek
