German political landscape has become as unpredictable as Liepāja Theater's repertoire
AfD has caught up with CDU/CSU in polls, proving that in politics, just like in theater, sometimes the villain suddenly becomes the lead role.
A sensational political shift has occurred in Germany - the "Alternative für Deutschland" party has caught up with the traditional conservatives from CDU/CSU in polls, each gaining 26% support. This is as surprising as if Liepāja Theater suddenly started selling out tickets for every show, with even Riga residents traveling to watch.
While politicians in Riga are still trying to figure out how to overcome the 5% threshold, Germany is already experiencing a real political opera. SPD with its 14% resembles some aging actor who still hopes for the lead role, but audiences have long since switched to other genres.
The Greens with 12% and the Left with 11% are like theater extras - present, but not particularly noticeable. Local Liepāja Theater visitor Valdis comments: "Well, at least in our shows we know who has the lead role and who are the supporting actors. These Germans, it seems, haven't read the script yet."
Compared to February's elections, when CDU/CSU were unbeatable leaders with 28.5%, the current situation resembles a theater season when the director suddenly changes and all actors start playing different roles. AfD's growth from 20.8% to 26% is as dramatic as if Liepāja Theater suddenly started showing only comedies.
