Germany: "More enthusiasm leads to more calmness" - This Merz advisor recommends less fear of the AfD

In Berlin, a popular morning spot for politicians, media figures, and various groups, a new message is emerging that could benefit the country. Jens Nordalm, a Merz consultant, advocates for a shift in mindset, suggesting that more enthusiasm could lead to greater calm. Nordalm points to Eduard Graf von Keyserling, a notable figure who, though often overlooked, possessed a calming influence.

Nordalm believes that emphasizing Keyserling's spirit could help mitigate risks to German democracy. After a cup of tea, Nordalm proposes that Germany should focus more on its cultural and intellectual heritage. He believes that by doing so, the nation will automatically improve.
