Far-Right AfD rises in Germany
FAR-RIGHT AFD RISES IN GERMANY by Paresh Nath, politicalcartoons.com
The cartoon depicts Germany's mainstream parties as a fracturing wall under assault from the AfD, portrayed as an extremist force with Nazi imagery. Published on September 10, 2026, it responds to the party's growing electoral strength and its impact on traditional coalitions ahead of key votes. The image shows a distressed mainstream figure atop the wall while the AfD arm breaks through from below, symbolizing how the party's advances erode established political structures. This reflects ongoing concerns about coalition stability and the mainstream's struggle to contain far-right momentum in German politics.

Germany Weighs Loyalty to Allies Against Reliance on Russian Energy
GERMANY AND RUSSIA by Gary McCoy, politicalcartoons.com
The image presents Germany as a traditionally dressed woman declaring loyalty on one side while embracing a motorcycle ride with Putin on the other. This reflects Germany's position in early 2022 as Russian troops massed near Ukraine and Berlin considered the Nord Stream 2 pipeline. Chancellor Olaf Scholz navigated pressure from NATO partners to support sanctions while managing Germany's heavy reliance on Russian natural gas and oil imports. The motorcycle plate and hammer and sickle symbol underscore the direct link to Moscow. The scene captures the policy bind over energy security versus alliance solidarity.
