kriegspartei

About This Trend

Kriegspartei refers to a state directly involved in armed conflict as a belligerent.

Why is it trending?
The term is gaining attention due to recent political debates in Europe, particularly involving the FPÖ (Austrian Freedom Party) and statements by Friedrich Merz of Germany's CDU. The FPÖ has proposed cutting financial support to Ukraine, labeling it a 'Kriegspartei', while Merz has emphasized that Germany must avoid becoming one. Discussions about neutrality, military involvement, and diplomatic solutions to the Ukraine conflict are driving the trend. Political figures and media outlets are widely covering these developments.
