Shock about the AfD election success: Josef Schuster warns of right -wing radicalism

The President of the Central Council of Jews, Josef Schuster, expressed his horror for the AfD's election success in the Bundestag election in an emotional reaction. "Although this result was to be expected according to the surveys, this evening I am also terrified of the AfD election success, which doubled its vote in just three years," said Schuster in an interview with the "Welt". Schuster is particularly concerned about the fact that a fifth of the German voters of a party that "linguistically and ideologically open connections to right -wing radicalism and neo -Nazism" gives their voice.

difficult government formation expects

The AfD has mobilized numerous voters with populist and sometimes right -wing extremists in recent years, which has significantly changed the political landscape in Germany. Schuster emphasizes that this development could also be problematic for future government formation. "Today's election evening gives an idea of difficult government formation," he warned, and appealed to all political actors to be aware of their responsibility for a stable government. "We need realistic solutions from the political center for the pressing problems of our country," continued Schuster, emphasizing the need to maintain social cohesion and to counteract the division.
