Election victory of the CDU/CSU: A new chapter for Germany begins!

Salzburg, Österreich - After the latest Bundestag elections in Germany, the Union, led by Friedrich Merz, has achieved an overwhelming victory. Merz emphasizes that this success should prepare the way for a government that leads Germany into a stable future. The opposition cut off a lot while the SPD suffered new records. Green club chairwoman Martina Berthold interprets the election result as a need for ecological and social politics in Germany, even if her party had to accept losses. This reports orf.at .

The reactions to the result are consistently violent. ÖVP boss Christian Stocker and FPÖ boss Herbert Kickl congratulated Merz and the CDU/CSU on their result and pointed out the growing dissatisfaction of the voters who have torn a "hole of hope" in the unit parties. Katrin Berthold from the Greens sees the result of her German sister party at least as respectable, despite the violent headwind that they were exposed. The KPÖ congratulated its sister party "Die Linke" on an impressive voting night, reports Deutschland-wahl-oevp-fpoe-gruene-und-kpoe gratulated ">

reactions from Austria

The political situation after the elections draws a shadow on the direct election struggles in Austria. Johanna Mikl-Leitner, the governor of Lower Austria, hopes for a new priority setting in Germany, which could also influence Austria, especially with regard to economic issues. At the same time, Babler from the SPÖ is concerned about the rise of the AfD, which represents a dangerous development that goes beyond the German borders.

The KPÖ now sees itself in a strong opposition position and encourages the left in Germany to position itself as a central force in order to counteract social policy mismanagement in recent years. The choice shows not only the encounter between different political currents, but also the urgency with which the political actors have to react to the changed landscape.
