The AfD conquers the East Germans: election objects in the Bundestag!

Vienna, Österreich - The Bundestag election is decided and the results draw a dramatic picture of the political landscape of Germany. The AfD has established itself as the strongest force in all five East German federal states and doubled with 20.8 percent. The Union under CDU boss Friedrich Merz won a clear victory with 28.6 percent after achieving only 24.1 percent in the last election. Merz now sees himself in the position of striving for a government formation and has announced that he wants to present a new government by Easter at the latest. Dies könnte ein schwarz-rotes Bündnis zwischen Union und SPD zur Folge haben, da die Grünen nach einem Rückgang auf 11,6 Prozent keine Mehrheit mehr bieten können, wie FOCUS.de reported.

The SPD, on the other hand, suffers its historically worst result with only 16.4 percent and has to reorient itself. Olaf Scholz remains Chancellor for the time being, but does not take responsibility for the upcoming coalition talks. Party chairman Lars Klingbeil will be brought into play as the new leader of parliamentary group, while the reigning faction leader Rolf Mützenich resigns. Surprisingly cut off the left with 8.8 percent, while the FDP flies out of parliament with 4.3 percent. The BSW of Sahra Wagenknecht, which, at 4.972 percent, briefly fails to the five percent hurdle, fails the BSW, which unleashes the anger of the party leadership on the lack of voices of the Germans living abroad, such as the vienna.at reported.

This election campaign was characterized by an intensive debate about migration, with Merz demanding the rejection of asylum seekers at the borders, which resulted in sharp criticism of the SPD and the Greens. A fact that may explain its influence on the overall election process and the growing electorate of the AfD. Election researchers blame Merz for strategic mistakes in the election campaign that have contributed to the weakness of the Union. How the Bundestag election ends could have far -reaching consequences for the future political orientation of Germany, while the new Bundestag is reduced by a reform to 630 MPs - the slightest contingent for years. According to this choice, it is clear that Germany's political future is at a remarkable conversion point.
