German national election results

Merz won the national elections on Sunday, while Alternative for Germany doubled his support in the strongest representation of a right -wing extremist party since the Second World War, as projections showed.

The incumbent Federal Chancellor Olaf Scholz admitted a defeat against his center-left social democrats after describing “a bitter election result”.

According to AP, forecasts for ARD and ZDF public television showed that his party took third place with his worst post -war elections.

Merz said he hoped to put together a coalition government until Easter. But that's probably a challenge.

The election took place seven months earlier than originally planned after the coalition of Scholz collapsed in November, three years after a term that was increasingly affected by fighting.

There was widespread dissatisfaction and not much enthusiasm for one of the candidates.

The campaign was dominated by concerns about the years of stagnation of the largest economy and the pressure in Europe, migration to insulate ingow, which caused the friction after Merz has been hard for a harder approach in the past few weeks. Against a background of the growing uncertainty about the future of Ukraine and Europe's Allianz with the United States.

Germany is the most populous country in the 27-nation-European Union and a leading member of NATO. It was the second largest weapon supplier of Ukraine, after the United States it will be of central importance to shape the reaction of the continent to the challenges of the coming years, including the confrontational foreign and trade policy of the Trump government.
