Germany's central right -wing Christian Democratic Union (CDU) will return to power with the right -wing extremist alternative for Germany as the second largest party. Trump.

The CDU's party headquarters was filled with cheers and applause on Sunday evening when the exit surveys were unveiled, and it became clear that the opposition party was to be the largest group on Sunday. Outside of the building, a small group had gathered from demonstrators to demonstrate against what she, as party leader Friedrich Merz, perceives hard line for immigration.

Merz explained the victory at the event in Central -Berlin when he told the supporters, “Let's start the party”, an obvious allusion to the fact that they want to get coalition negotiations in motion quickly.

If the exit survey is available, the CDU will claim 28.8% of the votes in the elections on Sunday, which means condition.

According to the starting survey, the right -wing extremist alternative for Germany (AfD) took second place with unprecedented 20.2%, which means that the party is officially suspected on the verge of extremism, today a great political force. Due to a so -called “Firewall” regulation, however, it is exposed to the government's exclusion by other parties.

The mood at the AfD election party was thrilled when it turned out that the party had almost doubled its support, with people cheering and swinging the flags of German Germany. Party co-Co manager Alice Weidel entered the stage to say cheering crowd that the AfD was “never stronger”.

Chancellor Olaf Scholz 'Center Links Social Democratic Party (SPD) seemed to be in third place with 16.2%, and a dramatic turnaround in the party's assets have signaled since the 2021 election, when 25.7% of the votes lasted.

In the exit surveys, the left party, which won 8.5%, was also a successful result for the socialist and conveniently pressed over the 5% strh as required to enter the parliament.

The “Ampern” conditions led by Scholz brought together a restless alliance of three ideologically different parties and its collapse triggered the Snap vote on Sunday, a relative rarity in a country that has long had one of the most stable political systems in Europe.

According to information from the state's state statistics office, almost 60 million Germans were entitled on Sunday.

The preliminary results on Sunday evening end an eventful election period in which the officials of the White House were exceptionally involved and deleted the debates about Germany's immigration policy again.

Trump sent shock waves all over Europe, after having progressed peace talks about Ukraine with Russia, except for both Kyiv and European leaders.

The reconstruction of Germany after the Nazis period was driven among the NATO security alliance led by the USA and its later prosperity was driven by cheap Russian energy and trade with China.

What was once certain has deleted and if Merz – who undertaken to violate the right and promised to offer leadership in Europe, he becomes a chancellor who has an enormous task in front of him.

Two most recent fatal attacks, one in Magdeburg before Christmas and another in Munich last week – both carried out by migrants with different motifs – have coordinated the flames of the division in advance until Sunday.

The AfD, which was accused of using immigrants, has a scapegoat that used these attacks for their own political profit and even called for “removal” – the mass expression of immigrants, regardless of their citizenship status in Germany.

Both the CDU and the SPD increased the promises in terms of irregular migration and the protection of internal security according to the latest attacks, which means that the AfD has already shaped the debate.

According to the German system's system, it is difficult for every party to get enough votes to rule alone, and it remains to be seen which form of the form of coalition formation will lead.

However, some aspects are already clear. Other main parties made it clear that the AfD will not be part of negotiations, which means that it is initially excluded from power.

It is likely that Merz will ask the Social Democrats of Scholz – the other large centrist party in Germany – to build a government. Another potential coalition partner are the environmental grasses, which were active in the so -called “ampulse coalition” government of Scholz.

At this stage it remains unclear whether Merz needs one or two partners to form a majority. Three-way coalition governments in Germany are rare.

Overall, it could take weeks for Feilsch to form a new government, which means more political paralysis for Berlin at a time greater uncertainty.
