With a year to go until Germany’s national election, the results look punishing for Social Democrat Chancellor Olaf Scholz’s coalition.
The Alternative for Germany was on track on Sunday to become the first far-right party to win a regional election in Germany since World War II, projections showed, but was almost certain to be excluded from power by rival parties.
Supporters of the far-right Alternative for Germany political party hold a placard that reads: “Germany First!” at an AfD campaign rally in Thuringia. All three parties lost votes, with junior partners, the Greens and Free Democrats, on the cusp of missing the 5per cent threshold needed to stay in parliament.at a festival in the city of Solingen in a knife attack, allegedly by an illegally resident Syrian national whom authorities had failed to deport.
The left populist Sahra Wagenknecht Alliance , which like the AfD wants less immigration and an end to arming Ukraine, came third in both states just eight months after its founding. For Weidel, her party’s strong performance in both states was evidence that it was no longer possible to keep her party out of power.
