The conservative Democristian Union/Christian Socialist Union (CDU/CSU) has won these legislative, with more than 28% of the votesfour points above those obtained in the last elections, now four years ago. According to the preliminary results published by the German Electoral Commission, the Friedrich Merz CDU has achieved more than 22%, while the other six points have gone to the CSU Bávara.
The results of these elections suppose a Hard blow to the Social Democratic Party (SPD) of Olaf Scholzwhich has lost almost ten points in these four years, signing the worst result of the history of your party. With these data, social democrats go down to third position, and it is the Alternative ultra -right by Germany (AFD) The one that remains in second position: the formation of the extreme right has doubled its result of 2021.
The Greens They have also lived a considerable fall after being part of the coalition government, while The left (Die Linke) has been able to duplicate its numbersobtaining more than eight support points among the German electorate. The one who will be the next chancellor, Friedrich Merz, has celebrated his victory and has advanced that expect to be a government before Easter. “The time has come to speak intensely among us, after the regional elections of Hamburg (March 2), no later than,” he said.
The CDU will not have a majority in the lower housefor which 316 of the 630 seats are needed, so he will have to negotiate a coalition, probably three bands, although he would have liked to do it only with a force to give greater stability to the government.
The strength of ultra -right in the lower house
Merz, being forced to form a coalition, will have on the opposition bench in Parliament as First force from the opposition to AFDwhose candidate for chancellor Alice Weidel, said upon knowing the forecasts that her hand “is always tended to enter the government and realize the will of the people.”
AFD first entered the German Parliament in 2017 with 12.6% and became the first opposition party by forming a ‘great coalition’ between social democrats and conservatives, whose leader has reiterated His blunt rejection to cooperate with the ultra -right on a round televised table of all candidates. But now it will have much more strength in the lower house.
