The Germans voted for changes in leadership on Sunday, delivered the maximum vote for the Conservative Party in parliamentary elections, and finished second on the right side, and rebuked the state’s left -wing government to handle the economy and immigration. .
The initial revenue and outlet polls are almost definitely sure that the next minister of this country will be Friedrich Merz, leader of the Christian Democratic Party. But he must have at least one or -possibility that the Germans can rule two united partners.
Mertz told his supporters in Berlin on Sunday evening, “We have won it.”
The elections held seven months earlier after the three -party unity of OLAF SCHOLZ and the long -term collapse in the long run will now be the essential part of Trump’s new world order. It depicts the highest voter turnout over decades.
69 -year -old MERZ promised to crack down on immigrants with immigrants to start economic growth. He also vowed to introduce a more decisive foreign policy to help Ukraine and Europe’s strong leadership as soon as the new Trump administration scrapped the traditional alliance and accepted Russia.
Merz, a businessman, was once considered a potential partner for President Trump, but on the last day of the campaign, he thought about whether the United States would remain Trump’s democracy. He strongly condemned what the Germans regarded by the Trump administration officials in place of the first alternative for Germany or AFD.
After the poll, Prime Minister Mertz said, “My top priority is to strengthen Europe as soon as possible so that it can gradually achieve independence from the United States. “I didn’t think I would say this on TV, but after last week’s opinion of Donald Trump, it is clear that the administration is very indifferent to Europe’s fate or at least this part.”
The first wave of revenue and exit polls suggested that his Christian Democratic Party and sister party, the Christian Social Union, will win 29 percent of the votes. Historically, in the German elections, Merz’s second lowest performance was the lowest market share in Merz’s party.
Both are the weaknesses of the mainstream parties of the centralist who dominated Germany for decades of cracks multiplied by the politics of the state.
Although there was a great tension on the union that Merz could gather on Sunday evening, it was clearly hoped for the reorganization of the government, which operated Germany for the 16 -year term of former Prime Minister Angela Merkel. A lead as a lonely junior partner by the Social Democratic Party.
I was not sure if it was possible. Sachara Wagenknecht Alliance, the old Russian fragment of the old German left, was emerging near the 5 %support needed to enter Congress. If it eliminates the threshold, it can be forced by Mertz to be relatively two political parties and three -party associations. Other parties are ideologically more ideologically falling less than 5 % with Merz, a business free Democratic Party, and missing cuts.
The three -party scenario can mean the repetition of the government, which is hard to deal with in Germany, and has the same vulnerabilities as it has been reconstructed but collapsed recently.
Complications arise because MERZ promised not to join AFD, the second -largest finisher that is associated with conspiracy to reduce the holocaust and overthrow the government with NAZI slogan. But revenue showed that AFD is a power that grows in German politics, even if it does not meet ambitions in this election.
The AFD has doubled its voting share four years ago, and has doubled its voting share by appealing to voters who are angry by millions of refugees entering the country in the Middle East, Afghanistan, and Ukraine. I finished first in East Germany.
However, the voting share seems to have fallen short of the support of support a year ago. Many analysts were looking forward to a more powerful show after a series of events that raised party and signature issues.
AFD has been publicly supported by JD VANCE vice president and Billionaire Trump advisor Elon Musk. It wanted to create political benefits with a series of deadly attacks committed by immigrants in recent months, including the last day of the campaign.
But the benefits have never been realized. The response to recent attacks and the support for Trump’s management may even mobilized the support of the support for the LINKE DIE LINKE, a German left party, and some voters suggested in an interview on Sunday.
In all these exercises, Merz’s most likely combined partner seems to have predicted a few months by an analyst. Scholz’s central left -wing social Democratic Party has experienced rapid support four years ago.
The only other possible partner will look like Greens. Green seemed to be fourth in the vote. Immediately after the polls closed on Sunday, negotiations with partners began.
Interviews and initial yields suggested that voters were angry with Scholz’s government about high food prices and inappropriate wage growth.
Many voters, even those who supported the Christian Democratic Party, said Mertz is not personally enthusiastic. But they wanted to create a powerful government to solve problems at home and abroad and prevent Germany far away.
“The greatest danger of Germany is that we will have a large number of unstable majority,” said Desden’s eastern city doctor, who voted to MERZ’s Christian Democratic Party. “This is the best reason if CDU/CSU gets a lot of voting rights. And if we are not my party, we can form a coalition with a few people as possible.”
MERZ is probably difficult to try to revitalize the economy that has not grown for half a decade. He is also leading Europe with trade and security conflict with Trump, and will try to lead Europe with the US administration, which has quickly reorganized the world alliance. Voters said they would look at the next government to interfere with the pain of inflation after the charges.
Rojin Yilmaz, a trainee of ASCHAFFENBURG, a city that murdered infants and adults last month, said, “Everything is more expensive and wages are not rising at the same time. Yilmaz voted for Die Link.
In an interview with Desden, a fortress for AFD, some voters said they lost their faith in other parties to solve immigration and other problems.
70 -year -old Andreas Mühlbach said, “I voted for AFD.
Martin Milner, 59, an educator and musician of Potsdam, who shares tickets between Greens and Die Linke, hopes that German defense democracy will be maintained quickly against the right -wing threat by supporting AFD.
“I want to show that this system is fully elastic,” Milner said.
