Five key taays from German elections

Friedrich Merz’s conservatives won, but the 2025 German elections throws some important and interesting stories that reveal a country in Flux.

The alternative for Germany, or AFD, doubles its support for only four years to 20.8%, and spread from the base of Parliament.

Meanwhile, the outer chancellor olaf scholz’s SPD has the worst done in decades, only 16.4% of the vote.

Here are five keys takeaways.

Look at the map of the German election results, and you are about to travel back at the time of the Cold War, if a steel curtain divided the Communist East Germany from the west.

In the east it is a verification of a blue light blue, except pockets like Berlin and a half of Leipzig. In the west majority of the majority of conservative content, especially in Bavaria where Merz’s conservative sister, the CSU, reigned in the scene.

But the AFD also spreads to the west as well, and political loyalty of elderly primary parties disappeared.

Its primary message is “recognition”, which it means to deport migrants who have committed crimes. But the term can also refer to the narrowing of migrants and their generations.

The afd wants a vote on leaving the eu if it can’t reform it, to scrap climate change measures, build nuclear power plants, and repair gas lines and relations with russia.

For one of five Germans it has been normalize. “They are only normal people,” said a young immigrant source of Duisburg, a town of Old Industrial Phyrelial Phyrelial.

Although it is second, the AFD is blocked from being part of the next government because of a “firewall” – or Wall of fire – Runed by primary parties in Germany, without co-operating with any party seen as extremist since the end of the world war.

The AFD leader Alice Alice Wididelo insists that it is a libertarian, conservative movement, not racist. The large addition of public support agrees with a series of fatal attacks in the past nine months, all imigrants say.

The AFD accepts a more controversial policy called “remigation”, which means as dependent migrants who have committed crimes. But the term can also refer to the narrowing of migrants and their generations.

However, May 2024 German court rejected an AFD appeal against a ruling classifically as a suspected more distant organization. The judges know that the AFD has “positions that do not satisfy the democratic command and cannot agree with the principle of democracy”.

In the three German states in the east – Thuryia, Saxony-Anhalt and Saxony – Domestic Intelligence pointed to the AFD as the right winged extremist.

A leading AFD number in Thuringia, Björn Höckke, double-convicted of the use of a prohibited Nazi slogan “Alles for Germany. Alice Windides encourages his name in the campaign elections, using the phrase “Alice for Germany”.

Not since 1987 have been up to 82.5% of an German election, and that’s three years before the change of east and west.

Four years ago it was 76.6%.

Place simple, more than four of every five of 59.2 million voters in Germany have been made.

It shows how the Germans were past the past in this election, coming to an important opportunity for their country. There are nine TV debates on the last weight of the campaign, but that appears in the wide interest of the audience.

The three-party government of Outgoing Chancellor Olaf Scholz fell by the end of last year, and within 24 hours of Sunday elections, all three Sunday leaders said they left the front line of politics.

The leader of the economic liberals, the FDP, first. Christian Lindner led his party for 11 years. But it failed to get any MPs chosen and Lindner said he left politics after 25 years.

It was Lindner’s refusal to compromise the government’s debt rules first, and then sent his party to the wilderness.

Although Scholz will remain Chancellor until the next government is formed, he does not participate in the peace talks and leave the Frontline politics.

Greens vice-chandellor Robert Habeck also leaves political stop after his party falls below 12% of the election.

Up to a few weeks ago, the left party was looking at one of the leading lights, Sahra Wagenknecht, sailed himself, more populist, party with eight more MPs.

Wagenknecht’s popularity is worth a while his head at BSW party, but eventually falls below 5% threshold for going to parliament.

The story is very different (The left), which has risen from the dead with inspired social medial campaigns.

Heidi Reichinnek, the colleague of Deemy Like’s Cha-Chair, viral after he gave a passionate firewall protection against the AFD. Now he has 580,000 follers of the Gold and his post attracts seven million views.

His party secured under 9% of the vote.

Viral Viral Videos Litke helps access a quarter of 18-24 votes, and the AFD has not been far from 21%, according to surveys through ARD TV.

Alice Weidide is the biggest hit social media during the election, greater than Heidi Reichinnek. He attracts more than 935,000 followers in the gesture.

For about 35, it is Christians democratic winners, and many men than women.
