WORLD WORLDWIDE EUROPE ITALY - news journal UPDATE - (en) Italy, UCADI #189 - Germany in crisis (ca, de, it, pt, tr)[machine translation]

 The electoral success of the far-right and far-left parties in the two

Länder of Saxony and Thuringia and the election result in Brandenburg
are proof of the deep crisis of the traffic light coalition in
government in Berlin. Both the Greens and the liberals in Thuringia and
the liberals and the Left in Saxony remain outside the regional
parliaments, due to not having reached the quorum, the social democrats
substantially hold, while the CDU, while maintaining the majority,
records substantial losses in some cases exceeding 10% of its
electorate. The election result is significant and interesting because
the turnout in Thuringia, where approximately 1.66 million citizens
voted, was 73.5%, while in the 2019 elections it had been 64.9%. In
Saxony, where 3.3 million people were entitled to vote, the turnout was
73.5%.
The far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) has become the leading party
in Thuringia, beating the centre-right CDU by almost 10 points, marking
the first victory of a far-right party in a German state since the
Second World War; it is the second in Saxony, just one point behind the
CDU, which is in the lead with 32% of the vote. Equally significant is
the success of Alliance of Sahra Wagenknecht (BSW) - a former MEP and
former exponent of the left-wing Die Linke.
It will be said that since before the elections all the parties have
declared that they will not form government alliances with AfD,
therefore the right will not govern, but it is quite clear that the
construction of the two executives cannot ignore the support of BSW,
which is preparing to play a leading role in the two states of eastern
Germany. It is quite clear that any government will have to negotiate
each measure with the BSW which, although remaining external to the
regional government, will significantly influence the content of each
measure.
