In Germany, 6 tables lost, the extreme right exploded

In Germany, the far-right, anti-immigrant AfD (Alternative for Germany) party exploded, surpassing 20 percent. In fact, for the first time in its 10-year history, it overthrew the main parties and took over the administration of a district.

The AfD, which single-handedly overthrew the six-party coalition made up of the government parties, the Social Democrats, the Greens and the Liberals, as well as the Left Party and the Christian Democratic Party, and another small party, broke new ground in the history of Germany.

AfD presidential candidate Robert Sesselmann competed against only 6 parties in the runoff election held in Thuringia’s Sonneberg district on Sunday. Sesselmann received 52.8 percent of the vote in the election in which 6 parties associated with and supported the Christian Democratic Party (CDU) candidate. The name of the CDU, which is the candidate for table 6, stayed at 47.2 percent. Sesselmann had received about 48 percent of the vote in the first round and advanced to the second round.

GREAT DECREASE IN GREENS

Meanwhile, in nationwide polls, the AfD’s vote rose to its highest ever level, reaching 20 percent. The Greens, who exploded until last year, lost at least 6 points. The Greens fell to 13 percent. SPD is at 19 percent. The CDU, on the other hand, receives around 26 percent of the vote.

The rise in prices of the AfD in recent years, the financial difficulties of retirees, irregular immigrants, the increase in violence in the cities, the formation of clans by immigrants from the Middle East and unemployment problems, especially in East Germany, they are behind the rise of the AfD.
