« Nous n’avons jamais été aussi forts au niveau national », a déclaré la cheffe de file de l’AfD, Alice Weidel, dimanche soir, alors que son parti aurait obtenu plus de 20 % des voix sur le plan national, selon des estimations peu avant minuit. Friedrich Merz, le président de la CDU, probable futur chancelier, a exclu toute alliance avec l’Afd.
The German legislative elections resulted in a victory for the conservative CDU/CSU alliance with 28.5% of the vote, followed by the far-right AfD at 20.8% and the SPD at 16.5%. The Greens secured 11.8%, Die Linke 8.7%, BSW 4.97%, and FDP 4.33%. CDU/CSU leader Friedrich Merz aims to form a government swiftly, excluding any coalition with AfD. AfD leader Alice Weidel expressed interest in negotiating with CDU/CSU. The high voter turnout highlighted public engagement. The FDP and BSW fell short of the 5% threshold, potentially barring their entry into the Bundestag. The CDU/CSU may seek a grand coalition with the SPD, though challenges like economic policy and immigration loom. The AfD's strong performance in eastern Germany underscores regional dynamics.
