Friedrich Merz’s CDU/CSU wins the elections in Germany and AFD’s ultra -right is second, according to probes

The block formed by the Cristianodemocrata Union (CDU) and the Bávara Social Cristian Union (CSU) has won the elections held this Sunday in Germany, according to the polls at the ballot box of the First TV chain ARD. The CDU/CSU would have obtained 29% of the ballots in a day with a lot of volatility due to the high level of participation. The result of the CD/CSU is in line with the projections of recent weeks and is well above the one obtained in the 2022 electionswhich was 19%.

Great advance also for alternative for Germany (AFD) that almost doubles its support and obtains its best result with an anti -imparation and pro -prorusal discourse. 10.4% obtained in 2012 has passed to 19.5%according to Ard. That strong rebound will not take them to the government, but increases their power in the Bundestag because They will be opposition leaders. It will not surpass social democrats and green together, and it is possible that one of them may become part of the government with the CDU_CSU.

After the results of the polls, the AFD leader, Alice Weidel, offered to enter a coalition government. “We are the only party that has doubled our result. They wanted to reduce us in half and the opposite has happened. Our arm will always be extended to enter the government and make the will of the people come true, “Weidel said at the AFD electoral party.

The Chancellor Social Democrat (SPD) Olaf Scholz He has collapsed. Of 25.7% collected three years and six months ago, the time that the coalition with green and liberals (FPD) has lasted has fallen to 16%. It is the worst historical data of the SPD and the chancellor has “assumed its responsibility in the results.” “We cannot keep our arms crossed”; Merz wants a government “as quickly as possible” in the face of international challenges, Scholz added. Social democrats can only opt for the government as partners of a coalition in which Foreign Minister Scholz will not take part in any case. Only for the protocol will continue to be chancellor.

The Greens, with Robert Habeck In the lead they have not improved the position of the party. In the 2021 elections, then with the Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbok As a candidate, the environmentalist took 14.7% of scrutiny. In these elections, they would have collected 13.5% according to the polls on the ballot box of ard.

The fourth game that will exceed 5% minino to enter the Bundestag will be the Die Linke (the left, with the 8,5%.

In the tightrope are the FDP liberals of the former finance minister, Christian Lindner. To achieve that 5% liberals will safely enter the coalition government with the CDU.

In the 2025 Bundestag elections there have also been electoral observers of the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE). The OSCE mission was directed by Italian politics Tana de Zulueta and will also have observers from Poland, Serbia, Romania, Denmark and France. The observers will present their report several weeks after the elections. It is not known for sure where the OSCE observers unfold. Experts can freely choose electoral schools.

In addition to the OSCE observers, there are also “normal” electoral observers. Anyone can do it. The day of the elections, everyone can get an idea of ​​how the vote takes place at the Electoral College, until the count ends. It is not necessary to register, You can follow the process in situ, ask questions and take notes. However, the electoral committee reserves the right of admission in case the observers interfere or interrupt the process.
