The conservative opposition has won the most votes in Germany’s general election, but a dramatic surge by the far-right Alternative für Deutschland (AfD) is likely to complicate the formation of a government to help spearhead a European response to growing global threats.
The CDU/CSU candidate, Friedrich Merz, was preparing on Sunday night to try to form a ruling coalition after clinching almost 29% of the vote from a high turnout.
“I’d like to express my respect for our political rivals,” he said, referring to fellow centrists. “It was a very tough campaign.
“Now we need to talk to each other and as quickly as possible form a government for Germany that can take action so that we can do the right thing at home, be present again in Europe and make sure the world sees that Germany again has a reliable government.”
The AfD, buoyed by anger about immigration, violent crime and high energy costs, got about 21% of the vote – finishing second and nearly doubling its result at the last election in 2021.
The party’s jubilant chancellor candidate and co-leader, Alice Weidel, cheered the outcome with AfD officials including the extremist firebrand Björn Höcke, who has been convicted of using the banned Nazi slogan “Alles für Deutschland” (Everything for Germany) in campaign speeches.
“This is a historic success for us – our best result ever,” Weidel told the broadcaster ARD. “We extend our hand to offer cooperation with the CDU. Otherwise change won’t be possible in Germany.”
All the mainstream parties, however, have pledged to maintain a “firewall” barring formal cooperation with the anti-migrant, pro-Kremlin AfD, which attracted high-profile endorsements from Donald Trump’s confidant, Elon Musk, and the US vice-president, JD Vance, during the short, intense campaign.
Trump hailed the election’s outcome. “Much like the USA, the people of Germany got tired of the no-common-sense agenda, especially on energy and immigration,” he wrote in a post on Truth Social. “This is a great day for Germany.”
But Merz struck a blunt tone, saying Trump had made it “clear that [his] government is fairly indifferent to Europe’s fate” and that Germany would have to wait to see “whether we will still be able to speak about Nato in its current form” when the alliance meets for its next summit in June.
“For me, the absolute priority will be to strengthen Europe as quickly as possible so that, step by step, we can really achieve independence from the USA” in defence matters, Merz said.
More “election” BS for the drones. It wouldn’t make any difference anyway. The afd leader is a queer (whereas the “party” is supposedly christian) and her “wife” is an immigrant (whereas the “party” is supposedly anti immigrant). The germans voted for more shafting by their jew overlords, although they didn’t have a non jew “candidate” anyhow. The jews control every side in every election.
In the jew-k the “police” are jews, which is why they murder a thousand people a year (by their own figures), all white british of course.
Every single mention of the AfD party HAS to start with far right, even tho it’s not. Inundated with immi-vaders, the ONCE GREAT country used to be the powerhouse, a small stain in Europe now. All with the power of BS, and from Hitler, the holo-hoax, to Russia blowing up it’s own billion dollar pipeline, it is always winding up with the shitty end of the stick.
But there was that one time that the wall came down, and Germany came together?!
Go AfD!!!
Remember: there are few constants in politics and people’s attitudes can change with astonishing speed. The Social Democrats swept the board in the Reichstag election of 1928 with a comfortable majority of 153 seats, up 22 seats. The National Socialists won an uninspiring total of 12 seats, down 2 from previously. In other words, the Nazis were a laughing stock.
Nobody needs to be reminded what happened in January 1933. Never ignore a warning from history.
What this video appears to show is AfD ballots being shredded instead of the Green ones:

Germany is STILL occupied by American troops so many years after ww2.
They have pumped billions into Israel….BILLIONS.
In my humble opinion the woman at the head of the Afd…looks distinctly JEWISH!….we shall see.
don’t get excited when one looks at the break down of how people and groups voted. The majority of women voted for the continuation of murder,rapes and muggings. The goy voting for suicide again.
Story c/o Alex Christoforou: Former Blackrock CEO Friedrich Merrz, leader of Germany’s conservative party the Christian Democratic Union (CDU), which came out on top in Germany’s recent election, has already said he made no promises to close Germany’s borders to keep immigrants out. Whether or not he did I couldn’t say, but it’s not going to please supporters of the AfD who came second and are now a force.
“For me, the absolute priority will be to strengthen Europe as quickly as possible …” says Merz. Great news for Germany, right, left and center – right? Making Europe great again. Surely Scholz’ political experience will be requested by Dr. Merz. SO? What was the election for? Ah yes, demockcrassie and citizens rights to show their responsibility for their own country by voting for the same turn coats that brought the Volk exactly where they are today. Weimar here we come (again) but this time a bit more colorful.
