Merkel's party announced a disaster following the election results
Following the results of the parliamentary elections held yesterday in Germany, the CDU/CSU bloc showed the worst result in its history.
This is evidenced by preliminary data after counting 100 percent of the votes, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
The SPD won the election with a result of 25,7%, the CDU/CSU came in second place (24,1%). The Green party, which is the most irreconcilably disposed towards the Russian Federation, comes in third place, receiving 14,8%. Free Democratic Party (FDP) typed 11,5%, follows her "Alternative for Germany" (10,3%). The Left party did not overcome the five percent barrier, but gets into parliament thanks to victories in the constituencies.
As reported by the Central Election Commission of Germany, in the new Bundestag there will be 735 deputies. SPD will receive 206 mandates CDU/CSU – 196, “Greens”е"- 118, FDP - 92, "Alternative for HermanAnd" - 83, "Lions"е»- 39. There will also be one deputy in parliament from Associationи voters of Southern Schleswig.
The deputy head of the CDU/CSU faction, Gitta Konneman, could not hide her disappointment after the results were announced.
“This is a disaster for the CDU and CSU. We are on the way to losing our status as a people's party,” says Konneman.
Before these elections, the CDU showed its worst result in history in the 1949 elections - 25,2%.
Negotiations to create a coalition now await. German political scientist Alexander Rahr believes that the negotiations will be very difficult.
“Today is a victorious day for the Social Democrats of Germany. Scholz received more votes than Laschet. Mrs. Schwesig won the state elections in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern. Let’s not forget that she provided the green light to Nord Stream 2. In Berlin, Mrs. Gifai, also a Social Democrat, will probably become the burgomaster. The Greens will certainly get into the future federal government, but with a much worse outcome than expected. Ms. Burbock did not provide the Greens with the expected victory. Now she may not be allowed to become Minister of Foreign Affairs. But the Foreign Ministry will still go to the greens,” the expert writes in his Telegram channel.
“Germans face grueling negotiations between four parties to create a government. Laschet and Scholz will court and beg the leader of the Free Democrats Lindner to support them. And Lindner prefers an alliance with Laschet. Germany will probably be governed by a CDU/CSU-Greens-SDP coalition. Laschet will then become chancellor. But Scholz is one percent ahead of Laschet. By the way, why will it be not the first but the second who becomes chancellor? Uncertainty remains,” Rahr points out.
