While on Sunday, there were conservative blocks under the leadership of the main winner Frederick Merz in the German election – which is likely to become a Chancellor – there were also scenes from the political spectrum to the right and left parties.
Germany (AFD), alternative leaders for Alice Waidel and Tino Krurupla, were embraced as the first forecast, appeared on the screen at 6 pm (1700 GMT).
“They wanted to cut us in half, but vice versa,” Vedel told the supporters gathered at the AFD post-election party. “We are now a political center,” said Krrupalla.
The party said that some 200 journalists and about 100 guests from Germany and abroad were included in an industrial area north of the city to the party’s incompatible headquarters of Berlin’s political heart.
On stake, sausage, beer and sparkling wine, the election result is seen as another step towards the real political power for AFD.
According to the counting of the initial vote, AFD doubled its vote share for more than 20%, and became the second largest force in Parliament. The leaders swear that next time they would go one step further and become the largest party.
The number of AFD members in the Bundestag, the lower house of Parliament, is expected to be swollen from 77 – one of which was not part of the parliamentary group – more than 140, even new reforms determined to trim the overall size of the overall size to the new reforms Has been done Body from 733 to 630.
The only thing to prevent the party from practicing its mandate is the so -called “Firewall” created by the mainstream parties, who have vowed not to work with all AFDs.
The party is classified by domestic intelligence as a suspected right -wing extremist group, and several state level party organizations are classified as confirmation right -wing extremist groups.
“We see that the firewall is falling a little more every day,” said a happy AFD legalist, Beatrix von Storch.
‘Lives to the left’
At the opposite end of the political spectrum, there were also ceremonies on Sunday evening as a party, which were written several months ago, staged a big comeback.
The top candidate for the leftist party, Heidi Rechinak wiped tears with his bright face on stage, as a crowd of supporters became wild in the Akhara Berlin in the east of the capital city.
“This is a great experience,” said Rechinak.
He looked unimaginable some time ago: only after the party was scrapped in Bundestag only last time, now he has been guaranteed a place in the next Parliament.
In early 2024, the Left appeared in leadership for political irrelevances after the Group, after the Group, after the Group Wagonaccut, and started his own populist party.
In many state level elections in East Germany, the Sahara Wagoncate Alliance (BSW) lost left -wing lost members and supporters as Sahara Wagoncate Alliance (BSW).
But on Sunday, the Left performed better than expected a few weeks ago in the national elections, more than 8%of his support was doubled.
BSW, meanwhile, is in danger of badly stumbled and falling less than 5% obstruction, usually requires to claim seats in Bundestag.
Top candidate Jan Van Ekan told a jubilant crowd, “The left remains.”
As the reasons for the success of the Left, supervisors see recent changes in leadership, a solid campaign strategy, and some voters as unstable firewalls that keep AFD out.
