AfD wins in Thuringia State Elections; Socialists Coalition only gets 15%
|
[DetroitNews] Berlin; The Alternative for Germany party's success in two state elections piled new pressure on Chancellor Olaf Scholz's fractious government and left the country's conservative opposition facing political contortions on Monday to find a way to govern a pair of eastern regions without involving the far-right party.
Alternative for Germany, or AfD, became the first far-right party to win a state election in post-World War II Germany in Thuringia on Sunday under one of its hardest-right figures, Björn Höcke. In neighboring Saxony, it finished only just behind the mainstream center-right Christian Democratic Union, which leads the national opposition. Voters punished the three parties in Scholz's governing coalition, which took well under 15% of the vote between them.
--------------
AfD victory largely based on immigration policy although this escapes the notice of the Detroit news.
Deutsche Welle has all the details here, including pretty bar graphs of the preliminary results for both states here.
But Instapundit links to the below, which may or may not turn out to be true in the end: |
Election result corrected AfD loses seat in Saxony - this has major consequences
[BlueNews] - Incorrect election results have been published in Saxony,5(4 state electoral commission announced.
- Compared to the previously published election results, the AfD has lost one seat and thus the blocking minority in the Saxon state parliament.
- The reason for the incorrectly published results was a software error.
With more than a third of the seats, the AfD would have been able to block all decisions requiring a two-thirds majority in future. For example, constitutional judges are elected by parliament with a two-thirds majority. The party had announced its intention to make use of this means as often as possible in order to "drive the government before it".
