Un partido de ultraderecha gana su primera elección estatal

By Jordi Bou

September 2, 2024 - Alternativa para Alemania (AfD) se ha convertido en el primer partido de de extrema derecha en ganar una elección regional en Alemania desde la Segunda Guerra Mundial.

Voters in two closely watched elections in the former communist east made clear their dissatisfaction with Germany’s mainstream political parties, putting the AFD in the top spot in Thuringia, with 32.8% of the vote, and second place in Saxony, with 30.6%, according to preliminary results.

The result gives the far right its first win in a state parliament election since World War Two, although it has little hope of forming a government in Thuringia because other parties are unlikely to work with it, BBC reports.

The results are a disaster for the parties in Chancellor Olaf Scholz’s three-way coalition, with the Social Democrats, Greens and liberals all sinking to single digits in both states.
