Los conservadores ganan la elección alemana
February 24, 2025 - Los conservadores de Friedrich Merz han ganado el mayor número de votos en la elección general de Alemania, pero es posible que el dramático ascenso del ultraderechista AfD complique la formación de un gobierno.
The conservative CDU/CSU bloc came in first place on 28.6%, ahead of the far-right Alternative for Germany on 20.8%, its best ever result, according to provisional results.
The conservatives, however, rule out working with the AfD, a party which is monitored by German security services on suspicion of extremism but has been endorsed by U.S. figures including billionaire Elon Musk.
That means Merz will have to negotiate with Scholz’s centre-left Social Democrats (SPD) to form a coalition in talks that are likely to take months, Reuters reports.
