Extrema direita alemã vence primeiras eleições estaduaisright party wins its first state election

By Jordi Bou

September 2, 2024 - A Alternativa para a Alemanha (AfD) foi o primeiro partido de extrema direita a vencer eleições regionais na Alemanha desde a II 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.
