The Rise of Right-Wing Political Forces in Germany

Recent elections in Germany have revealed a significant shift toward right-wing politics, with the CDU and AfD gaining considerable support. The CDU, a center-right party, secured nearly 29% of the vote, while the AfD saw a remarkable increase, achieving approximately 21%. Meanwhile, the ruling SPD party faced a dramatic decline, dropping to 16% and losing a substantial number of seats in the Bundestag. This change illustrates a broader discontent among voters, yet raises questions about the actual impact on governance, as the establishment parties may now form coalitions, keeping the AfD out of power and perpetuating status quo-oriented policies.
