Shift Towards Right-Wing Politics

Germany's recent elections show a significant shift towards right-wing political sentiment, particularly concerning immigration and economic policies. The combined vote for the centre-right Conservative Party and the Alternative for Germany (AFD) indicates a majority backing stricter immigration rules and a more libertarian economic approach. Despite this shift, the political landscape remains complicated by Germany's historical reluctance to embrace right-wing extremism, creating barriers to collaboration between parties. Consequently, the Conservatives face challenges in fulfilling their promises, as they would likely need to partner with left-wing coalition partners to implement their agenda.
