European Digital Editor in Berlin
Friedrich Merz won the conservatives, but Germany’s 2025 choice, a number of streams that revealed a country.
Alternative to Germany or AFD double up to four years and 20.8%, and spread from the support base in the East to become the second largest political force in the parliament.
Meanwhile, the outgoing Chancellor Olaf Scholz’s worst performance in SPD decades, only 16.4% of the voting.
Here are five basic takeay.
In the east, afd dominant in the west
See the map of Germany’s election results and almost one iron curtain could return to the Cold War when the communist leaves the West from East Germany.
In addition to pockets like half and half of the Leipzig, Afd is an open blue trick. In the West, the vast majority, especially Merz’s conservative brotherly party, became a conservative black color in Bavaria, which prevails the view.
AFD spreads in the west and went to the former major parties.
Normalized for one of five Germans. “They are just normal people,” a young man of a young man in the city of Duisburg, a city in the heart of the Old Industrial Industry.


Although the second came, the AFD is blocked from being part of the next government due to “Firewall” – or Fire – The end of the world war is managed by the main parties of Germany, which does not operate together as an extremist.
AFD’s leader Alice Weidel is a conservative action, not a racist, but not a libertarian. The great increase in public support, in the last nine months, coincided with a number of deadly attacks, allegedly all immigrants.
AFD accepted a highly controversial policy called “Competition” as a migrant deported as a migrant. However, the term may also refer to the mass deportation of migrants and their generations.
In May 2024, a German court rejected AFD appeal with a qualifying judgment as an emergency organization, a suspect. The judges found that AFD was “positions that violate the democratic order and the principle of democracy.”
In three areas in the east – Thuringia, Saxony-Anhalt and Saxony-Anhalt and Saxony-Internal intelligence set the AFD as a right-wing extremist.
The leading AfD figure in Thuringia, Björn Höcke, twice was accused of using a Nazi slogan “Alles for Germany” – everything for Germany. Alice Weidel fans called the name of the election campaign using the phrase “Alice for Alice”.
Germans voted in the greatest activity for 40 years

It was 76.6% four years ago.

The leader of the economic liberals, FDP, became the first. The Christian Lindner party has been headed for 11 years. However, he could not get any deputies, and Lindner said he left politics after 25 years.
The Lindner’s government has compromised the borrowed rules, and then sent the party to the desert.
Although the next government stays in the formation until the next government is formed, he will not participate in coalition talks and leave the frontline policy.
