Germany moves toward the extremes
The right is gaining strength, the left is taking Berlin: Why are Germany’s Jews watching the election results with concern?
The regional elections held in Germany over the weekend did not directly concern Jews or Israel, but their results could also have significant implications for the country’s Jewish community.
The most dramatic result was recorded in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania in northeastern Germany. The AfD finished first with more than 38% of the vote, while the CDU, the conservative party of Chancellor Friedrich Merz, received just 4.9% - below the 5% electoral threshold - and was left out of the state parliament. This was a historic development: It was the first time since the establishment of the Federal Republic that the CDU failed to enter a state parliament in Germany. Merz himself described the result as a “disaster."
