Worries about the economy and migration pushed up share for far-right AfD in Hesse and Bavaria, while coalition parties did worse
German chancellor Olaf Scholz’s fractious centre-left coalition has received a sharp rebuke from voters in the key states of Bavaria and Hesse, with economic woes and immigration fears boosting the opposition conservatives and the far right.
At the elections on Sunday the far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) party burst out of its post-industrial eastern strongholds to score its best ever result in a western state. Polls showed it on course to be the second largest party in Hesse, home to the financial capital Frankfurt.
All three parties in Scholz’s federal coalition – his Social Democrats, the Greens and the pro-business Free Democrats (FDP) – did worse than five years ago in the states, which together account for about a quarter of the German population.
voting for nazi scum is a dipshit move, can’t change my mind.
Nazi and right-wing are not synonyms. Your right government are not building concentration camps to gas jews, they are not going for the uber aryan race, they are not going to reintroduce slavery and torture, they are not going to line up people before a wall to get shot, they are not going to start a war to expand their territory.
The word nazi and racist have lost a lot of weight because of incorrectly overly used.
I can tell you’re not happy with it, if they are really that bad, the next election will be different. Just hang on.
Bro, if you don’t know about the politics of a certain country, it’s better to shut up about it. Björn Höcke, who’s considered to be the middle of the AfD wrote in his book “Nie zweimal in den gleichen Fluss” that “we will loose certain parts of our population”. To achieve this he’s willing to use “well temperarated force”. There are hundreds of quotes like this. Many of the regional AfD fractions are being observed by our protection of the constitution or even assured right wing extremists which means they are literal Nazis. The AfD say that the only difference between them and the NPD, they tried to ban, for them being nazis, but failed because it’s to small, is that they are more popular. It’s not about conservative. It’s about this whole fucking party being full of Nazis.
members of our nazi party are denying the holocaust, are racist, are lying and are also supporting neonazis and their cause. They don’t give a fuck about our environment, want to exit nato and the european union, openly support putin and his war and denying covid and its dangers, so please stop excusing those dipshits!
They have to be stopped right now, not in a few years when they start their nazi shit all over again and have driven our land to a new crisis because their agenda is bullshit and grounde on lies and the fear of people.
If you vote for those idiots you are an idiot yourself in the best case and in the worst case you are supporting everything those Nazis stand for. They don’t need to build concentration camps to be nazis they simply are, what a stupid argument to make…holy shit please just let it be and move on.
Yes that is bad. But you shouldn’t get so wound up over an opinion of some nobody internet dude like me. You’ll be fine, germany will be fine.
you were making false statements about those nazi dipshits and and tried to play them down. If you have no idea about our right winged politic parties, try not to start discussion how harmless they are.
