Two months after the collapse of the Olaf Scholz government it is time to Elections in Germany. Today’s return will determine the composition of the new Bundestag, a vote with multiple reading keys – from the left theme to the prediction of the AFD ascent – and with the understandable anguish for the nightmare attack. The latest available surveys speak clearly: the Cdu-csu by Friedrich Merz in the lead with 29.5 percent, with theAFD at 21 percent. Then theSPD of the Chancellor Olaf Scholz at 15 percent, followed by Green and from the left of Die Linkerespectively to 12.5 and 7.5 percent. THE’Sahra Wagenknecht (BSW) alliance records 5 percent but remains at risk exactly like theFDP estimated at 4.5 percent, i.e. under the minimum threshold to enter the Bundestag.
The Attack dossier He played a leading role in the election campaign and will certainly have a big weight on the polls. The last attack that struck Germany took place on the eve of the vote: a 30 -year -old Spanish tourist was stabbed around the neck at the Holocaust memorial, in the heart of Berlin, by a 19 -year -old Syrian resident in a refugee center in Leipzig . The authorities confirmed the anti -Semitic motive linked to the war in the Middle East: the young “wanted to kill the Jews”. An episode that is linked to the arrest of the 18 -year -old Ceceno suspected of planning an attack on the Israeli embassy. Therefore, the debate on safety and immigration has inevitably rekindled, another theme-factor of these German elections.
Spotlights also on the far right. Between the support of Elon Musk and the accusations of neonazism now known, theAFD It is ready to write history. Emblematic what happened in Berlin on the eve of the vote, with hundreds of supporters on march. In response, anti-fascist organizations have organized counter-maris in different points of the city. In other German cities, new events were held against the far right. In Hamburg, the police estimated the participation of about 40 thousand people. Tensions also recorded themselves in Switzerland, where about 250 people showed against the AFD in front of the home of the leader Alice Weidel and hired a clash with the counter-maritants.
The leader of the CSU Markus Söder instead remarked its opposition to an alliance with the Greens, aiming for the finger at the Minister of Economy and candidate for the office of Chancellor Robert Habeck, guilty of pursuing a policy that damages the automotive industry for Green fundamentalisms: “So it is clear: no coalition with the Greens, dear friends”. And the game of Fanta-Coalitions It is quite complicated: the CDU-CSU may not exceed 30 percent and it is impossible to govern only one ally, especially in the event of an EFDP exclusion from the Bundestag. The only accessible option would remain a “Kenya” coalition between Cdu-Csu, SPD and Verdi, given the veto on Afd and Die Linke.
