“History doesn’t repeat itself, but it often rhymes”
The Alternative for Germany (AfD) is the first far-right party to win a state election in Germany since the Second World War, giving it unprecedented power, even if other parties are sure to exclude it.
Voters in two closely watched elections in the former communist east made their dissatisfaction with Germany’s mainstream political parties clear, putting the Alternative für Deutschland (AfD) party in the top spot in Thuringia, with 32.8% of the vote, and second place in Saxony, with 30.7%, according to final results.
The leader of the AfD in Thuringia, Hoecke is one of Germany’s most controversial far-right politicians and was fined twice this year for deliberately using a banned Nazi slogan.
The upcoming government formations will probably take a long time, and the outcome is completely uncertain.
Edit:
While I understand the source for data displayed is important, it’s a bit random in this case, but here:
- Invasion of Poland: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Invasion_of_Poland
- Election results in Thüringen Germany showing the AfD as the winner: https://www.bundeswahlleiterin.de/en/europawahlen/2024/ergebnisse/bund-99/land-16.html
- The calculation between the two dates has to be done by yourself. ;)
I realize FB/Instagram are bad & they encourage creators to put links in the bio, which is bullshit. However, copying from FB/Instagram without attribution to the original channel still seems like the worse option.
