Germany on track after Merkel in uncertain vote

In this utterly uncertain poll, the Social Democrats (SPD) are slightly ahead, with 25%, while the Conservatives have a credit of 22% to 23%, the lowest score in the final polls.

I’m still going to vote, but it’s exciting to know who it is this yearUrsula Becker, 62, voted in Achen, Rhine, West Germany.

This morning in this West German city, Armin Laschett, the center-right candidate, is fighting to keep Chancellery.

Each vote is counted, Christian Democratic Union started the title of CDU because it The direction of Germany for the next few years.

His main rival, the Social Democrat Olaf Scholes, voted in Potsdam, not far from Berlin, and wanted to see the best of times. A good sign To the left center, the unexpected rise is the craftsman from the summer.

About 60.4 million voters are due to elect their representatives by 6pm (local time) and about 40% said it was not decided just days before this crucial referendum on Europe’s largest economy.

The Social Democrats are slightly ahead under current Finance Minister Olaf Scholes, with 25%, while Armin Lashett’s Conservatives, 22 to 23%, credited with the historically low score, according to final polls.

The prognosis is further complicated by the fact that postal votes are preferred by many voters, including Angela Merkel.

The name of the future president and his possible majority system are unknown until Sunday evening and long negotiations are needed in the coming months to form the team that will be in power in the future. With the risk of leading to a European freeze from 2022 to the quarter.

Angela Merkel, 67, and more than 30 of them will be in charge during this period to deal with politics and day-to-day business.

After withdrawing from the election, the Chancellor increased the number of rallies in recent days in support of Armin Lachet, who has been in trouble since the summer.

Will the involvement of the CEO of the celebrity at the peak be enough to prevent the success of SPD? Nothing seems certain.

Bitter struggle

Stuck in third place for a long time in the poll, the SPD made an impossible comeback from mid-August.

The errors of his opponents, coupled with the flawlessness and centralism of his leader, made it possible to contradict the predictions that promised the slow death of one of Europe’s oldest parties.

The former mayor of Hamburg, his candidate, despite being unattractive, did not hesitate to pose as Ms Merkel’s true successor, even in gestures, without any problems.

In the long run ahead of the vote, the Christian Democrats are in danger of falling below the 30% mark for the first time since 1949.

In addition to the erosion of power, the conservative union suffered from the awkward propaganda of its clumsy and infamous leader.

CDU and President of the Greater Region, North Rhine-Westphalia, Mr. Lashet always has a reputation for getting back on his feet and eliminating tough enemies.

But this time the march seems too much for the conservative candidate who imposed his candidacy during the leaders’ terrible war against the more famous Bavarian leader Marcus Soder than him.

The disintegration of a left coalition agitated by the conservatives can mobilize the undecided.

Location of greens

The Greens should be in third place with about 17%. This score will be of historical significance for those who exceeded the 10% mark in 2009 alone.

But it will leave them with a bitter taste, because they were still at the top of the poll in April in Germany, which is worried about climate change.

Their leader, Annalena Barbaugh, 40, before the summer, multiplied hiccups between allegations of plagiarism and unannounced bonus.

The Greens want to participate in government if possible with the Social Democrats. For the first time since the 1950s, third-party support is needed.

The Liberals of the FDP already seem viable Kingmaker.

The far-left Die Link seems to be ready to participate, but must first drop its criticism of NATO.

The far-right AfD, which first entered the Bundestag four years ago, is expected to secure its parliamentary foothold with about 10%, but has been excluded from a possible coalition.
