European Parliament election results for Germany! It rose strongly to second place and became the biggest winner!

German media reported that what is different about the results of this European Parliament election is that the 27 EU member states are clearly "turning right".

In Germany, German media said that the voting results made the Social Democratic Party led by Scholz experience an "extremely painful night."

According to the latest results, the Christian Democratic Union/Christian Social Union (CDU/CSU) is leading in the vote in German voters, winning 30% support; the far-right party Alternative for Germany (AfD) has seen its support rate rise to 15.9%, becoming the second largest party; the three parties of the current ruling coalition "Red and Green Lights" suffered a crushing defeat, with the support rate of Schulz's party, the Social Democratic Party (SPD), falling to 13.9%, the support rate of the Green Party falling by 8 percentage points to 11.9%, and the support rate of the FDP falling to 5.2%.

CDU leader Friedrich Merz said that in this European election, the CDU/CSU "returned to the top position with a large advantage" among German political parties. For the "traffic light" coalition government, this election was a "disaster". CSU leader and Bavarian Prime Minister Markus Söder said the "traffic light" had in fact been eliminated by referendum.

Tino Chrupalla, chairman of the Alternative for Germany (AfD), was satisfied with the result. His party is ahead of all the "traffic light" parties and has become the most powerful force in eastern Germany. This is very beneficial for the state elections to be held in three eastern German states in the fall. Co-chair Alice Weidel said voters had become more critical of Europe overall.

CDU and CSU call for Schorz's resignation

After the "traffic light" coalition suffered a major faux pas, parties including the CDU/CSU called on the Bundestag to hold a vote of confidence in Chancellor Scholz and to hold new federal elections. CSU leader Söder called on Scholz to resign, claiming that the coalition government no longer has any confidence among the people.

It is reported that unlike state elections and federal elections, this European Parliament election does not have a 5% threshold or other restrictions, which means that even small parties have the opportunity to send one or more members to the European Parliament.

Five years ago, Germany had 14 political parties in the European Parliament. At the time, just 0.7% of the vote was enough to secure a seat. Germany has 96 of the 720 MEPs, more than one-eighth.
