In the former East Germany region in eastern Germany, the State Council of Saxon and Brandonburg State Council held an election on September 1st. As a result, the support rate of the German Right -wing Party Options (AFD) increased drama, an increase of 17.8%and 11.3%over 2014.Both have become the second largest party, and the support rate of almost all traditional political parties has fallen.As an important leader of the European Union, the phenomenon of German populism has received international attention.

In recent years, due to the introduction of more than one million refugees in the Merkel administration, the discussion has also been increasingly closer to the Nazi Party.Recently, the number of anti -immigrant demonstrations in the DEDs has increased to tens of thousands. In addition to the AFD representatives in the German parliament, it is the first major opposition party in the Federal Parliament.threaten.

Since the unity, Saxon has been in charge of the leadership of the CIMC. This time, the CDU has only 29.7%, a sharp fall of nearly 10%over 4 years ago.And Brandenburg is also the base of the Social Democratic Party. The party's vote rate also fell nearly 11%compared with 2014, but both parties still ranked the largest party in the state.However, the great victory of the right party has caused the outside world to worry that the federal government may have a crisis.Because if the Social Democratic Party withdraws from Prime Minister Merkel, the CIMC -Civil Democratic Party ’s Great Government, the German Parliament, must re -hold the election, and the Social Democratic Party’ s performance may be worse.The Social Democratic Party is now in a dilemma: whether it should withdraw from the ruling alliance and rectify it again and again; or stay in the league temporarily, so as not to lose a seat in advance.

In addition, this time the Social Democratic Party received only 7.7%of the votes in Saxony, and has become the fifth largest party, showing a record low.Similarly, the Christian Democratic Alliance led by Prime Minister Merkel has also reduced to the third largest party in Brandonburg, and is a big blow to the crumbling Merkel ruling league.

Over the years, Germany has been the EU economy. In recent years, the economic situation has been very good, but due to the influence of the US -China trade war, the German economy has first decreased by 0.1%in the second quarter of this year.It may shrink again, causing the German economy to decline.

This election has become a key battle for the rebellion of the German multi -party political sector, which makes the division of German politics more serious.In October, there was also the election of Turinen. According to the current situation, the AFD party will still have a lot of gains. If the federal government reorganizes, and even the re -election of Congress, it will have a significant impact on the future development of the European Union.Essence
