Polling stations in Germany opened the Pivolell Snap for the National Election on Sunday, which is expected to look at the orthodox power and the distance who achieved the best results as a sick economic powerhouse in Europe gave his best results. After the weeks of weeks of the weeks of dominating the economy of Germany and the fatal attacks that make migration and security a focal issue, Germans are voting to choose a government, which US President Donald Trump and Under New, the breakdown of the transatlantic alliance will have to be dealt with. The threat to European security in closely viewed votes in Europe and America.
Voting started at 8:00 am (0700 GMT), in which more than 59 million Germans are eligible to cast ballots and first estimate based on estimates based on elections based on elections based on elections at 6:00 pm (1700 GMT) It was expected after the election.
69 -year -old conservative leader Frederick Merz has consistently led the elections to become the next Chancellor of Germany. He promised to fix most of the problems in four years – Europe’s largest economy and a long order for a serious infrastructure.
If Merz’s Christian Democrats (CDU) wins, they will need to tie up with at least one other party, most likely the social democrats of Olaf Sholaz, whose government fell at the end of the previous year.
Government formation
However, after a campaign, the post -pole coalition dialogue is expected to be difficult, in which a sharp division on the migration is highlighted and how to deal with the option of Germany (AFD) in a country Nazi past.
This unpopular Chancellor Olaf can leave the scools in a caretaker role for months, can delay immediate requirement policies to revive Europe’s largest economy after two consecutive years of contraction and as companies struggle against global rivals She does It will create a leadership vacuum in the heart of Europe, even it belongs to a host of challenges, including US President Donald Trump’s trade war threats and a ceasefire deals for Ukraine without European participation Try to track fast.
Germany, which has an export-oriented economy and has long been dependent on the US for its safety, is particularly weak. According to Pollster Gallup, Germans are more pessimistic about their standard of living since the financial crisis in 2008.
The attitude towards migration has also become rigid, a thorough change in the German public spirit since its “reception of refugees” culture during Europe’s migrant crisis in 2015.
Coalition option
European Union colleagues are carefully hoped that a more consistent government capable of helping further policy in election homes and blocks may give. Some also hope that Merz will improve “debt brake”, a constitutional mechanism to limit government borrowings that critics have strangled new investment.
The most likely result of this election, analysts said, “There is a tie-up of the conservative block of Christian Democrats (CDU) and Christian Social Union (CSU) with SPD, which is third in another uncomfortable” Grand Alliance ” Voting “, according to a report by Reuters.
Polls, however, suggests that another three-way alliance may be necessary if many small parties create a 5 percent limit to enter Parliament, complicating talks.
A civil servant told the Reuters, “Many of my friends are going to vote for conservatives because this government did not work so well and the international level of merge is quite good.”
“I hope enough parties agree to a government so that they can leave AFD.”
Emergence of remote rights
Sunday election follows the fall in a line last November last November in a line at a row at a row in a line last November last November. SPD World War has been leading to its worst result since two.
The fierce exchange over the election campaign has dominated the disruption that is out of irregular immigration control, fuel by a series of attacks in which suspected criminals were of migrant origin.
It has also been seen by unusually powerful shows of solidarity by members of the Trump administration – including Vice President JD Vance and Tech billionaire Elon Musk – for migrant AFD, and broadside against European leaders.
The 12 -year -old AFD is on track for the first time in the national election.
However, AFD is unlikely to rule for now as all mainstream parties have refused to work with it, although some analysts believe that it may pave the way for the AFD win in 2029. Nevertheless, its strength, with a small but important vote. Share far-left and share the formation of coalition and governance for the decline of large-left parties of Germany.
