Voters Give Germany’s Ruling Green Coalition A Beating In State Elections

German voters sent a loud and clear message to the socialist/green government in Berlin

Elections were held in the German states of Hesse and Bavaria with more than 13.5 million citizens being called to the polls today.

The first tabulated results, normally quite accurate, show the nationwide ruling coalition government parties comprising of the SPD Social Democrats, Alliance Greens, and the FDP Liberal Democrats seeing major losses as citizens expressed their general disapproval of the government’s green policies and immigration.

Hesse results

Compared to the last election in 2018, the SPD, Greens, and FDP lost massively in Hessen:

The center-right CDU and hard-right AFD emerged as the clear winners. But CDU will likely form a coalition with the SPD or Greens.

Bavaria

In Bavaria, the results were also a devastating signal for the German government in Berlin, with its coalition parties losing a large share of voters:

In Bavaria, even the CSU conservatives lost 0.5 percent. Twenty-five years ago, the CSU got over 60 percent.

The clear winner was the hard-right AfD party reaching almost 16 percent of the vote.

The FDP party failed to even reach the five percent threshold needed to have seats in the Bavarian Parliament, and so will no longer be represented in parliament.

In summary, voters are deeply dissatisfied with the policies of the ruling socialist-green government in Berlin and clearly reject their green schemes and wide open borders.
