the far right has won a state election for the first time in post World War II Germany now celebrating a historic win following Regional elections in the east of the country Chancellor Olaf schz should draw the conclusions and together with his Coalition Partners pack his backs and clear out because the voters want a different government they want a different policy the voters have given us a very clear government mandate in Thia and Saxony while she may be right the afd needs to join forces with other parties all others say no refusing to form a coalition with it so at this stage the result is largely symbolic next year is a federal election so there's still time for central government to react and regroup third place in the East the new populist leftwing BSW party could now be in a powerful position we have become a force to be reckoned with in Germany a party that didn't even exist a year ago founded in January it has so much support this means we can make a difference but the anti-migration afd cannot be ignored securing big gains with thousands voting for this man one of the hardest right-wing figures be hucker leader of the afd in theia ruled and fined by lawmakers for using Nazi slogans with with that in mind people are worried history will be repeated I think it's a shame also because of our German history that a right-wing extremist party is once again represented here I think it's sad that it turned out this way I'm disappointed the afd is dangerous I think the Democratic parties need to get together and face whatever consequences sure it will be difficult but they need to work together and find a solution questions are now raised on the streets of Eastern Germany about the legitimacy of the government in Berlin people want change but there's an underlying anxiety as to exactly what that means a country that has spent decades moving past far-right extremism now brings it back to Power at least in the east of the country sh to Edward stashi trt World Dron
