The Alternative for Germany could overtake the social democrats of the SPD. But the breakthrough of the radical left should allow the emergence of a regional coalition to neutralize the extreme right.
Voters in Brandenburg (Berlin region) are called to vote this Sunday. The far-right AfD could overtake the Social Democrats. A new failure that could determine the fate of Olaf Scholz’s government.
After his historic victory at the beginning of the month in Thuringiawhere it came out on top, the far right could once again cause sparks to fly this weekend following the regional elections in Brandenburg.
In the capital region, the Alternative for Germany (AfD) could overtake the Social Democrats (SPD), the party of Chancellor Olaf Scholz.
According to the latest polls, the AfD would come out on top, followed by the SPD and the Christian Democratic Union (CDU). If the victory of the extreme right is confirmed, This would be the first time that the SPD has lost its leading position in the region since 1990. A political earthquake.
The radical left-wing Sarah Wagenknecht Alliance (BSW) is also expected to enter the state parliament just a few months after its founding and also after the success of the recent elections in East Germany.
In view of the double-digit polls, BSW could play decisive role in preventing AfD from being part of new regional governmenteven if the far right comes out on top. For SPD regional leader Dietmar Woidke, the election results will have an impact not only on his party but also on his political future. He announced that if the SPD does not win, he will retire from politics.
