Remarkably, youth votes were not insignificant in Sunday’s elections. Thirty-seven percent of voters aged between 18 and 24 voted for the AfD in Thuringia, where AfD came first with 32.8%. The party also did well among 25 to 34-year-olds and 35 to 44-year-olds, gaining 34% of the votes.

The Sahra Wagenknecht Alliance (BSW), which supports stopping arms supplies to Ukraine and curbing immigration, emerged third in both electoral contests, with 15.8% in Thuringia and 11.8% in Saxony. Notably, both the AfD and BSW have urged for the government to cease deploying arms to Kyiv, and concentrate on peace talks to end the Russo-Ukrainian conflict instead.

Evidently, these recent results indicate voters’ unhappiness with Germany’s ruling elites, comprising  parties belonging to the three-party, “Ampelkoalition” (or “traffic light”) coalition in Berlin.

For instance, the Social Democrats (SPD) only managed to garner 7.3% of the vote in Saxony and 6.1% in Thuringia. On their end, the Greens gained just above the 5% threshold needed to enter parliament in Saxony but won only 3.2% in Thuringia. Most embarrassingly of all, voters thrust the liberal Free Democratic Party (FDP) into oblivion, for the FDP did not even win any seats at all in both Saxony and Thuringia. 

Ask Germans what their main concerns are. Immigration tops the list, followed by energy prices, war and the economy.

Following the election outcome, AfD leader in Thuringia, Björn Höcke,  proclaimed that “we are ready to take on government responsibility”, in comments cited by Sputnik News. 

Likewise, the co-chair of the AfD, Tino Chrupalla declared:

“One thing is very clear: the will of the voters is that there should be a change in policy. We have a clear mandate to govern in Thuringia.”

His political opponent, Omid Nouripour, co-leader of the Greens, bemoaned the results and portrayed them as “a profound turning point” in German history, according to Sputnik News. 

“An openly right-wing extremist party has become the strongest force in a state parliament for the first time since 1949, and that causes many people very deep concern and fear,” Nouripour added, in statements quoted by Russia Today (RT). 

As RT columnist Rachel Marsden put it, the question for Nouripour and his hysterical sycophants remains; if the AfD causes such “deep fear”, why is it that a significant percentage of German voters nevertheless voted for it? 

In wake of Sunday’s results, news outlet Tichys Einblick asserted realistically that “the traffic light coalition is politically dead.” 

“For the chancellor [Olaf Scholz], it would now be time to ask for a vote of confidence to enable new elections,” news outlet Junge Freiheit remarked as well. 

Acknowledging the dismal failure of Germany’s leftist government in combating rising living costs, unbridled migration, and deteriorating public safety (especially in light of a spate of violent knife attacks), leftist media outlets like The Guardian (a.k.a. “the Guardian of Socialism”) have castigated the AfD as a “far-right” party, while rightly stating that the brahmins in Germany’s top echelons of government should deal with voters’ concerns. For instance, here reads an excerpt from an opinion piece in The Guardian:

“Ask Germans what their main concerns are. Immigration tops the list, followed by energy prices, war and the economy. The word I heard over and over again in recent months was angst. Given that a growing number of immigrants are being charged with violent crimes, which are on the rise, many feel this is an issue of safety. But this is not just about immigration: people cite a deeper fear for the economic and political future of the country, amplified in the east but prevalent across Germany and the west.”

FDP leader Christian Lindner lamented  that the recent election results showed that Germans were “fed up” that the leadership of the country crumbled in face of the sobering problem of widespread migration, according to The European Conservative. Indeed, in the run-up to the elections, the German government's feeble attempts to do damage control following the catastrophic knife attack on Solingen by a migrant did not go down well with voters.

Such leftist intransigence is not surprising, given their childish track record in rejecting common sense and shunning basic diplomacy to prevent existing conflicts, such as the one between Russia and Ukraine, from escalating.

“The German government has lost its legitimacy”, conceded Wolfgang Kubicki, an eminent FDP politician. “People have the impression that the ruling coalition is harming the country. If such a significant proportion of the voters refuse to support it, this must have consequences.” 

On the same note, Vyacheslav Volodin, the speaker of the Russian State Duma, stated that the recent German elections display voters’ rejection of Scholz’ disastrous policies. 

The Germans have told Scholz: ‘You should leave,’” Volodin declared. Adding, Volodin said: 

“Judging by the results of the elections in Saxony and Thuringia, it is hard to imagine how [Scholz] and his government will manage to govern Germany for one more year. The elections have shown that the citizens of Germany do not want to lose their own country.”

Nonetheless, in a blatant snub to democracy and voters’ wishes, CDU general secretary Carsten Linnemann asserted that his party does not “form coalitions with the AfD”, despite the AfD’s Chrupalla, maintaining that they “are ready and willing to talk to all parties”.

Also delusional about the election results was Katina Schubert, deputy leader of the far-left Die Linke.  The very fact that Schubert said on September 2 that “young men who vote for the AfD”, and not migration, is the problem, discloses how detached Germany’s globalist mandarins are from ordinary Germans. 

Echoing Schubert’s fantastical views was none other than German Chancellor Olaf Scholz of the SPD. Scholz called on mainstream parties to establish governments without “right-wing extremists”, claiming that the AfD was “damaging Germany. It is weakening the economy, dividing society and ruining our country’s reputation.”

Such leftist intransigence is not surprising, given their childish track record in rejecting common sense and shunning basic diplomacy to prevent existing conflicts, such as the one between Russia and Ukraine, from escalating. While rejecting voters’ actual sentiments, these war-mongering mandarins in the German elite are still likely to preach to others about the need for “democracy” against “Kremlin disinformation”.
