Despite the Christian Democratic Union's slight victory, it marked their second worst showing historically. Concern over growing conservatism and anti-immigration sentiment is highlighted, with observations on the strengthening of Die Linke, a leftist party. The author provides insights from her husband, a former German parliament member, on the implications of these results.
With the highest voter turnout since 1987, Germans shifted their political landscape to the right, with a surprise at the other end of the spectrum.
