The upcoming German elections are anything but boring this time around, with tensions heightened by interventions from the Trump administration in support of the anti-immigration far-right and a series of high-profile attacks on Germany’s streets. The favorite to become chancellor is Friedrich Merz, who has questioned the future relationship with the United States. The Alternative for Germany, a far-right party led by Alice Weidel, is expected to make significant gains in the polls. Germany’s proportional multiparty system makes it difficult for one party to win outright, requiring coalition governments. Polling stations will open on Sunday, and the results will trickle in over the next hours. The rise of far-right parties like the AfD is a concern for Europe, including Germany, but it remains to be seen how much influence they will have. The country is facing economic challenges and questions about its future relationship with the United States, as well as military security. Overall, the political landscape in Germany is shifting, with various parties vying for power and uncertain coalition possibilities.
