  • Chancellor Olaf Scholz is expected to be voted out of office as Europe's biggest economy goes to the polls. Sky News looks at the key issues in the elections and what could happen next.

The article from Sky News discusses the upcoming European Parliament elections in Germany, focusing on the potential rise of the far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) party. It highlights that AfD could become the second-largest party, surpassing the Social Democrats (SPD) led by Chancellor Olaf Scholz. This shift is attributed to several factors including dissatisfaction with the current government's handling of various issues like migration, economic stability, and environmental policies. The article also mentions the internal conflicts within AfD, particularly between its more moderate and extremist wings, and the impact of recent scandals involving its members. Furthermore, it outlines the broader political landscape, noting the competition among the ruling coalition parties (SPD, Greens, and FDP) and the conservative CDU/CSU bloc, which is expected to retain its position as the largest party. The elections are seen as a critical test for Scholz's government, with potential implications for Germany's domestic and European policies.
