  • The far-right AfD likely will score its best ever result as Europe's ailing economic powerhouse lurches rightwards. The conservative CDU/CSU bloc is set to win, but will be unlikely to secure a majority.

The article from Reuters discusses the upcoming regional elections in Germany, specifically in Hesse and Bavaria, where the conservative parties, CDU and CSU, are expected to secure victories. The elections are taking place amidst a backdrop of economic gloom, with Germany facing challenges like high inflation, an energy crisis, and a sluggish economy. Public sentiment is notably pessimistic, with many Germans feeling that their country is in decline. The conservative parties are capitalizing on this dissatisfaction, focusing on issues like immigration, security, and economic stability. Meanwhile, the ruling coalition of Social Democrats, Greens, and Free Democrats is experiencing internal strife and declining popularity, which might further benefit the conservatives. The elections are seen as a significant test for Chancellor Olaf Scholz's government, with potential implications for national politics.
