Capitals' response
The results of the Berlin and other German state elections focused on increasing support for extremist parties. The far-left party (Die Linke) in Berlin achieved a steady increase of 12%, reaching 26%, while the far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) doubled its share in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern from 17% to 38%. This reflects a shift in voter sentiment toward both left- and right-wing extremism at the expense of centrist parties. The Left Party now controls 47 out of 158 seats in Berlin, led by Elif Iralp, of Turkish origin, who emphasized issues related to housing and rent. This development occurs in the context of rejection of the AfD’s slogan advocating for the return of migrants to their home countries and a reaffirmation that the political system now relies on competence and fairness regardless of ethnic background. It highlights significant challenges facing Europe’s political system, despite the decline of centrist parties.
