Germany's ruling coalition parties suffered a crushing defeat in key regional elections, while far-right parties made significant gains. The Christian Democrats were re-elected in Bavaria and Hesse, rebuking the ruling coalition led by Chancellor Olaf Scholz's Social Democrats (SPD), the Greens, and the liberal party. The surge of far-right parties in the state elections is bad news for Scholz and his left-of-center coalition. The outcome will have serious consequences in both Berlin and Brussels. The rise of the far-right in Germany's political landscape is alarming and indicates a sharp turn to the right by the German public.
Every one of Germany's states is now led by a coalition of two or more parties. Nor does any party register more than 30% of the vote on the federal level. Their post-war largely bipartisan system is officially over.
