In several East German towns, not a single voter backed the Greens, while the AfD achieved impressive results, securing around 70% of the second votes in some areas. This shift in voter preference has significant implications for German politics, with the AfD's popularity on the rise and the Greens struggling to maintain support. The far-right party's success can be attributed to its effective campaigning and resonance with local issues, making it a force to be reckoned with in German elections, particularly in terms of political polarization and right-wing populism.
