Sholz said that this is a bitter election result for his Social Democratic Party (SPD), this is our election defeat. Addressing the merge, he said that congratulations for your victory in the election.

At the same time, right -wing Alternative for Germany (AFD) secured 20% of the votes, and she finished second. This is the best performance of AFD so far. While Olaf Sholj's Social Democratic Party (SPD) got 16.5% votes, which is the worst performance after World War II.
Performance of other parties
Greens got 12%, Free Democratic Party (FDP) got 5% (minimum limit for admission to Parliament), Left Party (Die LINKE) 9% and BSW (Sahra Wagenknech's break -out left party) has got 5% votes.
Challenge to form a new government
Frederick Mars has not taken any government post yet, now we will face the challenge of forming a strong alliance. He has promised strong leadership and international cooperation, but it will not be easy to form an alliance in the scattered political scenario. Immigration and AFD's role during the election campaign were the major issues. The mainstream parties are not ready to combine with AFD, as the history of Germany has been influenced by right -wing politics.
Will the Showlz be caretaker Chancellor?
Sholz can remain the caretaker Chancellor until the coalition talks are complete. During this time, there will be many challenges in front of the economy of Germany, because the country has been facing economic recession for two consecutive years.
Increased impact of immigration and AFD
In 2015, when Germany welcomed a large number of refugees, the attitude towards immigration has now changed in the public. At the same time, AFD, which was at number 2 in the election, has strengthened its position by taking advantage of this change, although it can still be kept out of joining the government.
Economy and future policies
Frederick Mars has suggested a review of Germany's “loan break” law, which sets a limit to the government's borrowing, their supporters believe that if this policy is changed then investment in the country can increase and economic The situation can improve.
Trump congratulated Frederick Merge
US President Donald Trump said that the Conservative Party in Germany has won a very big and highly awaited election. Just like we have won in America. The people of Germany were fed up with without logic policies on issues like energy and immigration, which have been dominating for many years. This is a great day for Germany and for America. Greetings to all. Many more Victory is coming to come.
