Germany, slap in the face to Merkel in Hamburg the Cdu collapses, the Green double

the BERLIN - on Sunday, hours eighteen. A few seconds after the first screenings, at the headquarters of the Green can catch the choirs, “Nazis raus”, “out of the” nazi: the ultra-right Afd seems to have stopped under the threshold of 5%, the barrier to enter in the parlamentino regional. Instead, the final results of the elections in Hamburg - the first after the chaos in Thuringia, for the first time after the massacre, neo-nazi Hanau - confirm that the Afd is passed to a breath: 5.3%). And anyway, compared to five years ago, has lost nearly a point.

The real surprise of these elections in the hanseatic city that makes the Land itself is represented by the Green, celebrating the doubling of votes compared to five years ago, even if you are not able to fulfill the dream of mayor green, on which they had set up the election campaign: they put the mark of 24.2%, increasing by almost 12 points compared to the last regional.

The long wave of Thuringia has, instead, slaughtered the Cdu fell almost five points to 11.2%. It is one of the worst results in the history of the last great Volkspartei. The scandal of the governor elected with the votes of the Afd in the region of the East and the current disorder to the top after the resignation of Annegret Kramp-Karrenbauer they have disappointed the electorate by the conservative hamburg. Between 16-24 who was just 6% to vote for the conservatives.

The Spd of outgoing mayor Peter Tschentscher falls down 6.6 points to 39%, but it is a number that is still to come, shining eyes to so many social democrats at the federal level are now precipitated from months to 14%. Above all, it is a result that does reflect: Tschentscher is a social-democratic center, that it has refused to turn the left of the current leaders of the party, Saskia Esken and Norbert Walter-Borjans.

The two were kept deliberately out of the election campaign, and have not ever put foot to Hamburg, and Tschentscher has managed to collect an excellent result and to prevent the overtaking of the Green. Representing the right wing of the party, the mayor stands in the tradition of social-democratic of the hanseatic city, which runs from Helmut Schmidt to Olaf Scholz. For the government the future of Hamburg, many are betting on a coalition of Spd-Greens, who together have more than 60% of the votes. Even if the outgoing mayor, said he wanted to explore also the Cdu - a junior partner more rain would ensure more power to his party.
