State Election 2024 - Fateful Election for Brandenburg?

The upcoming state election in Brandenburg is shaping up to be a crucial one, with the CDU hoping to continue its upward trend and potentially deliver a knockout blow to the traffic light coalition. Jan Redmann, the CDU's leader, has been campaigning on issues such as bureaucracy, labor shortages, and high energy prices, and his party is focused on restoring clear conditions in the state.

However, the election campaign in Brandenburg is different from those in Saxony and Thuringia, as the CDU is currently the junior partner in a red-black-green coalition with the SPD. The polls show a three-way race between the SPD, AfD, and CDU, and the outcome of this election could have significant implications for the future of the traffic light coalition and the CDU's chances in the 2025 federal elections.

AfD Remains Strongest Force in Brandenburg according to Election ... Poll

According to a recent election poll, the far-right party AfD is leading with 27% support in Brandenburg, followed by SPD at 23% and CDU at 18%. The Greens and Left party are both below 5%. The Free Voters hope to secure a direct mandate. In the event of an AfD victory, Brandenburg's current SPD Minister-President, Dietmar Woidke, plans to resign. CDU is relying on an anti-traffic light coalition campaign with Redmann and Merz. The survey also revealed that 31% of respondents are in favor of AfD participation in the government, while 61% are against it. The most important issues for voters in Brandenburg are migration, education, and transportation. In a separate article, it is revealed that the rise of the AfD in eastern Germany is causing concern among experts, with over 24% of people with a migration background considering emigrating or changing federal states if the AfD comes to power. Experts urge mainstream parties to distance themselves from the AfD's far-right narrative to protect social harmony and public peace in Germany.

AfD leads SPD in Brandenburg state election

According to a recent survey, the far-right AfD party is ahead of the ruling SPD in the upcoming state election in Brandenburg. The survey shows the AfD at 27%, while the SPD is at 23%. The CDU is in third place with a slight decrease in support. The BSW and the Greens have also experienced a slight decrease in support. The survey indicates that the migration issue is the most important political topic for voters in Brandenburg. The AfD's success in Thuringia has influenced their strategy for the upcoming election. The BSW, which has been in talks with CDU-led governments, could also potentially play a role in the government if the other parties refuse to work with the AfD. The SPD is considering the possibility of being the opposition party if they do not come in first place. The potential for a BSW government participation is split among voters. The survey also highlights the importance of the Grundmandatsklausel, which allows parties to enter the state parliament based on the percentage of direct mandates won. Overall, the election outcome remains uncertain.

Politics
As of: 09/07/2024 09:56 AM The CDU hopes to continue its upward trend in the state election in Brandenburg - and to deliver a knockout blow to the traffic light coalition.
