The right-wing Alternative for Germany party, known as AfD, won 16% of the vote in European Parliament elections, capturing a record number of votes and posing a challenge to Chancellor Scholz's government.
AfD's success in the election is seen as a major threat to the governing coalition's popularity, with calls for new parliamentary elections by party leader Alice Weidel.
The AfD's rise in support may have consequences on Europe's environmental initiatives and raise questions about the legitimacy of the current government.
The AfD, once considered a fringe group, is now under surveillance for extremism, with concerns over its impact on German democracy.
