Donald Trump praised the electoral success of Germany's conservative alliance and the far-right AfD party, interpreting it as a rejection of liberal policies. Friedrich Merz's bloc took a significant portion of parliamentary seats, setting the stage for his potential chancellorship. The AfD's historic gains, encouraged by figures such as Elon Musk and JD Vance, were seen as emblematic of a broader right-wing resurgence across Europe. Trump's enthusiastic response underscored parallels he drew between German and American political sentiments, framing the election results as a defeat for those advocating mass migration.
LOOKS LIKE THE CONSERVATIVE PARTY IN GERMANY HAS WON THE VERY BIG AND HIGHLY ANTICIPATED ELECTION. MUCH LIKE THE USA, THE PEOPLE OF GERMANY GOT TIRED OF THE NO COMMON SENSE AGENDA, ESPECIALLY ON ENERGY AND IMMIGRATION, THAT HAS PREVAILED FOR SO MANY YEARS.
The anti-immigration Alternative for Germany party (AfD) was projected to come in second with about one-fifth of parliament seats. AfD leader Alice Weidel called her party's Sunday showing a historic success.
