The CDU lost a key Baden-Württemberg state election to the Greens, who secured 30.2% with candidate Cem Özdemir, while the far-right AfD nearly doubled its support to 19%.

Baden-Württemberg's March 8 election features a competitive race between the CDU and Greens, with the CDU holding a slight polling lead but the outcome remaining uncertain as the Greens' popular candidate Cem Özdemir gains ground.

The AfD's rise showcases tensions between democracy and extremism in Germany, raising questions about legitimacy and system integrity.
