See below the shift in voting intention in Germany — from the day of the Russian invasion, up to the present.
The ruling “traffic light coalition” 🚦stood at 53% on election day, and 50% on the day Russia invaded Ukraine. (SPD + Greens + FDP)
Today it polls at just 30% with the FDP party having been decimated and the SPD polling third below the “extreme right-wing” party AfD… (A truck crashed on the traffic lights 🚦💥)
Winning in Thuringia
Thuringia is the state that the AfD won the elections in last month.
Look at the change in vote since the last elections of 2019…AfD gained ~10% while the parties of the ruling coalition both lost.
Does it seem easy to ban this party? Laughable…
