Episode Details

In a close call, the Greens win Baden-Württemberg state election, marking a significant shift in Germanys political landscape. The center-right CDU, led by Friedrich Merz, narrowly lost to the Greens, who secured a come-from-behind victory with a more moderate stance and experienced candidate, Cem Özdemir. The far-right AfD nearly doubled its share, while the Social Democrats plummeted. The Greens and CDU are set to form a coalition, with Özdemir poised to become Germanys first state governor of Turkish descent. The next vote in Rhineland-Palatinate on March twenty-second and subsequent contests could further reshape the political scene.
