• For the first time since the Nazi era, a far-right party, Alternativa für Deutschland (AfD), has won regional elections in Thuringia, Germany.
• The party gained 32.8% of votes in Thuringia, topping traditional parties such as CDU and SPD.
• The parties that make up the Federal Government have suffered a significant setback in these elections.
• The new leftist party BSW, created just a few months ago, captured 15% of the votes.
• The anti-immigrant agenda has become one of the main attractions for AfD voters.
• Traditional parties have suffered a major loss, putting their position in the upcoming elections in Brandenburg at risk.
• The growth of AfD suggests a significant social change, with 38% of its voters being young people aged 18 to 24.

Conclusion: These results reflect a major shift in the preferences of German voters, especially in the eastern parts of the country. The rising popularity of parties with anti-immigrant and nationalist agendas is an indicator of the growing challenges faced by traditional parties.
