GERMAN STATE ELECTIONS-BAVARAIA AND HESSE

Today was Election Day in two German states.

Voters going to the polls electing state legislatures in Bavaria where Munich is located and Hesse which includes Frankfurt.

Harsh economic conditions linked to the Ukraine War and "Green" policies shifting voter sentiment away from the government parties (Social Democrats, Greens, Free Democrats) towards the Alternative for Germany (AfD) party.

The projection in Bavaria showing a major rise in support for the AfD and losses in support for the federal government parties.

But the existing local coalition of the Christian Social Union and Free Voters is winning a majority.

In Hesse the Christian Democrats gaining popular support along with the AfD while the federal government parties the Social Democrats, Greens and Free Democrats all lost support...TAGESSCHAU GERMANY (TRANSLATION PROMPT)
