Thuringia: the ultra-right of Bjoern Hoecke flies, the politician who parades with the neo-Nazis

BERLIN. New ultra-right boom in Thuringia. According to the first projections 24%, therefore one voter out of four, chose to put the cross on the AFD. A party led above all, in this Land of old East Germany, by a controversial character like Bjoern Hoecke. A politician known for having called the monument to the Holocaust "a shame" and for marching past the neo-Nazis and hooligans of Chemnitz in September 2018. Five years ago, the AFD had taken 10.6%.Excellent also the result received by the outgoing governor, Bodo Ramelow: his Linke reaches 29.7%, he earns a point compared to the last elections. Hot interviewee Ramelow said that "the vast majority chose democratic parties". To those who asked him about the AFD leap, Ramelow replied "76% did not vote for them". And he said he was satisfied with the high participation in the vote.
Ramelow's problem is that it does not seem to have the numbers to confirm the government with the SPD and the Greens. The Social Democrats suffer yet another defeat and fall below 10%, to 8.5%. Greens reach 5.5%. According to the CDU leader, Mike Mohring, who loses eleven points and slips to 22.5%, there is still the possibility of an alternative, if Ramelow fails to put together a government. For example with a Zimbabwe coalition: CDU-SPD-Verdi-FDP. But the FDP liberals will have to wait for the final results; they are at 5%, right on the threshold.What is certain, and the vice-chancellor Olaf Scholz (Spd) has already clarified it in an interview to theArd, is that "no one will make a coalition with the Afd".
