Germany's political parties are discussing the outcome of the European elections.
In the European election, the Union emerged as the top contender with around 30% of the votes. The AfD followed closely with around 16%. The SPD and Greens suffered losses, with the SPD losing about 14% and the Greens about 12%. The FDP secured around 5% of the votes. The left-wing party Bündnis Sahra Wagenknecht (BSW) founded by Sahra Wagenknecht, a former member of the Left Party, managed to earn about 6% of the votes. The Left Party itself garnered less than 3% and scored similarly to pro-European party Volt and the Free Voters.

The CSU and CDU, both representing the conservative bloc, saw a slight increase in their votes, holding onto their traditional strongholds in Bavaria and parts of Germany. The SPD and FDP will likely engage in coalition talks, as no single party was able to secure a majority. The political scene in Munich and Berlin will be influenced by these election results. The AfD's strong showing raises concerns about its anti-European stance, while the success of BSW and Volt indicates a growing divide within Germany's political landscape.
