The interim result of the European elections in Brandenburg indicates a triumph for the AfD, while the SPD may be facing a loss with only 12.2% of the votes. The AfD's strong performance in the European elections in 2019, where they secured 19.9%, was surpassed only by the CDU with 18.0% and the SPD with 17.2%. The upcoming state parliamentary elections and the recent municipal elections in Brandenburg add complexity to the interpretation of these results. The eu-wide European elections in Potsdam and throughout Europe are significant, despite not being directly comparable to the state elections. The Euro-party alliance 'The Greens' and 'The Left' each received 3.9% in the European elections, narrowly overtaking the FDP with 2.6%. The AfD, CDU, SPD, The Greens, The Left, and FDP are all major political parties in EU and Brandenburg elections.
