The distant parties of Germany are having polling polls in the eastern region of the country on February 23rd for two weeks before the federal election. And the economic concern has played his reputation.
After the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989, local businesses and businesses were very widespread in the eastern economy of Germany and the unemployment rose. The federal government spent hundreds of thousand million euros in increasing the economy of the region and developing its infrastructure, the incident has left a sour flavor in the mouth of many regions.
“Since the transformation of the 1990s, the usual feeling of security has been a part of the German population in Germany”, a political scientist in Dresden, CNBC said.
This has worked in the hands of German fuer deutschland (AFD) and Historically another party that plays much better in East Germany.
The Germans will give two votes in next week’s surveys: the candidate will represent its components directly, and for a party.
Last polling and modeling YojoGov The Constitution vote shows something in the eastern right wing of the eastern Germany. In most east components, AFD candidates are at the beginning. This is not going on throughout the country.
CDU, is a member of the CSU, is the main nation feis About 30% of the vote, while AFD is in second place, is about 20% due to the growing support for the country’s party. AFD obtained more than 10% of the vote last Federal elections.
It is unlikely to join the next coalition authority, as the main aspects refused to partner with AFD.
Economic perceptions vs. reality
After the fall of the Berlin wall after the German meeting, Germany was lower in the Eastern Economic Economy, compared to more unemployment and weaker growth compared to the west.
These issues have largely disappeared, and factors like economic growth and unemployment are no longer great concerns, according to Schmieding Holger, the main economist of the Benberg.
The IFO IFO Institute of Germany is projecting 0.7% economic growth East Germany This year, it is expected more than the country usual. Data The German Employment Agency is shown from the Federal East German unemployment rate with more than half of its height, compared to western unemployment.
Somehow, the East German States are in front of western members, Schmieding said.
“Adapted to the eastern life costs, Eastern German standards are no longer below those in the west. The infrastructure is deeper and better than most of the western places,” CNBC said.
However, residents in East Germany still have a negative perception of the economy, according to 2024 Research carried out German economic institute (IW). East said less than a third of the German respondents said how it was developed and only one in five people who believed that he lived in conjunction with emerging growth.
Matthias Diermeier, IW Democracy, Social and Market Economy said that the AFD supporters have been concerned about their personal economic situation, compared to others, “The perception of economy is a lot of their perception” worse “.
The wide majority of AFD voters say that they are very worried about the wider economy, with other respects that are at the other end of this spectrum, Diorenier added.
AFD configures financial security
IW has left the differences between East and West Germany, Diermeier stated.
“This is unfair, unfair. These political actors are very very activated,” he also explained that the right far distance has worked to work to arouse the economic security, and the social decline of voters.
“And they do this very successfully,” Diermeier said.
At the same time, the AFD questions the accuracy of positive economic news, and the economy works well – the “easy game” plays the main party, statistical agencies and the decreased number of other-controlled states, he said.
AFD did not respond to CNBC’s comment request.
Tu Dresden Weisskircher also stated that the historical context is an important factor.
“The economy is important because of the feeling of long-term security and economic publications, in the 1990s and in the early 2000s, in a region, there was high unemployment rates, among other problems,” he said.
Anti-immigration, anti-climate change against establishment
It is not only economic concerns that have been promoted by the success of AFD to the east Germany.
The opposition against immigration is much higher in east Germany, and the main aspects have a more loyal basis for the region, where there were not before the national association, Weisiskircher said.
Skipticism of climate change and green energy policies is part of the AFD campaign. The wind turbines, in particular, has become a discussed topic, AFD to make Alice Chandidate to call Alice Weidel to make calls for the next election.
AFD is also the party that represent those who have left behind.
The number of German Germans is growing in favor of major cities in the main cities, which has been explained by Berenberg Schmieding, which weighed in local companies, services and development. The remaining areas are the main objectives for the AFD’s rhetoric, and, according to the IWren Diermeier, the research has shown that these demographics have a greater tendency to vote for the right side.
