Protect the topic of Germany as the board in these early federal elections are close to finish for more details
00:05
We're going live with our special envoy Junus on air. Welcome Junus to from the south
00:14
Hello good afternoon good evening actually from Berlin the capital of the Federal Republic of Germany
00:20
I am right now in front of the federal headquarters of the
00:26
Christian Democratic Union you see the building
00:30
You see a huge line here
00:33
Waiting for people to enter this building. That is due to the fact that the Christian Democratic
00:41
Union the Conservative Party is has been leading the polls in the parliamentary elections of
00:49
Germany, which will be finished in
00:52
approximately
00:53
15 minutes at 6 o'clock local time the voting centers will close and at 6 o'clock and
01:01
one minute the national television will publish its
01:07
exit polls taken today over the day at the voting centers with more than
01:14
85,000 people interviewed by them in a representative way and these numbers will
01:20
Indicate or will they will not be any official numbers
01:23
But they will indicate how the seats of the 630
01:29
deputies
01:30
Parliament will be distributed among the parties the parties will react already to these
01:36
Numbers to these exit polls. They are considered kind of non-official but
01:42
Clear results now here in the polls the Christian Democratic Union has been leading on second place
01:49
Has been always with 20% the alternative for Germany part
01:55
ultra right-wing and
01:57
ultranationalist parties which has been criticized by the rest of all the parties as not being a democratic
02:04
party all the other parties have rejected
02:09
Collaboration or coalition with this party both at the federal level as well as in the different states of
02:17
Germany remember Germany is a federal state
02:20
So this is the second party and it is a big big question how they will end up in numbers
02:26
Third comes the Social Democrat Party
02:29
They have been on government until December together with the Greens and the Liberals
02:35
But their coalition has collapsed and thus they called for this early
02:42
Elections these elections were scheduled to occur in September
02:47
2025 but they have been
02:49
Advanced they have been taken to an earlier date due to the collapse of this coalition and the Social Democrats are entering these
02:58
elections with the expected fall of a result of 15%
03:03
Followed by the Greens who want to who are expected to achieve 13%
03:08
So one thing is clear already. No party will govern this country alone
03:14
there will be talks about coalitions, but the
03:19
Mathematics of these coalitions will become clearer from 6 o'clock on
03:23
When the final results of two smaller parties will get clear because there's a 5%
03:29
Threshold to enter the German Parliament and two parties the Liberals and the Alliance of Sarawak
03:36
They are in the polls between 4 and 6 percent
03:40
So they might enter or they might just fail to enter the German Parliament and that will of course affect the distribution of
03:48
seats in the Parliament among the other parties and affect
03:52
coalition
03:53
Calculations as for the time being there is much talk about the so-called grant coalition between the conservatives of the
04:00
Christian Democratic Union and the Social Democrats which might have to include a third
04:07
Partner that might be the Greens that might be the Liberals
04:10
But it seems pretty clear that after 6 o'clock a lot of talking will begin about possible
04:18
coalitions this is to be
04:20
Remains to be seen with 6 o'clock and one the first
04:25
non-official exit poll results coming in via state television all eyes are as I said on two factors
04:32
How will the extreme right end up in these elections and will the two?
04:39
Smaller parties make it into the Parliament or not thus affecting a possible future
04:46
coalition constellations, but as for the time being
04:49
Ridley smarts the candidate of the Christian Democratic Union is
04:54
very confident that he will lead the
04:57
Election people lead the establishment of a new government here
05:01
And he presented himself very confident yesterday in
05:05
Closing his campaign when he said the politics the left politics here in this country are over
05:10
We will have a turn in the economic policy. We will have a turn in migration policy
05:15
he also promised to strengthen German military and
05:19
To he called Europe to be more united facing Russia facing China, but also facing the United States
05:27
He said who goes there small
05:30
Will be attended as a small person there
05:32
so he presented himself already as the future can't Chancellor of the country, but we will
05:41
Wait for the final results that will come later in the evening starting from 6 o'clock and one minute on
05:49
