far too high and i wish that the numbers would come down and i seriously believe that the german bundestag without the alternative of a doctrine would be a better place than with the f.t. but it will drive the narrative driving the debate about immigration with the fact that it was only fifteen percent of germans who voted for them is neither here nor there they're in charge of the narrative never not in charge of the narrative these people in the f.t. are giving very very simple i would say simplistic answers to very complex questions we have to make clear about politics is more than just giving simple answers you have to work hard and that's why i welcome up the government has now finally decided to. go back to work to concentrate on the serious issues what we have to avoid is internal party fighting and also internal coalition fighting it's normal to look for compromise in a coalition but what we experienced in the last few weeks wasn't very helpful and the only party which really benefited was a if the right there that's why the better work we deliver the better we can make possible he

parliaments all of the state parliaments across germany and of course the national parliament the bundestag a day party leadership understandably happy at the result with the people's party the f.t. is now represented in every german region after the grey. success it has also big winners on the night were the green party they've continued momentum that they've generated over the past few months it really is quite a surprise if you cast your mind back just over a year ago in the general election here in germany the greens the line into the bundestag now we've seen them make great grounds in local elections in bavaria they've just done the same thing and look like they will be a key part in forming the local government their votes where this win is there has to be losers and in this case the losers again were the wealthy parties representing the ruling grand coalition angela merkel's christian democratic union and the social democratic party both dropped around ten percent in the polls those votes going either to the greens or to alternative for germany for the most part what we have seen tho

back to last year in the general election here they limped over the line to take seats up in the bundestag twenty eight hundred been a very different story though they gained a large amount of ground in bavaria in state elections they've done the same thing as well so the greens it was a great night for them also a great night for supporters of alternative for germany they picked up around thirteen percent ballsy them into the state parliament of passive for the first time meaning that's well in the state where they were founded back in twenty thirteen the first meeting took place it means that they've now got representation in all sixteen states in germany as well as the national parliament in the bundestag their leadership party leadership clearly very happy with the result on sunday evening with the people's party the f.t. is now represented in every german region after the great success it has. well where there's when is there has to be loses in the for the christian democratic union i'm going to merkel's party they will register their worst result in the state of hesse or in fifty yea

you think that just last year they looked almost out of it limping across the line into the the bundestag now they've they've made great gains in bavaria now in hessen and also. election if you take as a big success for the alternative for germany party they received thirteen percent of the vote there into the parliament in hester for the first time that means that they now represented in all sixteen of the state parliaments of germany as well as of course be represented in the bundestag so a good night for them their leadership clearly very happy with the result. with the people's party the f.t. is now represented in every german region after the great success it has. well just go back through the latest news off the back of that election has set a miracle the german chancellor said that she won't seek reelection as the party chairwoman of the christian democratic union we're expecting to hear from her a little later on on monday with all of the latest the call firm what's going on here in berlin well we'll find out as you said about two hours time paid for now thanks for the day if you'

just distortion of facts on the right wing populist is the strongest opposition party in the german bundestag they are vehemently opposed to a refugee policy does that make them a non-christian party. not rejecting refugee policy perceval that could be acceptable but the way the a.f.p. rejects immigration is largely unchristian putting all refugees under suspicion treating them as if they were all the same and promoting a nationalism by which you're only german if you've been living here for generations of that is diametrically opposed to what we understand as christian and we reject this absolutely. then he will share your views yet the he's increasingly popular do you have an explanation for that. seems to be the big question with populist movements in europe in general is that i think different people are voting for them and people who feel abandoned by society or who feel that they and their problems are not being seen. if we look at low paid workers not people on welfare but low earners they sometimes feel excluded from what they see as high brow discussion else. going on but there are m

held this sunday the conservatives and the social democrats would no longer have a majority in the bundestag the conservative union made up of merkel c.d.u. and the bavarian c.s.u. would receive just a quarter of the vote a record low. but the greens are on the up with seventeen percent. as is the far right alternative for germany party or with sixteen percent the social democrats would garner just fifteen percent making them only the fourth strongest party their worst result ever the pro-business f.d.p. and the left party would both walk away with ten percent. and surprisingly three quarters of germans are either dissatisfied or very dissatisfied with the current government. only one in four is satisfied or even very satisfied. in the last months chancellor. c.s.u. leader. and. were repeatedly forced to hold crisis summits each time they only narrowly avoided a coalition breakdown that has harmed the country's leader most of all more than half of germans blame for the state of the german government. one third thinks interior minister horse is responsible he is losing support just before the

this you do you again and i will also not be running as a candidate for the lower house upon the bundestag and i'd also like to note i will not be taking on any other political positions either thirdly for the rest of this parliamentary term i'm prepared to continue to serve as chancellor and forth yes that means that to a large extent i am turning away from what i've always said which is that i believe that the chair of the party and the chancellorship should go together yes this is a bit of a risk but i believe having weighed things out very carefully it is. a risk that any i ought to take and want to take and if i wanted to run. as chancellor again then i wouldn't have taken this decision. this is all about the votes germany's major party is a losing support in the mind the party is getting stronger the far right is not present in all of germany state parliament so sum up for us the change to german party landscape you know there's been so much focus on the far right and it's correct to watch its rise with a concern but the fact is there's another message that we see coming out of these

the president of the bundestag there touching on the challenge of migration he also touched on another number of other issues as well what did you make of the speech that he delivered. well it was a very thoughtful very searching at times very philosophical speech and i think in the end what he was trying to say is that the celebration of unity not only concerns the unity between germans from the east and west which is obviously the reason why we are celebrating the state today but he was also trying to extend this idea of unity to the need for unity between different parts of the population not just east and west but also the poor and the more well to do the political elites and those who feel that the political elite has somehow left them behind and also including migrants who have come into germany in larger numbers in the last few years so the idea of unity the idea of being. a unified country where people look after each other or something i think that he was trying to emphasize on this day of unity and twenty eight years after this political unification what are the main differen
