Germany's 2025 Bundestag election has reshaped the political scene.

The Social Democrats (SPD) suffered their worst defeat in history, losing over 1.8 million voters to the conservative CDU/CSU.

The Free Democrats (FDP) also faced significant losses, barely securing their place in parliament.

Meanwhile, the CDU/CSU emerged as the main beneficiary, gaining votes from former SPD and FDP supporters, as well as non-voters.

The far-right AfD achieved a record result, particularly among younger voters, but remains controversial, with most Germans opposing its inclusion in government.

On the left, the Linke party saw a surprising resurgence, especially among young urban voters, thanks to a focus on social issues and viral campaigns.

The Greens maintained stability, offsetting minor losses with gains from other parties.

This election highlights a generational and ideological divide, with younger voters favoring progressive and far-right options, while older voters leaned conservative.
