Young Germans desert Greens for far-right

Deborah Cole

Germany’s ZDF public television said German voters under 30 went in droves to the far right, with +10 points for AfD and -18 points for Greens compared to five years ago. Many also turned to smaller parties such as Volt.

 

The result was notable as it was the first time 16 and 17 year olds were allowed to cast ballots in Germany in a European election.
