What is just as shocking was the voter revulsion to Germany's ruling coalition: the three parties in Scholz’s ruling alliance — the Social Democrats, the Greens and the Free Democrats — between them got less than 15% in each of the two states, while the FDP missed the 5% threshold for getting into either regional parliament and the Greens fell short in Thuringia. The only mainstream party to do relatively well was the conservative CDU, which is projected to win in Saxony - by the narrowest of margin vs the ADP - and finish second in Thuringia. https://www.zerohedge.com/markets/german-ruling-coalition-crushed-regional-elections-afd-scores-first-victory-german-right
