Germany's Gen Z shifts right as voters prepare for Sunday election

ndtv.com

Germany's upcoming election on Sunday shows a notable shift among Gen Z voters, who are increasingly leaning towards right-wing parties. This contrasts with their support for environmental and social issues in 2021. Factors like the war in Ukraine, rising migration, and economic challenges have influenced this change. The CDU/CSU and the far-right AfD are gaining popularity, especially among younger voters, while the Greens have lost support. Social media, particularly TikTok, has played a significant role in shaping political views. Recent polls indicate that about 30% of voters remain undecided, which could impact the election outcome.
