Greens in Germany see big surge, far-right gains

(ANSA-AP) - BRUSSELS, 26 MAG - An exit poll shows Germany's
governing parties losing significant ground in the European
Parliament election, with big gains for the Greens party and a
much smaller increase for the far-right.
The ARD television exit poll put support for Chancellor
Angela Merkel's center-right Union bloc at 28% and showed their
coalition partners in Berlin, the center-left Social Democrats,
dropping to a dismal 15.5%. Five years ago, those parties took
35.4% and 27.3% respectively of the vote. It showed the Greens
easily taking second place with 22% - double their result five
years ago.
The far-right Alternative for Germany was seen with 10.5%
support, better than its showing in 2014 but less than it scored
in Germany's last national election in 2017. (ANSA-AP).
