The most striking result from yesterday’s German election #btw2025 πŸ‡©πŸ‡ͺ:

πŸ”Ή 35 years after reunification: The GDR is redrawn on this map.
πŸ”Ή The AfD won 45 out of 48 electoral districts in the East.
πŸ”Ή In some parts of Saxony, they came close to 50%!

Why is this happening? Here’s my take πŸ‘‡

35 years after reunification and still many differences between East and West Germans persist - from tennis courts, childcare, voting, wages, and Olympic medals.
