Far-right AfD and socialist left win over young Germans in shocking election result

Young Germans are shifting their vote towards the extremes of the political spectrum, with most supporting either the socialist left-wing party Die Linke or the far-right AfD alternative in Sunday's election results. A significant number of young voters have defected from traditional center-ground parties, opting instead for ideologies that align with their views on issues such as immigration and economic inequality. The trend is seen as a worrying sign for mainstream politics in Germany, which has long prided itself on its stability and social cohesion. The AfD's surge to popularity among young voters has sparked concerns about the potential rise of extremism in the country.
