Germany’s far-right party AfD set to win German state election in Thuringia, exit polls show

Quick Glance: AfD Achieves Historic Win in State Election

This marks the first time a far-right party has secured the most seats in a German state parliament since World War II.

Venezuela's top court ratifies Maduro election win as government tightens control

reuters.com/world/americas/venezuelas-top-court-ratifies-maduro-election-win-government-tightens-control-2024-08-22/

Quick Glance: Court Affirms Maduro’s Election Amid Controversy

Venezuela's Supreme Court, aligned with Nicolás Maduro, ruled on Thursday that he won the July 28 presidential election, despite overwhelming evidence indicating his opponent received more votes. The court's decision was based on a report from 'national and international experts' but did not provide any voting data to support this claim.

This ruling was not unexpected, as the court has a history of endorsing Maduro's policies. The president is likely to use this decision to bolster his claim to the presidency as his new term begins in January and runs through 2031. Additionally, he may use this ruling to resist negotiations with the United States, Colombia, and Brazil.

On election night, Maduro's election council claimed he received over 50 percent of the vote, but the opposition asserted it won 67 percent and published detailed results. International condemnation of Maduro's victory claim is escalating, with even some of his fellow leftist leaders in Latin America expressing skepticism about his legitimacy.

Repression in Venezuela has intensified, with crackdowns on dissent and increased security force presence. Maduro's socialist movement, known as Chavismo, has been in power for 25 years, facing criticism for economic collapse and diminishing democratic norms. Experts view the court's decision as a clear signal of Maduro's intent to remain in power.

Quick Glance: AfD Leads in Thüringen, Tight Race in Sachsen Elections

Recent polls indicate that the AfD is significantly ahead in Thüringen, while a close contest exists between the CDU and AfD in Sachsen ahead of the state elections on September 1. According to the Forschungsgruppe Wahlen, the AfD would secure 30 percent of the votes in Thüringen, with the CDU at 23 percent, followed by the Bündnis Sahra Wagenknecht with 17 percent and the Left Party with 14 percent.

In Sachsen, the CDU is projected to receive 33 percent, closely followed by the AfD at 30 percent. The Bündnis Sahra Wagenknecht is at 11 percent, with the SPD at 7 percent and the Greens at 6 percent. The Left Party is expected to fall short of representation with 4 percent, along with the FDP, which also fails to meet the five-percent threshold.

Post-election coalition formation may be challenging, as all other parties have ruled out alliances with the AfD. The CDU has also rejected partnerships with the Left Party and Greens, while a coalition involving the CDU, BSW, and SPD appears feasible but remains contentious within the CDU.

The polls were conducted from Monday to Thursday, with around 1000 respondents for the ZDF survey and approximately 1570 for the ARD poll. The results suggest an uncertain future for the current governing coalitions in both states.

Quick Glance: Traffic Light Coalition Faces Pressure After Election Losses

The traffic light coalition parties achieve only about 14 percent in Saxony and around 10 percent in Thuringia, significantly impacting the political landscape in Berlin.

Political scientist Karl-Rudolf Korte highlights this historic poor performance, while AfD leader Alice Weidel refers to it as a 'requiem for the traffic light coalition.'

SPD Secretary Kevin Kühnert announces a stronger emancipation of the SPD following the elections, amid ongoing internal disputes among coalition partners.

FDP politician Wolfgang Kubicki states that the coalition has lost its legitimacy, raising the possibility of new elections, although Korte does not expect a coalition breakup.

Protests across Venezuela as election dispute continues: Opposition leader María Corina Machado joined thousands of demonstrators in the capital Caracas.

bbc.com/news/articles/cgedgqqy7x9o

Quick Glance: Venezuelan Opposition Vows Strong Resistance Against Maduro

People gathered in various cities in Venezuela and internationally, including Spain, Belgium, and Australia, in response to opposition leader Maria Corina Machado's call for a 'Protest for the Truth' to increase pressure on Maduro. The opposition claims that Edmundo Gonzalez Urrutia won the elections on July 28 by a significant margin.

Machado emerged from hiding to lead a rally in Caracas, emphasizing the right to peaceful protests and urging unity within the anti-Maduro movement. Demonstrators displayed national flags and voting records as proof of their claims, chanting 'Liberty!' while seeking to get closer to Machado.

Venezuela’s National Electoral Council declared Maduro the winner with 52 percent of the votes, while the opposition asserts that Gonzalez Urrutia received more than two-thirds. Maduro has threatened to arrest Machado and Gonzalez Urrutia for allegedly inciting a coup.

Anti-Maduro protests have resulted in 25 fatalities, with many demonstrating in cities like Sydney and Madrid for freedom and support for the Venezuelan people. The international community, including the U.S. and EU, has rejected Maduro's victory and expressed solidarity with the opposition.
