German Reg. Elections : Socialdems cashed, Christiandemocrats 1st, CDU/FDP New Majority in Saxony
Spectacular failure for Socialdems (SPD), strong 1st place for Cristiandemocrats (CDU), and possibility for New Majority CDU/FDP in Saxen. Usual SPD partners : the Greens are down, the Liberals do better, and Linke (left) is up : These are the main results of the 3 Regional (Länder) Elections in Germany this Sunday, 29 August 2009.
Facts :
- CDU comes everywhere 1st, distancing with a difference of + 10% (Saarland) + 13% (Thuringen) and + 30 % more (Saxony), its main competitor, SPD.

- The Linke (Left) marks good scores, with 20, 21; and 27% : It becomes the real opposition, after SPD was marginalized.
- CDU holds 32, 35 and 41%. It's good for Europe that the Franco-German couple Sarkozy-Merkel will be able to boost EU's role in the World.
