While Donald Trump is in power in the US, hardliner Vladimir Putin is the President of Russia. Italy's PM Georgia Meloni is also a conservative leader. Meanwhile, there has been a major reversal in Germany and now conservative leader Friedrich Mertz will take over the government. The opposition coalition led by him has won in a close contest. With this, German Chancellor Olaf Scholz has accepted defeat. The most shocking figure in this entire result is that the extreme right-wing party Alternative for Germany has got a large number of seats. Its vote percentage has also doubled to 20.5 percent, which was only 10.3 percent in 2021. This is the first time since the Second World War that Alternative for Germany has got such a huge public support.
