German elections

The SPD leadership previously refused to entertain the possibility of governing with the conservatives again

They were urged to censor not just fake news, but anything critical of the liberal government, anti-refugee news & criticism of the EU from right-wing outlets

Merkel’s CDU/CSU is on 32%, Social Democrats on 20% & Right-wing AfD on 13%

Merkel will be Chancellor once again & right-wing AfD is expected to have around 50 seats
