In Germany, the far right AfD is celebrating their first major breakthrough in the country's west. The AFD nearly tripled their share with almost 15% in municipal elections in Germany's most populous state, North Rhine Westphalia. It's the AfD's largest ever win in Germany's west. The party has made historic gains in recent years, becoming the second-strongest political force at the national level. Chancellor Merz's Christian Democrats won the municipal and local elections with a third of the vote. These elections are seen as a first test for the government.
