Exit polls from Germany indicate significant shifts in state-level elections. A far-left party has reportedly won the Berlin election, with pledges to nationalize housing.
Concurrently, a far-right party has shown gains in votes in Germany's northeastern region. These results have reportedly shaken German political figure Merz, reflecting a broader trend of radical left and far-right advancements in state contests.
The Berlin outcome is being viewed as a test for left-wing populism, with some outlets describing the winning party as "anti-capitalist." This is a developing story and will be updated as details emerge.
