This article from BBC news discusses how German Chancellor Angela Merkel won her fourth consecutive term in office today, however her party, while still the majority, did not get as much of the vote as anticipated. German nationalist group AfD, a group who's policies include anti-islam and anti-immigration views, is now the third largest party in Germany with 13.1 percent of the vote. This is the worst election results for Merkel's party in seventy years and shows the pushback against refugees and immigration that is currently going on in Germany. Many protested outside the AfD headquarters however as their is a great deal of opposition to the AfD.
