Elections Scheduled in 2024 in Germany?

 The Berlin repeat of the 2021 federal election is in the late part of Feb.

The EU election?  Schedule for 9 June.

The Sachsen state election is scheduled for 1 Sep.

The Brandenburg state election is schedule for 22 Sep.

The Thüringen state election is scheduled for mid-October. 

What to expect?  

Usually, EU elections have no central theme and limited enthusiasm.  For this year, I'd expect a fair amount of talk and some public frustration over the direction that the EU is heading.

In the case of the three eastern Germany states?  If you read polling efforts....the right-wing AfD Party figures to have in the 25-to-30 percent range, and create problems for the formation of a coalition gov't.

The chatter of a collapse of the federal coalition, and create a path to a new federal unplanned election?  It's openly discussed but so far....the coalition has not fallen apart.
