| Video Discription | (9 Jun 2024) RESTRICTION SUMMARY: ASSOCIATED PRESS Berlin, Germany - 9 June 2024 1. Alternative for Germany (AfD) party members cheering after seeing EU elections exit polls 2. SOUNDBITE (German) Alice Weidel, AfD party leader: "We had a bumpy start and then really caught up in the final spurt. After all the prophecies of doom, after the barrage of the last few weeks, we are the second strongest force. And I'm telling you, it's still going up tonight. It's still going up." 3. AfD leaders on stage 4. People waving German flags 5. Man waving German flag STORYLINE: Germany's governing parties were heading for very weak results and the far-right Alternative for Germany made gains in Sunday's vote for the European Parliament, while the mainstream conservative opposition was set to remain the country's strongest political force in the legislature, projections showed. Projections for ARD and ZDF public television, based on exit polls and partial counting, showed support for Chancellor Olaf Scholz's center-left Social Democrats at 14%, below the 15.8% they managed in 2019 — already their worst post-World War II result in a nationwide vote — and far short of their showing in Germany's last national election in 2021. Alternative for Germany, or AfD, was seen winning just over 16% of the vote. That’s better than its showing of 11% in 2019 but still some way short of its poll ratings at the beginning of the year. The party has seen a string of setbacks since then, including scandals surrounding its two lead candidates for the European Parliament. The polls showed the environmentalist Greens, the second-biggest party in Scholz's coalition, falling from a very successful 20.5% five years ago to around 12%. Support for the pro-business Free Democrats, the third party in the quarrelsome and unpopular government, was estimated at 5%. The exit polls gave a clear lead to the center-right Union bloc, now the main opposition force, putting its support at around 30%. That's underwhelming by historical standards but in line with its 2019 result and better than its showing in the last national election. European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen is a member of the Christian Democratic Union, the dominant party in the two-party bloc, and said she was impressed by its showing. =========================================================== Clients are reminded to adhere to all listed restrictions and to check the terms of their licence agreements.
