Berlin, Sep 26 (EFE).- The ultrarightist Alternative for Germany (AfD), a party excluded as a potential coalition partner by the rest of the parliamentary spectrum, has obtained 10.9 percent of the votes, according to early tallies from exit polls, 1.7 percent below what it achieved in the 2017 election.Although the AfD appears to have lost ground in this election compared with its performance four years ago, representatives of the party said they were satisfied with what they had achieved at the polls."It was said that four years later we would be out of parliament and once again we're above 10 percent. It's a success," said the co-president of the group, Alice Weidel. (Camera: MARTIN DIVISEK).

In a sign of Biden's legitimacy, leaders of major democracies have stepped up to congratulate the President-elect Joe Biden in recent days. Doubtless salt to his wound, Trump's favorite network--Fox News--and media outlets across the board have also declared Biden the projected winner of the election. Business Insider reports that as a whole, EU leaders and even Israel and Turkey have congratulated Biden. Only Russia's Vladimir Putin, China's Xi Xing Ping, Mexican President Andrés Manuel López Obrador, and Brazil's Jair Bolsonaro have yet to join in.
