Young voters in Berlin overwhelmingly supported the socialist Left Party in an election won by the party, DW reports. The result has raised questions about the political direction of younger Berliners. One possibility presented in the report is that young voters are becoming more radical.
Another is that their voting pattern reflects current German politics rather than a broader generational shift. The supplied material does not provide polling figures, turnout data or a breakdown of the result by age group.
