Germany’s CDU, the party of Chancellor Angela Merkel, has suffered historic losses in Berlin state elections. It has been ousted from the state governing coalition with the centre-left Social Democrats. Meanwhile right-wing anti-migrant party Alternative for Germany (AfD) will enter the state parliament for the first time with 14% of the vote. Mrs Merkel’s popularity has waned since her decision last year to allow more than a million Muslim migrants into Germany.
