German Chancellor Angela Merkel, faced one of the biggest setback against migrant crisis on Sunday, when her party Christian Democratic Union (CDU) suffered drop in votes in three regional elections, while anti-immigration party ‘AfD’ gained access to these three parliaments, making their presence now in eight of 16 regional parliaments. Sunday’s result was best for any rightwing party since World War II.

According to latest projection, right wing AfD is set to win 24% of the vote in eastern region of Saxony-Anhalt, 15% in western Baden-Württemberg and 12% in Rhineland-Palatinate. Compared to that CDU vote shares are down 3.5% to 30% in Saxony-Anhalt, down 2.8% to 32% in Rhineland-Palatinate and down 11% to 27% in Baden-Württemberg.

While Mrs. Merkel last year opened German doors to 1 million refugees, over humanitarian ground earning her ‘Times person of the year’, AfD campaigned saying no more refugees, stop migrant chaos.

In recent times, Ms. Merkel has also suffered setback outside the country, when 9 states led by Austria, unilaterally imposed border controls, threatening Shenzhen passport free travel area. Her plan of greater involvement of Turkey has also been facing trouble, as many see the deal to be more generous towards Turkey. Even her close ally French president, Francois Hollande has criticized visa free travel arrangements with Turkey.

With Sunday’s result she will see her grips getting lose both abroad and within the country, especially within her own party as many remains worried that her party may not do well in next year’s Federal election.

So far Euro has shrugged off the election result, but it is not likely to bear well for Euro, if Mrs. Merkel loses her grip on power and next year’s election.
