I can't even think how to comment on this! So, some of the people voted for the AfD which leans to the right, some of the others voted for the CDU which leans in the middle but facing right and others voted for Left parties which lean, obviously, to the left. Only the AfD got more votes than the others but not a majority so everyone needed to find partners in order to govern. But absolutely every other party thinks the AfD is Literally Hitler so they won't partner with them. So they have to partner with former communists and Stasi officers who, you could argue, are so far left as to almost meet Literally HItler round the other side! And the dumb thing seems to be that the AfD don't actually seem particularly right-wing, fascist, totalitarian, nazi, mad, dangerous, ideological. They seem pretty old fashioned conservative. Or have I misunderstood the complicated German system?

Whoever named it 'blackberry coalition' lacked imagination. It should be called 'gangrene coalition' instead.
