2010 East German general election (1990: Two Germanies)

Legislative elections were held in the German Democratic Republic (AKA East Germany) on the 5th of April 2010, after the President disbanded the Volkskammer after one and a half year of unresolving bills to tackle the 2008 Financial Crisis. With the sinking of popularity towards the Grand Coalition, the CDU also wanted a new foundation to form a centre-right government. The SPD lost a lot of support when they agreed for the CDU's austerity plan to combat the financial crisis. Many in the party wanted to restimulate the economy, and they looked towards the socialist PDS and green B90. Angela Merkel and the CDU managed to set up a new centre-right coalition with the right-wing DSU and NDPD, and with the centrist BFD and OL.
