There were elections yesterday in Germany in the states of Hesse and Bavaria.
Approximately 14 million people were eligible to vote.
The CDU in Hesse and its sister party, the CSU in Bavaria, will continue to be the the governing parties in the new parliaments.
Frankfurt-am-Main, which is the economic centre of Germany and where the EU Central Bank is, is in the state of Hesse.
Wiesbaden is the capital of Hesse and Munich the capital of Bavaria.
The three parties that make up the Federal Government in Berlin, the Social Democrats, Greens and Free Democrats, took a hammering.
The far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) came in second in both elections.
A worrying trend in the economic powerhouse of Europe.
