Infact verdict: Mostly True (70/100).
The claims about political polarization in Germany are supported by varying degrees of evidence. The claim that 65% of the political divide is due to emotional rejection lacks strong corroboration from authoritative sources, resulting in a low fact score. The assertion that the pandemic, Ukraine invasion, and coalition collapse intensified political conflict is well-supported by multiple sources, leading to a higher score. The divergence between CDU and Greens is confirmed by evidence of policy differences, while the claim about Greens and Left agreement is supported by their shared positions on many issues. The claim about polarization within the political center is supported by evidence of internal conflicts and protests.
