They’re shown in the colors chosen by Die Tageszeitung, the 7th largest German newspaper.
The TAZ isn’t fake news, they’re well-researched and follow the press codex for fair and truthful journalism.
They’re just not centrist “all sides are equal” news either.
The issue is you posting this image without sufficient context. The TAZ using it is perfectly fine and definitely not fake news. The issue only starts when you remove context and try to show that more than half of the seats are virtually brown when the party colors just don’t look up.
It used to be like that in West Germany from 1949 till 1990. The good old days.
Only the CDU (black), SPD (red) and FDP (yellow) ever made it into parlament.
But then those pesky Green punks appeared and ruined everything!
They even wore sneakers in the Reichstag, can you imagine?

You’re not wrong.

Somewhat fake news as the partys aren’t shown in their chosen color, but in the color that is associated with their behavior.

If only the SPD got more votes it’d be your national flag
