AfD câștigă alegerile în Mecklenburg-Pomerania Inferioară cu aproape 38%, dar rămâne izolată politic. Die Linke se impune la Berlin cu 25,5%. Merz admite un „dezastru electoral” pentru CDU

Recent elections in Germany indicate a significant defeat for the CDU party, led by Chancellor Friedrich Merz. The far-right AfD secured nearly 38% in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania, while the left-wing Die Linke won over 25% in Berlin. The CDU faced its worst result in history, garnering only 4.9%. Despite this, Merz remains in his position, acknowledging the electoral disaster. The AfD's rise has raised concerns about Germany's image internationally, with warnings from the Auschwitz International Committee about the implications of far-right governance. Meanwhile, Die Linke is positioned to lead the Berlin government, needing coalition partners to form a majority.
