Alegerile din Germania, test pentru viitorul politic al cancelarului Friedrich Merz. AfD țintește noi victorii

German Chancellor Friedrich Merz faces a political test in upcoming regional elections in Berlin and Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania, following a significant defeat in Saxony-Anhalt. The elections reflect widespread public dissatisfaction with his coalition government, raising speculation about his future. Recent polls indicate a close race, with the Social Democrats (SPD) overtaking the far-right AfD in Mecklenburg, while CDU struggles to maintain relevance. Merz has attempted to quell rumors about his leadership, emphasizing his commitment to stay. The rise of AfD poses a challenge for both Merz and SPD's Manuela Schwesig, who aims to prevent further gains for the far-right. The outcome could impact national politics and Merz's position as Chancellor.
