Cu un AfD aflat pe primul loc în sondaje în Germania, cancelarul Merz e împins să intre într-o alianță chiar de cei din partidul său: discuții aprinse înainte de alegeri

The CDU faces internal debate over potential cooperation with the far-right AfD party, which leads in polls. Michael Kretschmer advocates for discussions with all parties, contradicting CDU leader Friedrich Merz's firm stance against collaboration due to Germany's historical responsibilities. Merz emphasizes the need to create a political climate to defeat the far-right. AfD's rising popularity, especially in eastern Germany, raises concerns for CDU, which may have to choose between maintaining its anti-AfD position or collaborating with the Left Party. The situation remains tense as elections approach.
