Europa e cu ochii pe alegerile din Germania: AfD ar putea să dea o nouă lovitură electorală, iar CDU își riscă poziția dominantă

Germans are voting for two regional parliaments, with the elections seen as a crucial test for Chancellor Friedrich Merz's government. Following a significant defeat in Saxony-Anhalt, where the AfD party gained nearly 44% of the votes, the CDU faces pressure in the upcoming elections in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania. Polls indicate AfD leading with 37%, while CDU struggles at around 7%. The elections are also a barometer for public dissatisfaction with the coalition government, particularly regarding economic issues and rising living costs. The outcome could impact Merz's position as Chancellor, with speculation about potential successors if the CDU performs poorly.
