Exit poll: AfD câştigă al doilea scrutin regional din Germania. Partidul lui Merz, cel mai slab scor de după Al Doilea Război Mondial

The far-right AfD party in Germany has won its second consecutive regional election in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, but may be blocked from power by the SPD's strong second-place finish. Despite polls showing AfD at 37% and SPD at 35.5%, the latter is expected to form a coalition to prevent AfD from governing. This election is crucial for Chancellor Friedrich Merz, as his CDU party received only 5.5%, marking its worst performance since World War II. Merz acknowledged the disastrous results, highlighting the intense competition between SPD and AfD. In Berlin, Die Linke is leading with 24.5%, ahead of CDU's 20%.
