Friedrich Merz, sub presiune după eșecul electoral. Premierul Bavariei îi ia apărarea, dar avertizează că guvernul Germaniei trebuie să accelereze reformele

After CDU's electoral defeat in Saxony-Anhalt, CSU leader Markus Söder dismissed speculation about replacing Chancellor Friedrich Merz. He emphasized that any successor would face similar challenges, particularly with the SPD's reform support. The recent elections saw AfD winning significantly, while CDU lagged behind. Upcoming elections in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania and Berlin could impact Merz's political future. Söder affirmed Merz's commitment to reforms and stated that the conservative bloc must remain united against AfD. He expressed hope for the current coalition to last until 2029 but acknowledged the need for improved government performance and communication.
