Politico: AfD vrea să transforme victoria electorală din Saxonia-Anhalt în dărâmarea lui Merz. Cancelarul recunoaște: „Am această problemă”

The recent electoral victory of AfD in Saxony-Anhalt has plunged Chancellor Friedrich Merz into a significant crisis, revealing his low popularity and prompting internal party criticism. Merz acknowledges the need to connect better with voters, as AfD seeks to capitalize on this defeat by attracting CDU members. The election results have raised questions about Merz's leadership and the CDU's future, especially with upcoming regional elections that could further challenge the party's standing. AfD's aggressive tactics and the CDU's isolation strategy complicate the political landscape, leading to discussions about potential leadership changes within the CDU.
