Politico: subiectul fierbinte al verii în Germania - schimbarea cancelarului. Cine ar putea fi succesorul lui Merz

Speculations arise regarding German Chancellor Friedrich Merz's position amid internal party pressures and upcoming regional elections. Discussions about a potential leadership change, or Kanzlertausch, are increasing within the CDU as the far-right AfD gains popularity. Critics question Merz's ability to unify the party and respond to the AfD's rise, which could disrupt Germany's political stability. Calls for restraint are emerging across the political spectrum, with some suggesting Merz should voluntarily step down to avoid further turmoil. Current polls show AfD leading, while Merz's approval ratings are at a historic low.
