Reacția „dramatică” a cancelarului Merz în spatele ușilor închise, după înfrângerea în fața AfD, scursă în presa germană

Friedrich Merz expressed deep concern after the AfD's significant victory in Saxony-Anhalt elections, indicating a profound crisis for CDU. He acknowledged the party's failure to connect emotionally with voters and emphasized the need for unity against the AfD, which he views as a threat to CDU's existence. The election results are seen as a critical test for Merz's leadership, with rising pressure on him and the coalition government. The CDU's declining popularity and potential future losses in upcoming regional elections raise fears of a cascading effect on the party's fortunes. Discussions about Merz's possible resignation have emerged amid growing dissent within CDU.
