Ziua care îi poate decide soarta cancelarului Merz. Germania votează din nou, iar AfD și stânga radicală amenință CDU cu o nouă lovitură

Germany is facing significant regional elections on September 20, with voters in Berlin and Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania choosing their parliaments. The results are crucial for Chancellor Friedrich Merz, who is under pressure due to the rise of the AfD and poor CDU performance in previous elections. Only 6% of the German population resides in these regions, but the elections serve as a critical test for Merz's leadership and the CDU's future. Polls indicate AfD's strong position, particularly in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania, where it could double its support. In Berlin, housing issues dominate the political landscape, with rising rents affecting many residents. Merz's approval ratings have plummeted, raising speculation about his future as Chancellor amid growing support for AfD nationally.
