State election: Merz: Saxony-Anhalt must not become a testing ground for "angry citizens"
One week before the state elections in Saxony-Anhalt, Friedrich Merz warns of an AfD government and its economic consequences. But the Chancellor is showing optimism.
German Chancellor Friedrich Merz has warned that a possible AfD government in Saxony-Anhalt would have severe consequences for the state's economic development. During a campaign visit to Quedlinburg with CDU candidate Sven Schulze, Merz stated that Saxony-Anhalt must not become an "experimental field for angry citizens". He expressed concerns that international investors would be deterred from investing in the state if the AfD were to gain an absolute majority.
Merz remains optimistic that the CDU can still achieve a good result in the upcoming election on Sunday.
