Parties: Whistles for Merz at election campaign appearance in Kühlungsborn
Federal Chancellor Friedrich Merz is getting involved in the eastern German state election campaigns for his CDU. He will not only be received friendly at the Baltic Sea.
German Chancellor Friedrich Merz was heckled and jeered during a campaign visit to Kühlungsborn in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, with some people calling him a warmonger, Pinocchio, and demanding his resignation. However, others in the crowd defended him, appealing for decency. Merz did not give a planned press statement, instead speaking to supporters over a barrier and eating a fish sandwich at a local restaurant, where he discussed issues facing coastal fishermen in the region with the owner's son.
Merz is also set to visit Saxony-Anhalt ahead of next Sunday's state election. The Mecklenburg-Vorpommern state election is due to take place in three weeks' time.
