Sachsen-Anhalt: Ob AfD-Beben oder Zerreißprobe - für Merz wird es brenzlig
Kommt die AfD erstmals in einem Bundesland an die Macht oder nicht? Es ist ein knappes Rennen. Kanzler Merz stehen in beiden Fällen größere Schwierigkeiten bevor.
Two possible outcomes for the upcoming elections in Sachsen-Anhalt have been discussed, which could put pressure on CDU leader Friedrich Merz. The first scenario is an absolute majority for the AfD, which would be unprecedented and likely spark political turmoil beyond the region. If this happens, Merz may face blame from his own party and become a scapegoat.
The second scenario involves a CDU-led minority government relying on the support of the opposition parties, the SPD and Greens. In both scenarios, Merz's position is at risk, and the CDU may suffer significant losses, potentially falling below 20% in the CDU polls.
