Sachsen-Anhalt: „Wir stehen an der Schwelle einer gigantischen deutschen Krise“ – So kommentiert die Weltpresse das Ergebnis
Weltweit sorgt die Landtagswahl in Sachsen-Anhalt für Reaktionen. Die internationale Presse kritisiert die Schwäche der CDU und sieht das Versprechen des „Nie wieder“ in Gefahr.
Düsseldorf. The AfD's victory in the elections of the German state of Sachsen-Anhalt has sent shockwaves beyond Germany's borders, capturing the attention of the international press. The strong performance of the AfD and the devastating defeat suffered by the CDU have been the focus of numerous headlines worldwide.
The "Neuen Zürcher Zeitung" commented on the dramatic turn of events, stating that the worst nightmare of the CDU has become a reality. They reported that the party had split its vote, achieving its worst-ever result in the state and losing the election to the AfD, which came in second. The thought of former CSU leader Franz-Josef Strauss, who once declared that no democratically legitimized party could stand alongside the Union in this region, would be utterly dismayed.
This election was seen as a vote of no confidence in the entire party, not just the state branch in Sachsen-Anhalt. Surveys indicate that 86% of those who switched their allegiance expressed disappointment with Chancellor Friedrich Merz, accusing him of promising too much and delivering too little.
