State elections: CDU politicians in MV fear failing to meet the five percent hurdle
A new state parliament will be elected in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern on September 20. In polls, the CDU is at seven percent - and is approaching the five percent hurdle.
CDU officials in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern are expressing concerns about the party's chances of entering the state parliament ahead of the September 20 landtagswahl. Marc Reinhardt and Eckhardt Rehberg warned of the risk of the CDU falling below the 5% threshold, citing recent polls showing the party at 7%. CDU leader Daniel Peters described the party's situation as "serious" and an "existence struggle". The party's weakness is attributed to polarisation in the campaign and criticism of the federal government.
