Landtagswahl: AfD und SPD liegen in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern etwa gleichauf
Laut dem ZDF-Politbarometer liefern sich die AfD und die SPD in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern ein Kopf-an-Kopf-Rennen. AfD-Spitzenkandidat Leif-Erik Holm kritisiert die rot-rote Landesregierung, aber auch die Politik in Berlin.
As the Mecklenburg-Vorpommern state election approaches, economic concerns grow over a potential victory for the AfD party. Recent polls show the party leading with 36-38 percent support. Business associations warn of consequences for investments, skilled workers, and jobs. "Party goals that endanger Mecklenburg-Vorpommern's openness to the world, its economic development and societal cohesion are poison for our state and endanger jobs and quality of life," said Sven Müller, deputy CEO of the Association of Business Associations in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern.
While the state saw the highest economic growth in 2025 at 1.4 percent, alongside Bremen, its economic performance is still the smallest among eastern German state regions. The economy in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern is dominated by services and tourism, with a narrow industrial base. The demographic shift exacerbates the workforce shortage. The following graphics illustrate the state's economic situation ahead of the election.
