German state elections deepen pressure on Chancellor Friedrich Merz
38%Ⲡfrom 37
The Alternative for Germany was polling at 36% in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania.
State-election losses weakened Merzâs CDU as the AfD advanced in Saxony-Anhalt and the Left Party won in Berlin. Merz denounced extremism after an AfD lawmaker became Saxony-Anhaltâs parliament president and said he intended to help combat it.
