Мерц не исключил победу АдГ на выборах в двух федеральных землях Германии

Friedrich Merz, the leader of Germany's CDU party, has acknowledged the possibility of the far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) winning in two eastern German states. Merz stated that while he does not wish for this outcome, it is a realistic scenario given current polling. He emphasized the need for the CDU to present a strong alternative to the AfD, particularly in states where the CDU is the leading opposition party. The comments come ahead of upcoming elections in Saxony and Thuringia.

This statement highlights a significant political challenge for Germany's mainstream parties as they confront the rising influence of the AfD in eastern regions.
