The AfD man who covets the social democratic stronghold of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania
World1 source1 country🔦 Under-reported23m ago
Friedrich Merz, leader of the Christian Democratic Union (CDU), is facing mounting political pressure following a heavy defeat suffered by his party against the far-right in the regional elections of Saxony-Anhalt. The setback has weakened his position both at the ballot box and in national opinion polls.
Simultaneously, far-right candidate Leif-Erik Holm of the Alternative for Germany (AfD) is seeking to capture the social-democratic stronghold of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania in upcoming Sunday elections. Holm's campaign in the northeastern state has received significant momentum following the AfD's recent electoral breakthrough.
