For Merz, there is a wedge everywhere: A miserable 5% and the second in Berlin is a senator

German Chancellor Friedrich Merz found himself in a peak position. This was stated by Senator Alexei Pushkov.

So he commented on the first results of exit polls in the elections in Mecklenburg— Vorpommern and in Berlin.

If the forecasts based on exit polls are confirmed, then the "Alternative for Germany" (AfD) party takes the first place, the senator writes in his telegram channel. She gets 38% - less than in Saxony-Anhalt (44.5%), but " it is quite convincing that the AfD could celebrate the victory".

" The pitiful 5% that Chancellor Merz's CDU party barely scraped together to get into the local parliament... means Merz's failure for the second time in a row… The elections in Berlin, the capital of the country, with its two and a half million voters, can also confirm a sharp drop in support for the chancellor's party: according to forecasts, the CDU will have only the second place and about 20% of the vote, and the opposition represented by the Left Party with 26% of the vote may come out on top. In a word, for Merz, wherever you throw it, there is a wedge everywhere", — sums up Pushkov.

As reported by EADaily, Chancellor Friedrich Merz's CDU party receives only 5.5% in the ongoing parliamentary elections in Mecklenburg—Vorpommern. This is evidenced by the first data of exit polls.

The first preliminary results of the elections to the landtags in Berlin and Mecklenburg—Vorpommern have appeared. They were shown on the social network X by the co-chair of the "Alternative for Germany" party Alice Weidel.
