The statement comes after AfD claimed its second regional election win in as many weeks, ramping up pressure on the poorly performing CDU and Chancellor Friedrich Merz. The far-left party also advanced, winning its third regional election thanks to its latest victory in Berlin.
Perspective spoke to Hans Stark, Advisor, Study Committee on French-German Relations (Cerfa), Ifri, Professor in Contemporary German Civilization at Sorbonne University, who said that Merz is now in a very fragile situation, but that there is no obvious candidate to take over from him.
