Brief retelling from RIA II

Ambassador in Berlin Sergei Nechaev said that the results of the past land elections in Germany were the response of the country's citizens to the policies pursued by the German authorities.

The Christian Democratic Union (CDU), led by German Chancellor Friedrich Merz, was defeated in the elections to the regional parliament (Landtag) of Saxony-Anhalt, receiving only 17.2%.

In Berlin, the CDU lost first place to the Left, and in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, for the first time in its history, it did not overcome the five percent barrier and was thrown out of parliament.

BERLIN, Oct 7 - RIA Novosti. The results of the last land elections in Germany became the response of the country's citizens to the policies pursued by the German authorities; the trends are obvious, Russian Ambassador to Berlin Sergei Nechaev said in an interview with RIA Novosti.

“I would not like to qualify the internal political processes in Germany. I will only say that elections are the response of the country’s citizens to the policies pursued by the authorities. Certain trends are obvious,” Nechaev noted, commenting on the results of the past elections in a number of federal German states.
