The ruling Christian Democratic Union (CDU) suffered crushing defeats in Sachsen-Anhalt and Mecklenburg-Vorpommern in Germany's three municipal and cantonal parliamentary elections held this month, demonstrating strong dissatisfaction with the Merz government. Meanwhile, the far-right opposition party Alternative for Germany (AfD) won a landslide victory, approaching a majority in Sachsen-Anhalt, making the future of the government difficult to predict. Although Chancellor Merz denies calls for his resignation, pressure from within his own party is mounting, and coordination with the ruling coalition party, the Social Democratic Party (SPD), is proving difficult. The AfD is stirring up internal conflict within the CDU and is making moves to overthrow the government.
