They emphasized the common will to place economic growth, secure jobs and social cohesion at the center of coalition work, while at the same time the aftermath of the elections in Saxony-Anhalt and Berlin as well as possible coalitions with the AfD and the Left were discussed.

Hendrik Wüst: Certainties are also dwindling in the West

In North Rhine-Westphalia, the CDU fears a historic setback before the 2027 state elections: According to a forsa survey, the AfD is ahead for the first time in a NRW survey with 24 percent compared to the CDU's 22 percent on the Bundestag question. The CDU-NRW itself achieved 29 percent in the state parliament question - three points less than in April. Party officials express nervousness and Rhenish fatalism as they rely on Prime Minister Hendrik Wüst's popularity and experience from previous election campaigns to beat the national trend.
