After the AfD-Triumph in Saxony-Anhalt, Chancellor Merz says something that journalist Robin Alexander at Illner regards as historically unique.
The severe defeat of the CDU in Saxony-Anhalt triggers an aftershock in Wiesbaden. Its effects play a major role when it comes to whether Merz can remain in office.
The German media analyze the crisis of the CDU, the defeat in the elections and the politics of Friedrich Merz.
The German newspaper Die Welt stated that Chancellor Friedrich Merz's speech following the historic defeat in the state of Saxony-Anhalt damaged his Christian Democratic Union (CDU) party, writing that Merz had lost his oratorical skills and missed the opportunity for reform.
The Chancellor, in his speech, tried to claim that the AfD had "failed", as in Saxony-Anhalt, where the political party took first place, 56% of voters did not vote for it, but he failed to mention that 83% of voters rejected the CDU.
