El canciller alemán Merz promete mantenerse en el cargo tras históricas derrotas del CDU en las elecciones regionales

Según la BBC, la aprobación del canciller Friedrich Merz disminuyó mientras el CDU obtuvo malos resultados en las recientes elecciones regionales y la extrema derecha Alternativa para Alemania (AfD) siguió ganando apoyo. Las primeras encuestas de salida indicaron que la AfD lideraba con alrededor del 38 % de los votos en Mecklemburgo-Pomerania Occidental y que el CDU cayó a cerca del 5 %, sin superar el umbral del 5 % y perdiendo representación tanto en esa región como en Berlín.

Merz respondió comprometiéndose a permanecer en el cargo y a impulsar su agenda de reformas fiscales y de bienestar, posición que reiteró tras los resultados. Antes de las votaciones, ocho ministros presidentes del CDU de los estados emitieron una declaración conjunta respaldando al canciller y pidiendo un gobierno federal estable.
