TOP5 4726 Allemagne deux elections regionales sous haute tension pour Friedrich Merz

Voters in Berlin and Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania are heading to the polls this Sunday for closely watched regional elections. For Chancellor Friedrich Merz and the CDU, these elections come after the strong showing of the AfD in Saxony-Anhalt, where the far-right party won a decisive victory on September 6. The outcome of both elections will be scrutinized in Berlin as an indicator of the state of the governing coalition and the conservatives' ability to contain the AfD's rise.
