Merz's Struggle for Survival in a Post AfD Germany The recent Saxony Anhalt state election results have left German Chancellor Friedrich Merz facing his worst ever prospects.
The Alternative for Germany (AfD) has made significant gains, and public support for Merz's government has reached a record low.
During the European Arctic Summit in Rovaniemi, Finland, Merz downplayed domestic unrest, saying that Europe's future was more pressing than Germany's internal debates.
