AfD threatens fresh blow to Merz: Two German states hold key vote
- Two German states are heading to the polls today – in Berlin and the state of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania.
- The far-right AfD party is expected to make further gains after securing a historic win in Saxony-Anhalt two weeks ago, though it has no realistic path to power in Berlin.
- Sunday's vote is a key test for Chancellor Friedrich Merz, one that could determine whether he can hold on to power.
