The political Berlin is on summer holidays, but federal politics is driving people around. Most of them feel abandoned by the parties - by all parties. In the RTL/ntv trend barometer, the AfD defends its seven-point lead on the Union, whose chancellor is highly unpopular.
A few weeks ago they were just isolated criticisms of some members of the party, who fear that ultra-right AfD will consolidate in places and gain power after the upcoming elections.There is even an alternative name for the 50-year-old president of the North Rhine-Westphalia region Merz, Hendrik Wüst.
How much support does Chancellor Merz have in his own party and faction? His acting as a lonely decision-maker increasingly alienates large parts of his own camp. However, he has some surprising supporters.
Merz has a historical failure rate in Germany. Chancellor renewed government, but generated controversy in the Ministry of Health. CDU sectors ask for new leader and wait for results in the regional elections.
After barely a year, his party may back down from behind the chancellor: according to press reports, the CDU no longer trusts Merz and would be replaced in September. What was the final straw and who could be his successor?
The German Chancellor, Friedrich Merz, is in great difficulty on the domestic political scene, to the point that he could be forced to resign if his party loses the local elections next month.
