Alternative for Germany (AfD) has reached 28 percent in the latest poll, consolidating its position as the strongest political force in Germany. The Union (CDU/CSU) is recording one of its worst results in the past four years, with the AfD now ahead of it by five percentage points. Together with the Social Democratic Party (SPD) and the Greens, the established parties are registering significant losses of support compared to the results of the last Bundestag elections.

The Union leadership is firmly defending itself against accusations of even the slightest signs of moving closer to the AfD. Jens Spahn, a member of the Union parliamentary group, clearly declared his opposition to any cooperation with "this AfD," thereby turning the accusatory attack back on his critics. Annegret Kramp-Karrenbauer, former CDU chairwoman, expressed a similar view on the topic, warning of the risk that radical parties could end up setting the political agenda if cooperation with them were treated too lightly.

The government is attempting to respond to the growing experience with migration by tightening border controls. The interior minister is relying on this policy to reduce the number of illegal migrants, and the measure is showing some success. In eastern Germany, the Union and SPD parties are presenting these border measures as their priorities in the election campaign. Despite efforts to address current problems, the position of the traditional parties in the elections remains weakened. Welt ↗
