The Chancellor admitted his own responsibility for the CDU's electoral failure. He also pointed to his low popularity and criticism of the slow implementation of government reforms. At the same time, he rejected stepping down and declared that the federal government will maintain its reform course, but will have to explain it more convincingly to citizens. hnonline.sk ↗
Merz emphasized that German institutions are stable and capable of defending the constitutional order. He expressed concerns about the future of the CDU and the Social Democratic Party of Germany, which according to him face serious threats. Within the CDU following the election result, internal party pressure on leadership is growing, with consequences to be drawn by the party's regional organization in Saxony-Anhalt as well. SITA ↗
Premier of North Rhine-Westphalia Hendrik Wüst warned of the possibility of an AfD government in Saxony-Anhalt.
