What if Germany fails? Election results in Upper Saxony will say a lot about Merz's future

CNN Portugal5 September 2026 at 18:00

The article addresses the elections in Upper Saxony as a decisive moment for Friedrich Merz's political future, leader of the CDU. The text presents an essay that explores the challenges Merz faces in the German political landscape.

The main dilemma identified is the attempt to recover voters from AfD without ending up politically in that party's hands. This issue can determine not only the course of Merz's career but also the future of German politics.

The article suggests that the electoral results in Upper Saxony will be important indicators about the viability of Merz's strategy and the CDU's ability to effectively compete with the radical right.
