AfD leader demands early elections to replace Merz "before Christmas"

Correio da Manhã7 September 2026 at 00:47

The leader of the far-right party Alternative for Germany (AfD) demanded the holding of early legislative elections to replace Chancellor Friedrich Merz before Christmas. The demand comes following a significant electoral victory by the party.

The AfD won this Sunday's regional elections in the federal state of Saxony-Anhalt, in eastern Germany. This result represents yet another advance by the far-right party in the German political landscape.

Friedrich Merz, current Chancellor of Germany, is the direct target of the AfD leadership's demands for early elections. The party intends to pressure for the scheduling of federal elections within a short timeframe.
