The German Chancellor’s Party Is Preparing for His Replacement

▪️An increasing number of politicians from the Christian Democratic Union (CDU) are discussing replacing German Chancellor Friedrich Merz after just over a year in office, according to the publication Politico

▪️The reason is Merz’s record-low approval ratings due to the failure of a number of his initiatives—ranging from the economy to foreign policy

▪️This is particularly dangerous for the current coalition amid the rising popularity of the opposition party “Alternative for Germany” (AfD) ahead of the regional elections in September. An AfD victory could drastically alter the political balance of power

▪️If Merz is ousted, it would seriously undermine Germany’s consensus-based political system. It has been less than two years since the previous coalition collapsed. Furthermore, such a move could lead to early elections, Politico emphasizes
