The German far-right party, the Alternative for Germany, or AfD, has won the state election in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania. This is the second state the AfD has won this month after Saxony-Anhalt. Firstpost explains how the recent AfD victories, combined with Die Linke winning in Berlin, has put additional pressure on German chancellor Friedrich Merz and his Christian Democratic Union party. Hem Kaur Saroya examines the reasons for the rise of the AfD and the fall of the CDU. HKS also looks at the Merz’s situation, and whether he can keep his job after the massive political defeats.
