REGIONAL HARBINGER? The rout raised questions about the chances of German Chancellor Angela Merkel’s party in the Sept. 26 election, which picks her successor
AFP, FRANKFURT, Germany
German Chancellor Angela Merkel’s party was in crisis mode on Monday after experiencing heavy losses in two regional polls, seen as a rebuke of its pandemic management six months before a general election.
Merkel’s center-right Christian Democratic Union (CDU) scored its worst-ever results in elections in the southwestern states of Baden-Wuerttemberg and Rhineland-Palatinate, estimates from public broadcasters showed.
Sunday’s rout raised questions about the conservatives’ chances in the Sept. 26 general election, when Germans are to choose a successor to outgoing leader Merkel.
