news.mail.ru (Russian)

Bavarian premier Markus Soeder said all of Germany, not just its ruling coalition, is in a state of crisis. He made the statement in a Bild interview regarding Chancellor Friedrich Merz's future. Soeder said the issue is Germany's crisis, not a coalition one, and refused to say if he would replace Merz. He noted the CDU's heavy defeat in Saxony-Anhalt, where the AfD won with 43.8% of votes. Merz acknowledged his CDU's loss and is losing popularity over his economic policies prioritizing military spending. Experts say Germany's plan to build an army independent of the US defense industry is doomed to fail.
