zeit.de (German)

Following the CDU's election disaster in Saxony-Anhalt, deputy CDU state leader in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, Tino Schomann, has called for Chancellor Friedrich Merz to be replaced, blaming Berlin for the poor result. State party leader Daniel Peters backed Merz, arguing the coalition's problems stem from the SPD and that personnel debates are counterproductive. Schomann insists Merz lacks empathy and credibility, urging grassroots pressure for change. Polls show the CDU at just eight to ten percent ahead of the September 20 state election in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, its worst result ever, while the AfD leads with 35 percent.
