CDU in Vorpommern fears election defeat as support drops to seven percent

welt.de (German)

The CDU in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern fears failing to re-enter the state parliament, polling at just seven percent ahead of the September 20 election, down from 13.3 percent in 2021. Deputy parliamentary leader Marc Reinhardt and former MP Eckhardt Rehberg blame Minister-President Manuela Schwesig's "polarizing" and "populist" campaign, which they say strengthens the AfD and draws voters away, while the federal government offers no support. Rehberg also criticizes Schwesig for copying Brandenburg's Dietmar Woidke strategy, and urges the CDU to postpone any leadership debates until after the election.
