AfD leads SPD in Brandenburg state election

According to a recent survey, the far-right AfD party is ahead of the ruling SPD in the upcoming state election in Brandenburg. The survey shows the AfD at 27%, while the SPD is at 23%.

The CDU is in third place with a slight decrease in support. The BSW and the Greens have also experienced a slight decrease in support.

The survey indicates that the migration issue is the most important political topic for voters in Brandenburg. The AfD's success in Thuringia has influenced their strategy for the upcoming election.

The BSW, which has been in talks with CDU-led governments, could also potentially play a role in the government if the other parties refuse to work with the AfD. The SPD is considering the possibility of being the opposition party if they do not come in first place.

The potential for a BSW government participation is split among voters. The survey also highlights the importance of the Grundmandatsklausel, which allows parties to enter the state parliament based on the percentage of direct mandates won.

Overall, the election outcome remains uncertain.

Disgruntled German voters want change

Chancellor Olaf Scholz's center-left government is facing declining support, with the Christian Democratic Union (CDU) and Christian Social Union (CSU) opposition calling for tighter migration and security policies. Voters are concerned about immigration, crime, and the economy, favoring the CDU/CSU over the ruling coalition. The far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) and the Sahra Wagenknecht Alliance (BSW) are gaining ground, posing challenges. The CDU/CSU is considering potential chancellor candidates, including Armin Laschet, Markus Söder, Friedrich Merz, and Hendrik Wüst, as they aim to regain power. The CDU's regional negotiations in Saxony and Thuringia will impact Merz's chances, who is the long-time rival of former Chancellor Angela Merkel.

Union demands rejection of refugees at borders

The Union continues to insist on directly rejecting refugees at the German borders, citing a need for a significant reduction in migration to Germany. The CDU/CSU parliamentary manager, Thorsten Frei, defended the ultimatum issued by CDU leader Friedrich Merz, stating that there are substantial challenges in migration and security in the country. Frei argued that unilateral rejections at the borders would not endanger European cooperation, but rather lead to better European regulations. He emphasized that the current Dublin rules, which require refugees to be registered and have their asylum process in the first country of entry, are not being followed by many European states. The Union's demand for a change in migration policy aims to undermine radicalism and reject any potential collaboration with the far-right AfD party.
