As Germany approaches its federal election on February 23, 2025, recent polls reveal a competitive political landscape. The Union remains the strongest party, while the AfD and SPD are gaining traction, and the Greens are experiencing a decline.
The FDP, BSW, and Left parties are striving to surpass the five percent threshold to secure seats in the Bundestag. CDU leader Friedrich Merz currently leads in the chancellor race, followed closely by AfD candidate Alice Weidel and Chancellor Olaf Scholz.
However, dissatisfaction with the top candidates is prevalent among voters. Concerns arise about a potential blocking minority in the Bundestag, which could hinder key legislative decisions through unlikely alliances between extreme parties.
Scholz aims to retain his Bundestag seat even if he loses the chancellorship, emphasizing the importance of remaining in parliament. Meanwhile, the FDP seeks to revitalize its support through proposals for tax cuts and reduced bureaucracy, although the feasibility of these plans is debated.
