BIG | 🇩🇪🇪🇺‼️‼️ German Chancellor Friedrich Merz has acknowledged that Germany is undergoing a profound political realignment after the far right’s historic electoral breakthrough, admitting that the federal government has failed to build a strong emotional connection with a growing part of the electorate.

Merz said Germany has a strong constitution and all the necessary instruments to defend its democratic order even against a far-right state government, but warned that the country is experiencing “tectonic shifts” across its party system. He acknowledged that neither he nor his government can simply continue operating as usual and conceded that they have not succeeded in connecting with voters on an emotional level.

The warning comes after the AfD’s extraordinary breakthrough in Saxony-Anhalt and exposes a much deeper challenge for Berlin than a single regional defeat. Germany remains one of the central pillars of European support for Ukraine and NATO deterrence, while the AfD favors a dramatically different approach toward Russia and Kyiv. Merz now faces the difficult task of addressing domestic frustration without weakening Germany’s strategic commitments at a moment when Russian military and hybrid pressure on Europe is intensifying.
