Германы “Германы төлөөх альтернатив” (AfD) нам Мекленбург-Өрнөд Померани мужийн сонгуульд түүхэн ялалт байгуулсны дараа тус намыг улс орны шинэ “ардын нам” хэмээн удирдлагууд нь мэдэгдлээ.
Мекленбург-Өрнөд Померани мужийн орон нутгийн сонгуульд AfD нам 38.2 хувийн санал авч ялалт байгуулсан бол канцлер Фридрих Мерзийн тэргүүлдэг Христийн ардчилсан холбоо (CDU) нам ердөө 4.9 хувийн санал авч, 1949 оноос хойш анх удаа мужийн парламентад суудалгүй үлдэв. АфД намын хамтран дарга Алис Вайдель энэхүү үр дүнг CDU-гийн консерватив нэртэй боловч зүүний бодлого баримталдаг алдаатай бодлогын үр дагавар гэж тодорхойлжээ.
АфД-ын хамтран дарга Тино Хрупалла тус намын амжилтыг “цэнхэр давалгаа” хэмээн нэрлэж, CDU намтай хамтран ажиллахаас татгалзаж буй “гал хамгаалагч” буюу бусад намтай эвсэх бодлого нь тэднийг уналтад хүргэсэн гэж үзэж байна. Тэрээр Германы ард түмэн зөвхөн албан тушаалтнуудыг солих бус, улс төрийн тогтолцооны бүрэн шинэчлэлийг хүсэж байгааг онцолжээ.
Хэдийгээр канцлер Мерз намынхаа сонгуулийн үр дүнг “гамшиг” хэмээн хүлээн зөвшөөрсөн ч албан тушаалаасаа огцрохоос татгалзсан хэвээр байна. Үүнээс өмнө Берлин болон Саксони-Анхальт мужуудад болсон сонгуулиудад ч CDU нам сул үзүүлэлттэй гарч, АфД нам өөрийн байр суурийг мэдэгдэхүйц бэхжүүлээд байгаа юм.

Alice Weidel has said her party has replaced Chancellor Merz’s CDU in this role after its historic defeat in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania
The right-wing Alternative for Germany (AfD) has replaced Chancellor Friedrich Merz’s Christian Democratic Union (CDU) as the ‘people’s party’ in Germany, AfD co-leader Alice Weidel has said. Her comment came after the CDU suffered a crushing defeat in Sunday’s regional election in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania, failing to even clear the 5% threshold.
Speaking on Monday, Weidel attributed the CDU’s historic drubbing to its supposed tendency to implement left-wing policies while professing to be a conservative party. Commenting on the Christian Democrats’ poor showing in Berlin, where the Left Party came out on top with a projected 25.7% of the vote, the AfD co-leader said that this was the direct result of the CDU’s “particularly ‘intelligent’ firewall policy.” The term refers to the party’s refusal to cooperate with the AfD under any circumstances, a policy that has led to the formation of unwieldy coalitions between the Christian Democrats and left-leaning parties.
“The CDU will never again win a federal election,” Weidel predicted.
The other AfD co-chair, Tino Chrupalla, similarly characterized the CDU as a “pseudo-conservative” party.
“We have pulverized the CDU,” he said, commenting on the AfD’s triumph in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania on Sunday, where the right-wing party finished first with 38.2% of the vote, according to preliminary results.
“The blue wave is unstoppable,” Chrupalla said, referring to his party’s colors. The AfD co-leader also predicted that his party would replicate its recent electoral successes in further regional votes.
Germans are “hoping for a political turnaround in this country, not merely a change of personnel,” he argued, adding that the resignation of Chancellor Merz was “long overdue.”
In Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania, the AfD managed to garner 21.5 percentage points more than in the previous election in 2021. Chrupalla described the result as proof that the AfD “clearly have the mandate to govern here.”
With just 4.9% of the vote, Merz’s CDU, by contrast, failed to even make it into the state parliament – for the first time since 1949.
While the chancellor did acknowledge that his party’s showing was a “disaster,” he stood by his course and refused to step down.
Although the Christian Democrats’ performance in Berlin was less dismal, at 18.8%, it still represented a serious drop from the 28.2% the CDU won in 2023.
The CDU’s latest setbacks came just two weeks after the party finished a distant second with 17.2% of the vote in the regional election in Saxony-Anhalt. The AfD secured a resounding victory in the eastern region with 43.8% of the vote.
