Germany's upcoming political landscape is uncertain as parties prepare for coalition negotiations post-election, heavily influenced by the CDU/CSU's electoral performance led by Friedrich Merz, who sits at nearly 30% support. The CDU faces pressure regarding its longstanding firewall policy against forming alliances with the far-right AfD, following a failed Bundestag motion bolstered by AfD support. Potential coalition configurations include alliances with the Greens or a grand coalition with the Social Democrats, all while contending with a significant and stable voter base for the AfD, which could destabilize future coalitions.
The CDU's attempt to maintain the firewall policy against AfD is compromised, reflecting tensions between traditional conservatism and the rising populism in Germany.
Friedrich Merz faces a critical election, where a potential coalition with either the Greens or a grand coalition with Social Democrats influences Germany's political stability.
