Just spoke to 3 people in & around an AfD event in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern.

- An anti-AfD protestor
- A CDU candidate (!)
The verdict on Friedrich Merz was brutal: Chancellor described as arrogant, out of touch or a bad communicator.

🇩🇪 German elections and everyone's talking about the SPD's "Frau gegen Blau" - "woman against blue".
Manuela Schwesig's comeback campaign in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern appears to be putting her party in real contention with the AfD.

2) He's unlikely to want to give up a job he's coveted for so long.
