GERMANY’S Coalition Government, Led By Chancellor Friedrich Merz And Made Up Of His Cdu/Csu Bloc And The Social Democrats (SPD), Is Losing Popularity Just Months After Taking Office In May. Pollster Manfred Güllner Told Afp That Such Widespread Disapproval “Has Never Been Seen In Post-War German Politics.”
The Slump Comes As The Far-Right Alternative For Germany (AFD) Continues To Gain Support, Now Polling At Similar Levels To Merz’s Conservatives. Analysts Say Internal Divisions And Policy Disputes Have Weakened The Government’s Image.
The Coalition Has Faced Several Major Disagreements — From Failing To Agree On Constitutional Court Judges To Divisions Over Military Reform And Migration Policy. Conservatives Are Pushing For Stricter Measures And Even Conscription, While The Spd Favors More Moderate Approaches.
Even Members Of Merz’s Own Party, Like Foreign Minister Johann Wadephul, Have Opposed Calls To Deport Syrian Refugees. Meanwhile, Merz Himself Faced Backlash After Comments Suggesting That Migrants Were “Disfiguring” German Cities.
