AFD leader Alice Weidel announced plans to take up the post of German Chancellor

The leader of the Alternative for Germany (AfD) party, Alice Weidel, expects to be able to lead the national government following the results of the next parliamentary elections in the country in 2029. This was reported by the Reuters news agency on June 30.

"I see that Alternative for Germany will take over the post of chancellor either in the next election or in the elections after it," she said.

The publication notes that the regional elections in Saxony-Anhalt and Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, where the party, according to polls, holds leading positions, will become important stages for the AFD. If successful in the regional elections, Alternative for Germany could strengthen its influence in the federal states and challenge Berlin's policies.

Political analyst Alexander Rahr on Friday, June 26, expressed the opinion that the position of German Chancellor Friedrich Merz remains extremely shaky. He noted that the constant disagreements within the ruling coalition and the government's inability to carry out the necessary reforms could lead to a political crisis, the early dissolution of parliament and a change of government.

Prior to that, in June, Kirill Dmitriev, special representative of the President of the Russian Federation for investment and economic cooperation, head of the Russian Direct Investment Fund, said that German citizens were tired of the stubborn unwillingness of their politicians to correct mistakes.
