Regional in Germany: Merz admits CDU defeat, AfD celebrates and Die Linke advances
The regional elections in Germany left the CDU of Friedrich Merz in crisis, after a historical setback that the Chancellor described as "disastrous" by not reaching the 5% threshold in some states. In contrast, the ultra-right of AfD celebrated unpublished victories: its leader Alice Weidel said the party is ready to become a decisive force in the country. Meanwhile, Die Linke was consolidated in Berlin, where his candidate Elif Eralp celebrated the triumph with a message of social change.
