Germany: Could regional polls froce Friedrich Merz to step down?

Polling is underway within the German capital Berlin and the largely rural state of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania for regional elections. Both elections are seen as a check for Germany’s centre-right Chancellor Friedrich Merz. He has already scheduled a disaster assembly and determined to skip this week’s UN General Assembly to cope with the potential fallout. Could he be compelled to step down primarily based on the election’s outcomes? Details and evaluation by Yann Wernert, senior coverage fellow on the Jacques Delors Centre in Berlin.
