Election decisions in Germany: Merz on the verge of historic reconquest!

Today, February 23, 2025, Germany faces a crucial federal election. After the early end of the traffic light government made up of the SPD, Greens and FDP, the Union under the leadership of Friedrich Merz is marching to recapture the coveted chancellorship. The pressure is enormous: experts expect a race for the votes, as the polling stations have been open since 8 a.m. and the outcome of this election will have a significant impact on the country's political future Cosmo reported.

Current polls show that the Union is expected to receive between 28 and 32 percent of the vote, followed by the AfD with 20 to 21 percent. The SPD and the Greens are at 14 to 16 percent and 12 to 14 percent, while the Left is fighting for entry into parliament with a maximum of 8 percent. The FDP and the alliance around Sahra Wagenknecht face the challenge of overcoming the 5 percent hurdle. This constellation could make forming a government a feat of strength, especially since either the SPD or the Greens could come into play as coalition partners - but if the AfD continues to make gains, the Union could be forced to look for another partner, which puts the stability of a government in question, as the polls from Elections.info confirm.

Candidates in focus

The election campaign was characterized by a fast rhythm and intensive discussions on topics such as migration policy and the ailing economy. Many voters remain undecided until the last minute, which makes the entire election even more exciting. A fierce race for votes is guaranteed, and Germany's political landscape could change fundamentally in the next few years.
