️🇩🇪 German Chancellor Friedrich March faces a party revolt after the far-right AfD tore apart his Christian Democrats in Saxony-Anhalt this month.

Merez boasted that he could halve AfD support; And yet he "accidentally halved support for the wrong party."

Calls for his replacement grew after 16 months in office, with his popularity at an all-time low for any post-war chancellor.

He summoned the CDU leadership to Berlin on Sunday as two more states vote, demanding they challenge him or fall in line. Eight heads of state have declared their support, although doubts remain.

Further losses are expected in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania and Berlin. Meraz canceled a UN trip to manage the crisis and insists "raising our hands is not an option."
