According to a report by Britain's “Guardian”, state council elections were held in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania and Berlin in eastern Germany on the 20th local time. According to an export poll released that night, the far-right German Choice Party won the most votes in the state of Meissen, while the left-wing party took the lead in Berlin. German Chancellor Mertz's CDU performed poorly in both states and suffered a “fiasco.” According to reports, preliminary results showed that the CDU's approval rating in Meiqian State was slightly higher than the 5% threshold for the party to enter the state legislature, setting the party's worst record in the history of Meiqian. Mertz called this result a “disaster.” Speaking that night, Mertz said that the German economy is undergoing profound changes, social interaction is becoming more and more acute, and the public's trust in national institutions is declining. This trust is being impacted by political extremist forces. He said that Germany needs to push forward reforms, and the federal government he leads will assume responsibility for promoting reforms.
