Huge result for the AFD a couple of weeks ago in uh Saxony Anhalt. voice-verified
There was this past weekend another incredible result in Mecklenburg, Western Pomerania, which I gather colloquially is known as uh uh mechpom, right? voice-verified
Um voice-verified
Interestingly, with this result, even though the AFD came in slightly lower from about the forty-four percent they achieved a couple of weeks ago, um to about thirty-eight percent, thirty-eight point two percent in Mecklenburg, um the really important result, and we'll continue this um voice-verified
in the second half of our interview, the the implications for the CDU. voice-verified
But the the the the really astonishing result here is is is the actual collapse in the votes of the CDU, which has fallen beneath that threshold of five percent. voice-verified
I think it's about the latest figures suggest it's working in at about four point eight percent. voice-verified
We'll discuss that um a little later on, but first of all, break this down. voice-verified
there appears to be now, correct me if I'm wrong, there aren't expected to be at this, you know, f for the next year or so any voice-verified
key state elections now from f f for the next twelve months or so in Germany. voice-verified
So we had the ones a couple of weeks ago uh again in lower um Saxon Saxony Anhalt, this one in Mecklenburg-Pomerania. voice-verified
And now there's not expected to be anything for quite some time. voice-verified
Um so now voice-verified
From the vantage point now, having had these elections out of way, and there were other elections as well at the weekend, for example, in Berlin, but we're just gonna focus on on the results in Mecklenburg right now. voice-verified
Um from the vantage point of having got gotten these elections out of the way, break it down for us and explain for our audience where this puts the AFD right now. voice-verified
um in in in German politics. voice-verified
Okay, let's just break this down because you said something, Vadim, in your analysis here, which for our largely American audience is absolutely instrumental in what's taken place in the in the last month or so, um in Germany. voice-verified
And you said that in these elections, these most recent elections in Mecklenburg, Western Pomerania. voice-verified
That this is the worst result for the voice-verified
Christian Democratic Union, the centre right, the establishment centre right, the establishment voice-verified
