  • A heated week in German politics, prompted by conservative opposition leader Friedrich Merz's divisive decision to lean on far-right votes in parliament, has hardly budged polls ahead of elections on February 23.

The article from MSN discusses the current state of German politics as the country approaches its European Parliament elections. Despite a week filled with controversy, including protests against the far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) party and internal issues within the ruling coalition, recent polls indicate that voter preferences have remained largely unchanged. The AfD, despite facing significant public backlash and internal strife, continues to hold steady in the polls. Meanwhile, the coalition led by Chancellor Olaf Scholz, which includes the Social Democrats (SPD), the Greens, and the Free Democrats (FDP), has not seen a significant shift in support either. This stability in voter intention comes amidst discussions on various national and international issues, including climate policy, economic recovery, and Germany's stance on the Ukraine conflict. The article suggests that while there is considerable political turbulence, it has not yet translated into a marked change in electoral support for the major parties.
