Paul Kirby is the Europe digital editor for BBC in Germany. Friedrich Merz is confident in his chances of winning the election and has shown strong conviction in his party rallies. The upcoming election in Germany is crucial not only for the country but also for Europe as a whole. The conservative frontrunner, Merz, aims to lead Germany responsibly in Europe and push the far-right AfD to the political margins. The election campaign has been dominated by issues such as the economy, migration, and security, particularly in light of recent deadly attacks in various cities. The AfD, led by Alice Weidel, has gained support with its nationalist and anti-immigration message, despite opposition from mainstream parties. The final days of campaigning are crucial as political leaders make their last appeals to voters, with the hope of forming a stable government post-election. Paul Kirby no confío en el para nada.” Merz parece haber sido picado por el clamor y ha tratado de tranquilizar a los votantes de que no habrá “ninguna tolerancia, ningún gobierno minoritario [con la AfD], nada de nada”.
