Germany cautiously welcomes Bosnia election results, notes shadows
N1 BosniaLO·DE · BA·3 days ago
Germany's Christian Democratic Union (CDU) is holding a presidium meeting in Berlin to confront one of the most severe crises in its history. The party faces internal divisions and declining public support, with leadership under pressure to chart a path forward. The outcome may reshape Germany's center-right political landscape ahead of upcoming elections.
The CDU is undergoing a significant internal reassessment of its strategy toward the AfD, driven by recent electoral defeats and a severe party crisis. While the national leadership is holding a retreat to consider a new approach, the Cologne CDU has already signaled an end to its local 'firewall' policy. The extent of a broader national policy shift remains unclear.
