BERLIN, April 9 - Germany’s far-right AfD party topped a major poll for the first time on Wednesday in a sign of growing dissatisfaction with mainstream parties as chancellor-in-waiting Friedrich Merz seeks to seal a coalition government deal.

Support for Merz’s conservative CDU/CSU bloc, which won the February 23 election, fell by five percentage points to 24% while the Alternative for Germany (AfD) gained three points to land on 25%, according to the Ipsos institute’s poll.

The AfD came second in the election, the best performance by a far-right party since World War Two.

    I know what you said. I can read.

    And I explained my view, why I disagree with it.

    Regarding Volt: please, don’t promise things if you cannot keep your promise.

    Just to add a bit of an explanation: all votes going to other parties than the nazis are not wasted. In fact, the more parties receive votes, the better. Best would be an equal share. Diversity is what moves us forward.
