If Siegmund is not bluffing, he has defectors from the CDU, and not just one but at least 3+. In this case, the CDU in Saxony-Anhalt would implode, and Merz's chancellorship would mark the end of the CDU as a governing anchor of the Federal Republic in the post-war period. We would be witnessing in Germany what is already a reality in France, Italy, or the Netherlands: the death of the classical Christian (and social) democratic people's parties as a symptom of a deep systemic crisis. The goal of the radically free-market and US-aligned Alice Weidel to split the CDU at the federal level and to position herself as the replacement for the Union as a governing party - with parts of the CDU in a junior role - would be almost achieved. However, it is also certain: The AfD would not be able to maintain its support permanently, as it will dismantle the welfare state and has no program for economic dynamism. In addition, conflicts over direction within the AfD will escalate. It would be just the beginning of a new party spectrum in Germany! (translated)
