默克尔对萨克森-安哈尔特州选举结果表示震惊

德国前总理默克尔对周日萨克森-安哈尔特州的选举结果作出强烈回应1。作为基督教民主联盟成员，默克尔表示"心在滴血"1，称选举结果"简直令人震惊"1。右翼德国选择党(AfD)在该州赢得近44%的票数但未获得多数席位1，而基民盟的得票率跌幅更大1。

德国目前面临多方面挑战。在教育领域，德国学生在2025年PISA评估中的成绩创下经合组织有记录以来的最差水平1。能源方面，德国能源储存协会报告天然气储备仅为9月初容量的53%，这是过去15年同期最低水平1。出口市场也出现疲软迹象，德国出口月度首次下滑0.8%，其中对华出口下降9.5%1，尽管对美出口增长了19%1。与此同时，德国防长毕斯托留斯宣布向乌克兰提供PAC-2拦截导弹和空对空导弹1，政府计划在2027年预算中投入€1180亿用于人工智能、数据中心和基础设施投资1。

Former German Chancellor Angela Merkel expressed shock at the election results in Saxony-Anhalt on Sunday, declaring that her "heart bleeds" as a member of the Christian Democratic Union (CDU) 1. The right-wing Alternative for Germany (AfD) significantly outperformed expectations, while the CDU experienced a steeper decline than anticipated 1. Merkel described the electoral outcome as "simply shocking" 1.

The AfD secured nearly 44 percent of the vote in Saxony-Anhalt but failed to obtain a majority of seats 1. The election results come as Germany faces multiple concurrent challenges across various sectors. German students achieved their lowest scores on record in the 2025 PISA assessment administered by the OECD 1. Additionally, the country's natural gas reserves have fallen to 53 percent capacity as of early September, marking the lowest level for that period in the past 15 years, according to the German Energy Storage Association 1. On the international trade front, German exports declined month-over-month by 0.8 percent, with exports to China falling 9.5 percent despite a 19 percent increase in exports to the United States 1. Meanwhile, Defense Minister Boris Pistolius announced plans to supply Ukraine with PAC-2 interceptor missiles and air-to-air missiles 1.
