德国于9月20日举行两场州议会选举，极右翼的德国选择党大幅扩展政治影响力，而总理弗里德里希·梅尔茨领导的基督教民主联盟(CDU)遭遇重创2。在梅克伦堡-西波美拉尼亚州，CDU首次在州选举中未达5%门槛，无法进入州议会，这在该党历史上尚属首次2。在柏林，CDU也遭受重大损失，可能沦为反对党2。
德国选择党表现抢眼，在梅克伦堡-西波美拉尼亚州获得38%支持率，在柏林则从9%增至16%2。与此同时，左翼党在柏林首次赢得州选举，获得26%支持率，可能产生该党首位市长2。梅尔茨承认联邦政策未能说服公众2，并将这一结果描述为"一个深刻的转折点"和CDU"前所未有的戏剧性结果"2。面对挫折，总理宣称将推进包括有争议的养老金改革在内的福利制度改革2。
Chancellor Friedrich Merz's governing Christian Democratic Union (CDU) suffered unprecedented losses in two state elections held on September 20, marking a critical moment for Germany's political landscape.2 In Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania, the CDU failed to reach the five-percent threshold required for parliamentary representation for the first time in its history, while the party also sustained significant damage in Berlin where it risks becoming opposition.2 The far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) surged dramatically, capturing 38 percent of votes in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania and rising from nine percent to 16 percent in Berlin.2
Merz acknowledged that federal policies had failed to persuade the public, describing the results as "a deep turning point" and the CDU's "unprecedented dramatic outcome."2 Meanwhile, the Left party achieved a breakthrough performance, winning 26 percent in Berlin and potentially securing its first state-level mayor.2 The Central Council of Jews in Germany has expressed concerns about antisemitism within the Left party.2 In response to the electoral setback, Merz announced plans to advance welfare system reforms, including a controversial pension reform initiative.2
