Digital Editor of Europe in Germany

Rival political leaders in Germany will take their struggle for votes until the last moment in impetus, which reflects the basic nature of the election on Sunday, not only for their country but for Europe as a whole.
The Conservative Frontner Friedrich Mertz told supporters that under his leadership Germany would take responsibility in Europe and that the final right alternative to Germany (AFD) would face political borders once more.
He will put an end to the campaign of his Christian Democrats Party with a rally in Munich, while his rivals will make a final appeal in a TV program for “Fast Meetings” with the voters.
For months, German policy has been paralyzed by the collapse of the previous government.
Now, the hopes have been raised throughout Europe, that this vote will bring some security to the biggest democracy of the EU and its largest economy, which is struggling to escape from the prolonged recession.
Nothing will change overnight. No party can rule without forming a coalition and it will take weeks.
The restoration of the economy was one of the two large issues of the campaign; The other is migration and security aimed at Germany's politicians from a series of deadly attacks from May 2024.
The cities of Mannheim, Solingen, Magdeburg, Ashafenburg and Munich have suffered severe attacks. A Spanish tourist was stabbed in the Holocaust Memorial in downtown Berlin on Friday night, although his wounds are not considered life -threatening.
All alleged attackers were immigrants, and AFD at Alice Videl has advanced to about 20% in the ballot boxes with its nationalist, anti -migration message.
She appeals to the younger voters on social media and is far ahead of the Tittok race, with 870,000 followers. It was also embedded in support by both billionaire Elon Musk and US Vice President JD Vance, who is accused of interfering with the German campaign.

AFD talks about securing the borders of Germany and deporting migrants who came illegally and committed crimes. But it uses the word “remigination”, which is also related to mass deportations.
In Solingen, where the Syrian was accused of stabbing three people last August, hundreds of people found themselves on Friday night to speak against the rise of the far right.
“We have many friends who grew up in Germany whose parents did not do it,” said a woman called Natalie, 35 years old. “We don't want anyone to drive them out and we don't want our boundaries to be closed.”
A man named Johen raised a sign that was “never again!”
There was a large police presence at the protest, and a Friday night's stabbing in Berlin increased fears of security.
A police union spokesman warned of the risk of attacks aimed at destabilizing democracy.

All major parties have ruled out by working with AFD in the government, but if it interviews higher than 20%, it can double the number of places to 150 in parliament in 630 seats.
Merz's most common partner is the Chancellor Olaf Scholz's Social Democrats, though probably without Scholz himself. The message from his central left SPD, as the last day of the campaign began, was that every vote counts and if the Germans wanted a strong government, they need a strong SPD.
The Social Democrats are in third place in the ballot boxes, but Scholz nauses their hopes to approximately one in five indefinite voters who could make a big change.
Friedrich Merz was in a calm and confident mood when he appeared on stage this week in front of 1,200 supporters in the city of Tech Darmstadt near Frankfurt. But his message was great when he directed his thoughts to Donald Trump's presidency.
One hand in his pocket and the other holds the microphone, he talks about unprecedented times and a “tectonic change in world power centers.”
“The political order is now falling apart. What we have been used to for decades is falling apart.” He was not even sure if the US would join Germany, celebrating the 70th year of his accession to NATO in the summer.
He castrated the leaving government for not participating in a leading role on the international scene.
“The German Government and Chancellor have to finally take on a leading role in Europe.
The Germans had almost night opportunities to see their political leaders to tingle the big problems in television debate, and Alice Wedel is in the dense of them, sharing the scene with both Merz and Scholz.
At the beginning of the vote, she met with Vice President J.
This firewall – Fiery wall In German, he has been strong since the end of the war, although Mertz himself was accused of breaking down when he relied on AFD's support last month in a migration proposal.
Since then, he has been confronted with demonstrations and has had a noisy protest when he visited Darmstad.

Doctor student Annika, 29 -year -old, held a banner of Hertz Stat Mertz – Love instead of Merz. “He says he won't do something with the very right AFD, but his actions contradict what he says. I don't believe him at all.”
Merz seems to have been stung by protest and tried to reassure the voters, that there would be no “tolerance, there is no government of minorities (with AFD), nothing at all.”
