Germany will elect a new Bundestag in the coming week. Experts anticipate a narrow election result. Armin Laschet also sees a close race.
A week before the federal election, Union Chancellor candidate Armin Laschet is still confident despite the persistent backlog in the polls.
“This is a very close choice, a very close race,” said Laschet on Saturday on the sidelines of an election campaign event of the CDU in Delbrück-Steinhorst in North Rhine-Westphalia in front of media workers.
In his speech to around 500 CDU members, he said: “We now have eight days left, and we can all feel that something is moving.” He underlined his critical stance on election polls. “Surveys are surveys – a new click survey every day.” A large number of people are not included in these surveys. “But on the next Sunday there is no click, a slip of paper is filled out. Then there will be a vote and then the many who are usually not asked will be able to articulate their vote. “
The SPD with candidate Olaf Scholz was in the last polls with around 25 percent approval, always several points ahead of the CDU and CSU. Opinion researchers see the Greens with their applicant Annalena Baerbock still in third place.
The start of the event with Laschet in Delbrück-Steinhorst was delayed due to a medical emergency. A man in the event tent had to be treated by paramedics. Climate activists from the group “Parents for future” demonstrating in front of the tent then used their large banner in the tent to create a privacy screen for the rescue measures. They then continued their demonstration in front of the tent. “Energy transition now” read on the banner.
