Incoming German Chancellor Friedrich Merz suffered an embarrassing setback when he fell short of a majority in an initial vote in the lower house of parliament, potentially delaying his swearing-in as head of government due to take place later on Tuesday.
I don’t think that this will happen. The Afd was already propagandising heavily against the CDU and Merz, it wouldn’t fit their narrative.
Edit: Afd just said they’ll vote for Merz. Guess I was wrong.
