AGP Executive Report

Last update: 11 hours ago

AfD Surge Ahead of Berlin Vote: A new nationwide poll puts the AfD at a record 30% and 10 points ahead of Chancellor Friedrich Merz’s conservatives, with regional elections in Berlin and Mecklenburg-Vorpommern looming as a key test after the party’s Saxony-Anhalt win. Local Governance Under Strain: In Lower Saxony’s local elections, the CDU stayed strongest at 27.2% but slid 4.5 points, while the SPD fell to 24.6%, underscoring how quickly the political mood is shifting at the municipal level. Security and Defence: Defence Minister Boris Pistorius heads to Washington for talks with US counterpart Pete Hegseth, with Germany also pushing air-power modernisation including the first F-35 deliveries. Ukraine Nuclear Safety: Germany will add €1 million for nuclear safety at Ukraine’s power plants via the IAEA, on top of earlier support, as drone risks and repairs remain urgent. EU Sanctions and Hybrid Threats: The EU is preparing another major sanctions expansion tied to alleged sabotage and hybrid operations, after incidents including a reported Leipzig attack. Berlin Campaign Promises: Berlin state-election candidates are selling “clean city” fixes—garbage, graffiti, cycling lanes, housing shortages—reflecting frustration with bureaucracy and service delivery.
