Currently, the center-right Christian Democratic Union (CDU) and its Bavarian sister party, the Christian Social Union (CSU), are ahead in polls compiled by the Berlin-based election research institute Infratest Dimap. The Union parties enjoy a lead of more than 10 per cent points over the far-right populist Alternative for Germany (AfD), which is polling second, DW reported.
Meanwhile, Bjorn Hocke, one of the most controversial figures in the AfD party and a former history teacher, has faced criticism for using Nazi terminology in his speeches. His views have also been criticised within the AfD, with many mainstream German parties viewing him as a pariah, as reported by CNN.
Hocke is popular among the youth. «If they… see a bit of a pop star in me, then that's fine because the youth also need idols like that,» he told CNN last Tuesday.
In Cottbus, a city in eastern Brandenburg, the mood is tense as voters prepare to head to the polls with the rest of Germany on February 23 after Chancellor Olaf Scholz's three-party coalition government led by his Social Democratic Party (SPD) collapsed last November, Al Jazeera reported.
