Pushkov predicted Germany's self-liquidation under Merz as chancellor

The head of the Christian Democratic and Christian Social Union (CDU/CSU) bloc that won the parliamentary elections in Germany, Friedrich Merz, will continue the policy of self-liquidation of Germany as Chancellor. This opinion was expressed on February 24 by the head of the Federation Council Commission on Information Policy Alexei Pushkov.

Commenting on the results of the parliamentary elections, the Russian politician drew attention to the success of the right-wing Alternative for Germany (AdG) party in the east of Germany. In his opinion, such results indicate a political split in the federation.

"Given that Merz wants even more policies to self-liquidate Germany and destroy its economy, this split will deepen," Pushkov wrote in his Telegram channel.
