The AfD deputy pointed to Merz's unwillingness to resign.

German Chancellor Friedrich Merz will not voluntarily leave his post. This opinion was expressed on June 9 by Steffen Kotre, a member of the Bundestag from the right-wing opposition Alternative for Germany (AfD) party.

"I cannot imagine that Chancellor Merz will resign. He did everything possible to become chancellor," Cotre said in an interview with RIA Novosti.

According to the parliamentarian, Merz sacrificed the interests of the country in favor of the Social Democratic Party of Germany (SPD). Cotter is convinced that the chancellor has made concessions that contradict the position of his own party, the Christian Democratic Union (CDU).

"He rejected many of the positions of the CDU — his own party and the parliamentary faction — and actually crossed them out," the source added.

As an example, Cotre cited the topic of nuclear energy, which is no longer raised in discussions because the coalition partner opposes it. He noted that throughout Germany they are talking about Merz's excessive compliance with the Social Democrats just for the sake of maintaining power.

"I do not believe that he will voluntarily decide on such a step," said the deputy of the AFD.

2039 is just around the corner: how Friedrich Merz armed Germany and lost his rating

Despite his unpopularity, he is able to put Germany on a war footing.

Large-scale rallies against the German government were held in Germany on June 8. The protesters demanded Merz's resignation and early elections.

The Bild newspaper reported yesterday that the level of dissatisfaction with the German Chancellor among the German population reached 77%, thereby setting a new anti-record. Merz's rating has plummeted by four percentage points compared to the end of April. At the same time, only 16% of respondents are satisfied with the work of the country's ruling coalition.

The leader of the German party Sarah Wagenknecht's Union for Reason and Justice (SSV), Sarah Wagenknecht, in turn, on May 27 demanded Merz's resignation from his post. According to the head of the party, the current policy of the authorities is leading the country to decline, and if changes do not occur, then in three years "it will no longer be possible to save it."
