It has been one month until the German parliamentary elections, and it is a three-way development in which the two major political parties in charge of the coalition government and the opposition "Green Party" compete.
As the international situation becomes tense, attention is focused on who will replace Chancellor Angela Merkel, who has played a leading role in Europe.
The German Bundestag election, which will expire, will be voted on the 26th of next month.
Chancellor Merkel, who has led Germany for 16 years, will not run and will retire from politics.
According to the opinion poll released on the 24th, the approval rating of each party is 23% for the center-left "Social Democratic Party" who plays a part of the ruling party in the coalition government, and the center-right "Christian Democratic Party" to which Chancellor Angela Merkel belongs. The election campaign is three-fold, with 22% of the "Social Democratic Party" and 18% of the opposition "Green Party" advocating environmental protection.
Of these, the "Social Democratic Party" is rapidly gaining popularity as Prime Minister candidate Schortz's finance minister has gained popularity due to his high level of practical ability and a sense of stability.
On the other hand, the "Christian Democratic Union" was disappointing when it was reported that Mr. Rachette, a candidate for prime minister, laughed happily when he visited the flood-stricken area last month. Suspicion of plagiarism has been discovered and it is stalling.
In the midst of tensions in international affairs such as the ongoing turmoil in Afghanistan and the US-China conflict, attention is focused on who will replace Chancellor Angela Merkel, who has played a leading role in Europe.
