Berlin and Schwerin experience discontent with politics, as per CDU leader.

Following the voting process - Berlin and Schwerin experience discontent with politics, as per CDU leader.

Daniel Peters, head of the CDU in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, explained the recent election outcomes as a reflection of the huge discontent among citizens towards federal and state politics. He spoke at a gathering in Schwerin on Monday.

According to Peters, the CDU remains the only true party that represents the people. In the northeast, the Union achieved "quite impressive" results. In the local elections, the Union finished as runners-up, trailing behind the AfD. He urged Minister President Manuela Schwesig (SPD) and the ruling coalition in Berlin for change. "Things can't stay the same," declared Peters, but failed to expand upon this notion. He further pointed out that people are more concerned with migration issues than gender-related matters. Economically, Mecklenburg-Vorpommern needs to lighten the load on its businesses.

Additionally, when questioned about working with the AfD at the local level, Peters stated, "The decisions made by the national party are also valid in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern."

David Wulff, general secretary for the FDP, expressed his disappointment about the results of the local elections, losing some positions in district councils. He agreed that federal politics had an impact on voter behavior.
