Germany: AfD set for record gains as CDU struggles to secure majority

Voting is underway in what many are calling Germany’s most crucial election in decades. The snap election was triggered by the collapse of a three-way coalition led by Chancellor Olaf Scholz’s center-left Social Democratic Party. Friedrich Merz, leader of the Christian Democrats, appears on track to become the country’s tenth Chancellor. The far-right AfD is expected to secure second place in the election. With widespread concerns over the economy, security, and immigration, only 18% of Germans feel the country is heading in the right direction. France24 Europe Editor Armen Georgian reports from Berlin.
