00:01German Chancellor Friedrich Merz said he was shocked by Sunday's Saxony and Holt election results,
00:08in which the far-right Alternative for Germany party secured a major win.
00:14Speaking during a press conference alongside the Christian Democratic Union for Germany candidate in Saxony and Holt, Sven Schulz,
00:23Merz said he saw a society looking for fundamental change.
00:27With the yesterday's day something changed not only in Saxony and Holt, but also in ganz Germany.
00:36This result will also have an effect on the international situation.
00:43If you only see who voted yesterday, then shows what this result will also be international.
00:56The far-right anti-immigration and Russia-friendly AFD party won the election with 43.8% of the vote,
01:06while Merz's CDU party came in a distant second with 17.2%.
01:12Merz conceded that his own low ratings played a role in the CDU's loss, but still vowed to continue his
01:20government's mandate as chancellor.
01:22Thank you very much, Sonora.
01:23What's wrong with the EU and U.S.?
01:24As you say, I'm not going anywhere, I'm not going and never understand.
