00:00The leading CDU party in Germany will remain in power as the far right gets a boost that
00:06could hinder the government's traffic coalition, according to an exclusive Euronews super poll.
00:12The CDU is expected to take the lead in votes from March until April at the expense of the
00:18SPD, the party of the current German Chancellor Olaf Scholz.
00:23Scholz placed third according to the poll, which measures voters' intentions in the upcoming
00:28European elections.
00:30According to the Euronews super poll, even the far-right Alternative for Germany party
00:34gained more points than the SPD.
00:37The historical centre-left SPD party slipped from 17% to 15%.
00:43Another party losing ground are the Greens, who suffer a 3% drop from 16%.
00:50The pro-market liberals of the FDP, the party of the current Minister of Finance, is the
00:55only party of the current tri-party coalition that seems to be slightly improving its popularity.
01:03The FDP is a component of Renew, the liberal-democrat group at the European Parliament.
01:10It is too early to say if the Chinese spying scandal that affected the assistant of Maximilian
01:14Krah, the leading AfD candidate in the EU elections, may have a negative impact on the
01:20final result.
01:21Up to the moment, Krah is still running for the EU elections.
01:25The robust growth of the CDU has given a boost to the current EU Commission President Ursula
01:30von der Leyen, that starts to contemplate the possibility of a big centre-right coalition
01:36with the conservatives group at the possible detriment of the current grand coalition with
01:41the socialists and the liberals.
01:43According to the pan-EU figures available, it seems at the moment a quite ambitious plan.
01:50On the radical left side, the migration-sceptic faction of Volkswagen Connect seems to be
01:54losing consensus, even though it overtakes the liberals of the FDP and Bielink, a decades-old
02:00member of the left group at the EU Parliament.
