观察：德国领导人为何陷入政治动荡？
German Chancellor Friedrich Merz says he will keep his ruling coalition together for the sake of his country's "democratic future", following resounding defeats for his party in two state elections.
德国总理弗里德里希·梅尔茨表示，在他的政党在两次州选举中惨败后，他将为了国家的“民主未来”而保持执政联盟的团结。
"We are determined to live up to the historic challenges our country is facing," Merz said, referring to the coalition between his Christian Democratic Unionist (CDU) party and the Social Democratic Party (SPD).
默茨说：“我们决心应对我们国家面临的历史性挑战。”他指的是基督教民主联盟党（CDU）和社会民主党（SPD）之间的联盟。
Merz's position has come under mounting pressure after Sunday's election results. In the north-eastern Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, the far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) party won the most votes, with the CDU failing even to reach the threshold to stay in the state parliament.
周日的选举结果公布后，默茨的职位面临着越来越大的压力。 在梅克伦堡-前波莫瑞州东北部，极右翼的德国另类选择党（AfD）赢得了最多选票，而基民盟甚至未能达到留在州议会的门槛。
Meanwhile in Berlin, the CDU came second to the hard-left Die Linke party, with the AfD also making significant gains.
与此同时，在柏林，基民盟位居第二，落后于极左的德国左翼党，而德国选择党也取得了显着进展。
Katya Adler: Merz's political crisis threatens Germany's obsession with stability Speaking at the news conference on Monday, Merz described the result in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern as "a heavy blow" for the centre-right CDU.

"This election is a profound turning point.
“这次选举是一个意义深远的转折点。
It is a dramatic, unprecedented result for the CDU in Germany," he acknowledged. Merz said there had been no discussion about his own position since the results and pushed back against the idea that his low popularity ratings alone were behind the election defeats.
对于德国基民盟来说，这是一个戏剧性的、前所未有的结果，”他承认。 默茨表示，自选举结果公布以来，没有人讨论过他自己的立场，并反驳了选举失败背后仅是他的低支持率造成的观点。
"I know that I as an individual played a role in these state elections," Merz said, before adding: "But the reasons for the results go far beyond just me."

"We are witnessing a profound transformation of Germany's political party system, as is happening in many other countries around the world."

There have been rumours Merz, who has only been in power for 16 months, could be replaced mid-term in a so-called chancellor swap due to his poor approval ratings.
有传言称，执政仅16个月的默茨因支持率不佳，可能会在所谓的总理互换中被替换。
Asked earlier on Monday how long Merz has left in office, the AfD's co-leader Alice Weidel told the BBC: "Pretty soon, he's going to leave."

In Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, the CDU fell short of a 5% threshold to enter parliament, underperforming against what had already been projected to be the party's worst ever result in the area.
在梅克伦堡-前波莫瑞州，基民盟未能达到进入议会的 5% 门槛，与预计的该党在该地区有史以来最差的结果相比，表现不佳。
Merz earlier conceded that this result was "a disaster".
默茨早些时候承认这个结果是“一场灾难”。
While the AfD won the most votes in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, it was far short of a majority and is unlikely to govern as other parties may refuse to work with it. Some branches of the party are classed as right-wing extremist by domestic intelligence, a designation it strongly rejects.
尽管德国选择党在梅克伦堡-前波莫瑞州赢得了最多选票，但它还远未达到多数席位，并且不太可能执政，因为其他政党可能会拒绝与其合作。 该党的一些分支被国内情报部门归类为右翼极端分子，但该党强烈反对这种认定。
