which ended in a mass brawl. midmorning on monday here in moscow this is international a very warm welcome to you. poles in germany various upcoming regional elections do not look good for. the chancellor's key coalition at the c.s.u. looks set to lose significant ground for the first time in decades the c.s.u. is projected to go on a less than forty percent the greens are predicted to double their seats in the bavarian parliament while right wing is the f.t. are set to make their debut and as aussies peter all of our explains this could have serious ramifications for the balance of power in. this coming sunday coalition partners and sister policy the c c u. a pairing for

a monumental upset in bavaria in state elections they're currently polling at just thirty three percent the party has historically ruled the region and hasn't taken less than forty percent in local elections since the nineteen fifties the blame for the c.s.u. being down in the doldrums is being firmly placed at mrs merkel's door these are all numbers that are heavily influenced by burl in politics i do not want to burn in style situation in the bavarian state parliament internal disputes hurt no matter what causes them i admit that things can get better in berlin but if you let your own personal ambition take over it becomes impossible to govern the c.s.u. of been hemorrhaging votes to the left and to the right of the political spectrum the green party looks set to make some big gains while the anti migrant alternative for germany party look almost nailed on to into the bavarian parliament for the first time this year series out of touch with the citizens of bavaria and
