Saarland state election 2022: SPD is clearly ahead of the CDU in polls
A new state parliament will be elected in Saarland on March 27th. The smallest state in Germany has been governed by a grand coalition led by the CDU since 2012. The CDU has been the Prime Minister in the state since 1999.
According to the ZDF survey, a coalition led by the SPD with both the Greens and the CDU would be able to win a majority. It could just about be enough for a social-liberal government if the FDP manages to get into the state parliament. A traffic light consisting of SPD, FDP and Greens would also be possible in this case.
