    Can the CDU break the promise of not collaborating with the AfD? Or is there a guarantee? If those two form a coalition it would dominate all other possible coalitions. It feels like there’s a lot of overlap between the two.

      There is never a guarantee, elected representatives can vote however they want.
      But if they break that promise, there will be huge demonstrations and strikes everywhere.
      The CDU will lose most of their core voters, and a large number of their members.
      The much more likely outcome would be that Merz loses all internal support as soon as he announces it.
