SPD Campaigns In Rhineland-Palatinate

MAINZ, GERMANY - MARCH 11: Rhineland-Palatinate Governor Malu Dreyer (SPD) pictured during an election campaign rally on March 11, 2016 in Mainz, Germany. State elections scheduled for March 13 in three German states: Rhineland-Palatinate, Saxony-Anhalt and Baden-Wuerttemberg, will be a crucial test-case for German Chancellor and Chairwoman of the German Christian Democrats (CDU) Angela Merkel, who has come under increasing pressure over her liberal immigration policy towards migrants and refugees. The AfD, with campaign rhetoric aimed at Germans who are uneasy with so many newcomers, has solid polling numbers and will almost certainly win seats in all three state parliaments.
