消息人士稱，德國總理梅爾茨在政治壓力下取消紐約行程

柏林，9月15日（路透社）——一名政府消息人士週二表示，德國總理弗里德里希・梅爾茨下週將不會按原計畫前往紐約，因為柏林需要他在場。BERLIN, Sept 15 (Reuters) - German Chancellor Friedrich Merz will not travel to New York as planned next week because his presence is required in Berlin, a government source said on Tuesday.

這位保守派總理近來承受壓力。極右派德國另類選擇黨9月6日在薩克森-安哈特邦創下歷史性選舉成績後，週日還有另外兩場邦選舉，將成為梅爾茨的下一個考驗。The conservative chancellor has come under pressure following a historic result for the far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) in the state of Saxony-Anhalt on September 6, with two more state elections serving as his next test on Sunday.

梅爾茨原定出席在紐約舉行的聯合國大會。Merz had been scheduled to attend the UN General Assembly in New York.
