Campaign
- On September 13, televised debates took place between the leaders of the main warring parties and the main candidates for the post of chancellor - Angela Merkel and Frank-Walter Steinmeier . Viewers who followed the debates gave preference to Steinmeier , but with a slight margin [3] [4] .
- Shortly before the election, a series of video messages to the Germans recorded on behalf of al-Qaida appeared on the Internet. They contained mainly calls to vote for politicians who advocated the withdrawal of German troops from Afghanistan . Due to the threat of a recurrence of terrorist attacks such as the one that occurred in Madrid on March 11, 2004, 3 days before the parliamentary elections in Spain , the level of the terrorist threat in Germany was increased to the highest [5] .
