Annalena Baerbock, the co-leader of Germany’s Green party, is losing ground in the race to become the country’s next chancellor, a new poll shows.
Baerbock would receive 20% of the vote if national elections were held today, a drop of 4 points compared with last week, according to the poll by Insa published in the Sunday edition of Bild. The result comes days after Baerbock admitted to receiving bonus payments which she failed to report to parliament.
