Controversy Over RTL/ntv Planned Election Duel
TV (linear) · Erfasster Impact-Score: 2/5
RTL and ntv planned a televised duel between Mecklenburg-Vorpommern Minister-President Manuela Schwesig (SPD) and AfD politician Leif-Erik Holm for the September state election, in cooperation with radio station Ostseewelle. CDU and The Left (Linke) criticized the format after reportedly being invited and then excluded. The newspaper taz reported claims that Schwesig's camp pressured RTL to limit the show to a one-on-one duel; Schwesig's campaign says broadcasters decide their formats. RTL Deutschland denies substantive SPD influence and says editorial judgment and current polling led to a duel format. Separately, for the Sachsen-Anhalt election ntv plans a broader "Wahlarena" with Radio Brocken including all leading candidates.

The ordnance disposal service established a 400-meter danger radius and planned to defuse the bomb the same day; the exact time of the defusal was not specified.
