German politicians made a final scramble for votes Saturday on the eve of key elections in which conservatives hope to win despite the dramatic rise of the far right targeting a record score.

Germany’s economy is stalled and its politics fractured. But it sees an opening for a new chancellor to lead Europe’s response to a changing America.

Various events are planned across Germany on Saturday, the final day of the election campaign before polls open on Sunday. The conservative bloc made up of the Christian Democrats (CDU) and their Bavarian sister party Christian Social Union (CSU) is holding its final event on Saturday afternoon in Munich.
