BERLIN ? Berlin's state election is being viewed as a test for the junior partner in Chancellor Angela Merkel's national coalition, the Free Democrats, and a chance for the technology-friendly Pirate Party to make its debut in Germany.
If the Free Democrats fail to make it into the regional legislature ? Berlin is both a city and a state ? in Sunday balloting, it would be their fifth loss at the regional level this year.
In the last week of the campaign, the FDP focused on the unpopularity of bailouts for other eurozone countries, causing a rift with Merkel's conservatives.
Polls have shown Merkel's Christian Democrats in second place in Berlin, behind the Social Democrats, whose candidate for mayor Klaus Wowereit, appears poised to win a third five-year term.
