Björn Höcke, the Thuringian leader of the far-right Alternative for Germany, has offered to support left-wing populist Sahra Wagenknecht as state premier. The AfD and Wagenknecht’s alliance together hold 47 of 88 state parliament seats, a majority that could challenge the mainstream parties’ “firewall” against cooperation with the far right.
