An election in the German region of Saxony-Anhalt is emerging as a dark omen for embattled Chancellor Friedrich Merz.
EeuronewsOriginal★★★☆☆2026-09-08 06:53
The far-right Alternative für Deutschland won almost 44% in Saxony-Anhalt, a historic high. In Magdeburg, immigrants fear deportation under the party’s programme, while other residents express shock and concern about its attitude towards refugees and the future of Germany.
Chancellor Merz is under mounting pressure a day after the AfD secured a historic victory in Saxony-Anhalt. Ukraine is also confronting a worsening economic challenge as it struggles to keep financing its war against Russia, while thousands attended Ratko Mladić’s pompous funeral in Serbia yesterday.
The far-right Alternative für Deutschland has won a historic state election victory in Saxony-Anhalt, shocking Germany and Europe. For the first time since the Nazi era, a far-right party has been pushed to the brink of regional power in Germany, raising questions about why the mainstream parties’ firewall failed and how the rise of the far right can be countered.
Chancellor Friedrich Merz said Germany’s governing coalition will not alter its policy toward Russia or stop supporting Ukraine despite the AfD’s decisive win in Saxony-Anhalt and stronger opposition support. He also defended his decision to promptly publicize findings from the Leipzig/Halle Airport drone investigation.
The far-right Alternative for Germany led Saxony-Anhalt’s election with about 44 percent of the vote, coming close to becoming the first far-right party to head a German state since World War II. Economic concerns and anger over immigration have helped it, while mainstream parties still maintain a firewall against coalition cooperation despite the party’s national polling lead.
The far-right Alternative for Germany has trounced the governing conservatives in impoverished former East German Saxony-Anhalt. Although it fell short of an outright win, the result has shaken Germany and Europe, prompting questions about backing an anti-immigrant, pro-Russian party that wants schools to teach less about Hitler’s crimes and more about Bismarck’s glory.
