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.
