PoliticsGerman Chancellor Merz ‘shocked’ by far-right AfD election win

Chancellor Friedrich Merz says Germany is undergoing a tectonic shift in party politics after the far-right Alternative for Germany won in Saxony-Anhalt. He said the result shook his conservative CDU to its core and showed the need for a major reckoning. The anti-immigration party has proposed banning rainbow flags in schools and segregating refugee children in classes.
