Germany

“Seismic”, “a socio-political earthquake”, “a watershed moment for Germany”.

This was how political analysts and many media outlets described the stunning victory of the anti-immigration Alternative for Germany (AfD) party in local elections in Germany on Sunday. Is that an exaggeration?

Saxony-Anhalt is one of the smallest of massive Germany’s 16 regions. It boasts a mere 1.7m out of 59m eligible voters nationwide. How significant can its political sentiments be, especially since the AfD narrowly failed to win an outright majority?

The answer: very significant.

The Eurotrash elite seem deathly afraid of any nation seeking to secure there borders. I hope they are prosecuted.

The populist far-right, anti-immigration Alternative für Deutschland has emerged as the winner in a crucial state election in Germany, exit polls have projected, but it remains unclear as to whether it will be able to form a government and become the first far-right party to gain power at regional or parliament level since the second world war.

Initial exit polls showed the party to have secured 44.5% of the vote, decisively ahead of the Christian Democrats of the chancellor, Friedrich Merz, in a contest that was being followed across the world.

44.5% for the AfD! 🇩🇪🇩🇪🇩🇪

Saxony-Anhalt ist cheering.
This is the greatest chance for Germany after Angela Merkel initiated the destruction of our homeland.

Thank God heroes like Prime Minister candidate @UlrichSiegmund never gave up. pic.twitter.com/0ZAQVWYarQ

Saxony-Anhalt: Far-right AfD secures huge lead in key vote

Germany’s ruling conservative party is drawing up plans to overhaul the country’s liberal citizenship laws to fight back against the Alternative for Germany (AfD).

Senior figures in Friedrich Merz’s Christian Democratic Union (CDU) are discussing a ban on dual citizenship and tougher language requirements to counter the hard-Right party.

In an interview with The Telegraph, Günter Krings, a senior CDU MP, said previous governments had made gaining German citizenship “too fast and too easy”.

Saxony-Anhalt: Far-right AfD eyes power in German state vote

Nine people were injured after a corrosive liquid was reportedly thrown at an information stand belonging to the Alternative für Deutschland (AfD) party in Bad Kreuznach, Rhineland-Palatinate.

According to the information available and videos circulating on social media, disinfectant was poured from an adjacent building toward the AfD stand. Among those taken to hospital were AfD politicians Nicole Höchst and Sebastian Münzenmaier.

ATHENS — An election Sunday at the German state of Saxony-Anhalt could yield the far-right Alternative for Germany party a breakthrough for an ideology that some had reckoned was long-banished from the European continent.Saxony-Anhalt, with its capital at Magdeburg, is one of Germany’s 16 federal states and was part of the communist German Democratic Republic before the country was reunited in 1990 with the fall of the Soviet Union. The AfD’s leading candidate in Saxony-Anhalt, Ulrich Siegmund, was once named “Germany’s Most Dangerous Man” by Der Spiegel.

This Sunday’s state election in Saxony-Anhalt – a federal state of just over two million in eastern Germany – is of enormous significance. For the first time, the right-populist Alternative for Germany (AfD) could win an election so decisively that no alternative coalition could be formed to exclude it. Recent polls have consistently given the AfD more than 40 per cent of the vote – almost double that of the centre-right Christian Democratic Union (CDU), which is currently the biggest party in Saxony-Anhalt’s governing coalition. If these polls are accurate, not even a ‘firewall’ of anti-AfD parties governing together can keep it from winning political power.
