Why is far-right AfD’s state victory significant and what might happen next in German politics?
Germany’s far‑right Alternative for Germany (AfD) secured a historic win in the Saxony‑Anhalt state election, becoming the largest party in a regional parliament for the first time. The result challenges the traditional centre‑right bloc, may force other parties to reconsider coalition options, and could influence two further state polls slated for later this month, shaping national political dynamics.
