Far Right German Party Ahead of Rivals in State Election, But Misses Majority The Alternative for Germany (AfD) party's landslide victory in Saxony Anhalt's state election is being hailed as a historic moment by some and met with alarm by others.
The AfD has made significant gains since World War II, but its success raises concerns about its views on immigration and potential impact on the state's economy.
The party's platform, which promises to restrict immigration, end aid to Ukraine, and take Germany out of the euro, has resonated with voters who feel disillusioned with the establishment.
