Far-right AfD claims crushing victory in east German state vote
Europe2 sources2 countries🔦 Under-reported54m ago
Germany's far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) party has secured a landslide victory in a key regional state election in eastern Germany. The vote took place on Sunday in Saxony-Anhalt, a former communist state.
AfD leaders celebrated the crushing election win, which is viewed as a stinging rebuke for Chancellor Friedrich Merz. Despite the party's decisive victory, it remains unclear whether the AfD will secure the absolute majority needed to govern the region alone.
