AfD could lead "the first far-right state government since the dark days of Nazism"
World2 sources2 countries🔦 Under-reported52m ago
On Sunday, the far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) party secured a massive lead in state elections in Saxony-Anhalt, with early results showing the party heading toward a landslide victory with 44.5 percent of the vote.
The election has drawn close national and international attention because a potential AfD-led government would mark the first time a regional government in Germany has been headed by a far-right party since the end of the Second World War and the Nazi era. While the party's state leader declared that the outcome sends a signal to Berlin, it remains unclear whether the AfD will ultimately be able to successfully form a governing coalition.
