Germany: ‘Hard to say’ if AfD win the result of protest vote • FRANCE 24 English

The Alternative for Germany (AfD) surged into first place in state elections in Saxony-Anhalt on Sunday, exit polls showed, putting a far-right party within reach of power at the state level for the first time since World War Two. However, France 24’s correspondent in Berlin, Nick Holdsworth, says it is “hard to say” if the victory is more the result of dissatisfaction with Chancellor Friedrich Merz’s governing conservatives, or an explicit endorsement of the AfD.

  1. Strange logic! If there was "hybrid warfare" against Germany by Russia, which this expert clown is certain about, why is pro Russia AfD is seeing its popularity surging?!

  2. Can't admit people have had enough of the mass importation of the third world by leftist open borders politicians.

  3. (Shadowed Banned) Vander Lying takes of to Greenland. Doesn't want to Listen to the People. She will have to take Her Head out of the Sand sometime……France and Marine Le Pen next……(Praying Hand Emoji)

  4. I love how the leftist media is crying and seething over this 🤣🤣🤣. This is what you get for pushing the sheer lunacy of unrestricted immigration and woke politics for the past few decades. The people of Europe are fighting back!

  5. Proudly voted to AFD for clean streets free from junkies, restarting of Nuclear power for cheap energy, lesser taxation, not wasting our money on welfare payments for illegal aliens, finally hopefully our women can go clubbing without getting harssed. We can't even host our national flags these days! At least this party won't make me guilty to feel PROUD of my country.

    I VOTED because I wanted these policies. I am not against immigration, but it should be measured and VETTED. Only high skilled and culturally integrated people. We want a easy going society and prosperity.

  6. At this stage it's no longer a protest vote but a clear voter statement of being tired of being ignored by governments across Europe. Government reaction is now key
