Saxony-Anhalt poll: ‘A huge blow for the CDU, but also a huge win for the AfD’ • FRANCE 24 English
Carys Garland is pleased to welcome Markus Ziener, Visiting Senior Fellow at the German Marshall Fund. He interprets the AfD’s breakthrough in Saxony-Anhalt as a potentially historic turning point in post-war German politics. For Ziener, the significance lies not only in the scale of the far right’s electoral success, but also in the constituency behind it: many AfD voters, he argues, were previously politically disengaged rather than simply defecting from established parties. This complicates conventional explanations of the result as a straightforward transfer of support from the CDU to the AfD and raises a deeper question about the political expectations of a newly mobilised electorate.

Would this not repeat in France in 2027?
What do the People think ?, comment please
The far right is good at winning power but sucks at ruling. Let them rule and they'll collapse as happened in Hungary, Poland, Netherlands, etc, etc.
HA! Keep calling them the "far right"
They won because people voted for them. The current government failed so better to celebrate than to say extremist
There was nothing christian or democratic or united about that bait
For Merz problems are the NATO & Europe policies with the war in Ukraine with Russian Federation
When do the far left extremists get to win one election then have absolute control over everything? I blame centrists for allowing the elections to be rigged by the far right.
From the Anglo-Saxons of England to the Saxons of Saxony congratulations.
The first time patriots have won an election in Germany since the 1930s.
Merz feels the Schmerz.
AFD is the biggest party in Germany
What will we do ???
Call them extremist far right, that will scare people off.
TrumpISM arrives in Germany! You all will be sorry for decades!
Mertz + VW Group = Auf Wiedersehen
why do you call them 'far right' ?
they are smiling , friendly people 😊😂
You call yourselves Christian Democrats, yet you let the cities turn into awful ghettos and refuse to work with a democratically-elected party.
There's nothing Christian or democratic about you.
