He interprets the AfD\u2019s 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\u2019s 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.<br \/>\n#AfD #Germany #FarRight<\/p>\n<p>\ud83d\udd14 Subscribe to France 24 now: https:\/\/f24.my\/YTen<br \/>\n\ud83d\udd34 LIVE &#8211; Watch FRANCE 24 English 24\/7 here: https:\/\/f24.my\/YTliveEN<\/p>\n<p>\ud83c\udf0d Read the latest International News and Top Stories: https:\/\/www.france24.com\/en\/<\/p>\n<p>Like us on Facebook: https:\/\/f24.my\/FBen<br \/>\nFollow us on X: https:\/\/f24.my\/Xen<br \/>\nBluesky: https:\/\/f24.my\/BSen and Threads: https:\/\/f24.my\/THen<br \/>\nBrowse the news in pictures on Instagram: https:\/\/f24.my\/IGen<br \/>\nDiscover our TikTok videos: https:\/\/f24.my\/TKen<br \/>\nGet the latest top stories on Telegram: https:\/\/f24.my\/TGen<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Saxony-Anhalt poll: &#8216;A huge blow for the CDU, but also a huge win for the AfD&#8217; \u2022 FRANCE&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":89540,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_share_on_mastodon":"0"},"categories":[3],"tags":[57,14,1180,76,5041,50,22,23,61,20,21,2849,62,19850,8325],"class_list":["post-89539","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-france24","tag-brexit","tag-donald-trump","tag-elections","tag-europe","tag-far-right","tag-france","tag-france-24","tag-france-24-english","tag-france-24-guest","tag-france24","tag-france24-english","tag-friedrich-merz","tag-germany","tag-germanys-afd-party","tag-populism"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@videos\/117230481206127010","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/videos\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/89539","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/videos\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/videos\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/videos\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/videos\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=89539"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/videos\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/89539\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/videos\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/89540"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/videos\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=89539"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/videos\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=89539"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/videos\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=89539"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
