Summary
Germany’s Saxony-Anhalt is heating up as the AfD, labeled “confirmed right-wing extremist” by its own intelligence agency, could win outright in this state election — a shocking turn after polling showed them surging past traditional parties. Once hovering around 20% in 2021, they’re now capitalizing on economic and social discontent, even as foreign-born residents make up just 9% of the population — far below other states. Despite claims that immigrants drain welfare, the data doesn’t support it. Meanwhile, the CDU and SPD are hemorrhaging support, with the SPD perilously close to the 5% threshold that could erase their parliamentary seats — signaling a seismic shift in German politics.
