AfD Wins Big in German Regional Election, Falls Short of Outright Majority The far right Alternative for Germany (AfD) has made significant strides in the regional election in Saxony Anhalt, securing 39 lawmakers and nearly half of the vote.
While it fell short of an absolute majority, this result marks a turning point in German politics, with profound implications for the country's trajectory.
Historically, modern Germany has remained immune to the far right fever that has swept across much of Europe.
