AfD’s Historic Win Shakes Germany | Perth News
Description
The AfD just shattered political norms in Germany, winning 44% in Saxony-Anhalt—their biggest victory since the Nazis and potentially their first chance to lead a state government since WWII. They crushed the ruling CDU by 27 points, fueled by populist policies like stopping wind farms and banning rainbow flags in schools. With no outright majority, AfD leader Ulrich Siegmund is scrambling to form a coalition—or risk new elections. The win is a seismic blow to Chancellor Merz’s government, already reeling from public discontent, and signals a bold new phase for the AfD, who now aim for 40% in the next national election.
