Germany’s far-right Alternative for Germany, or AfD, has surged in the Saxony-Anhalt election, nearly doubling its previous vote share and coming close to an outright majority. The result has intensified pressure on Chancellor Friedrich Merz and Germany’s mainstream political parties, raising fresh questions about the country’s long-standing political firewall against the far right. Merz described the result as a turning point for Germany, as the AfD’s growing support highlights voter frustration over immigration, the economy, public services and mainstream politics. The outcome could have major implications for Germany’s political future and the wider rise of nationalist parties across Europe.
