EXCERPT:
Despite a massive nationwide media and political campaign, the Alternative for Germany (AfD) secured a stunning election victory in the eastern state of Saxony-Anhalt. The right-wing party won 44% of the vote and captured 39 seats in the 83-seat state assembly — leaving it just three seats short of an absolute majority.
With today’s result, the AfD in Saxony-Anhalt could form a government in coalition with the leftist anti-establishment BSW party. A breakaway faction from the far-left Linke party, the BSW secured just over 5%. “One idea being floated is whether there could be informal deal whereby a small party – the BSW – could give their tacit support to allow the AfD to form a minority government,” the BBC noted.
Germany’s ruling Christian Democrats (CDU), who formerly governed the state, came second with a little over 17%. Germany’s Chancellor and CDU chief Friedrich Merz conceded the “most severe election defeat” in “years, or decades,” to quote his own words. “This election result is sending shockwaves,” Merz confessed.
Not just for Chancellor Merz, the outcome is a big setback for Germany’s left-wing establishment. According to the German newspaper Die Welt, the election result showed that the old political establishment is now in “self-destruct” mode. “The political culture of the Berlin Republic is coming to an end. The election outcome, disastrous for the country’s elites, reveals just how detached they have become from reality,” the country’s most-read newspaper commented.
