AfD victory: MAGA movement celebrates, Poland grows worried

The AfD's victory in Saxony-Anhalt has triggered sharply different reactions beyond Germany. The MAGA movement is celebrating, while Poland is concerned about what the result could mean.

Many of the AfD's right-wing sister parties have welcomed the outcome. Liberals and leftists, by contrast, are alarmed by the success of a party that has become a major force in German politics.

Russia is also watching the result closely and sees a possible change in direction. The reactions show how the election outcome is being read beyond the state itself, as a signal with wider political consequences.
