“Germany’s Most Dangerous Man”: Who Is Ulrich Siegmund?

One election night transformed Ulrich Siegmund from a regional political figure into a national star of Germany’s Alternative for Germany, or AfD, according to Delfi.

The 35-year-old leads the nationalist party in Saxony-Anhalt, where the AfD has won the state election. The result has drawn attention far beyond the eastern German state, with international focus now turning to the politician who led the party locally.

Delfi frames the outcome as a historic turning point for the AfD. Its headline asks who Siegmund is, calling him “Germany’s Most Dangerous Man” and placing the newly prominent politician at the center of the post-election story.
