- The election in Saxony-Anhalt is one of several political shocks worrying Berlin.
- The article presents Malta as a small EU state pursuing a risky political course while support for the far right grows in Germany.
Berlin’s politicians have more than Sunday’s election in Saxony-Anhalt to worry about. A quieter shock is coming from the heart of the Mediterranean.
As EU diplomats watch with concern the rising support for the far right in Germany, Malta, the European Union’s smallest country, has pursued its own risky political game for decades.
The article frames Malta as both a tax haven and a port for the Kremlin, placing the island’s long-running course alongside the political uncertainty now unsettling Germany and the wider European Union.
