- The nationalist-conservative Alternative for Germany has become impossible to ignore ahead of Sunday’s election in Saxony-Anhalt.
- Its growing importance is expected to increase pressure on the already weakened Friedrich Merz.
- The result could have significant consequences for Ukraine and the rest of Europe.
Even before Sunday’s election in Saxony-Anhalt, one conclusion has already emerged: Germany’s nationalist-conservative Alternative for Germany can no longer be ignored.
The party’s growing importance will put further pressure on Friedrich Merz, who is already politically weakened. The analysis frames the election as a test that reaches beyond the state itself.
It also warns that the outcome could carry serious consequences for Ukraine and for Europe as a whole. The party’s opponents accuse its favorite among voters of “selling garbage”, but that attack may only make his path easier.
