The Alternative for Germany (AfD), a far-right party, is very close to conquering its first regional government in Germany. Recent polls indicate that the party obtained 40% of the votes in the regional elections held in Saxony-Anhalt.
This result represents a historic milestone for the party, which until now had not managed to take control of any regional government in the country. The AfD has been growing consistently in German polls in recent years.
The advance of the far-right in Germany has worried traditional political forces and analysts, who warn about the implications of this trend in the country's political scenario.
