Before elections, Germans took to the streets to support democracy and human rights in Saxony-Anhalt

CNN Portugal5 September 2026 at 22:20

Before the regional elections in Saxony-Anhalt, German citizens organized street demonstrations to defend democracy and human rights. These demonstrations arose in a context of political tension in the country.

The AfD (Alternative for Germany) appears as the favorite in the polls for these regional elections. However, the article raises the question that, even if the AfD led the results, there would always be doubt about the ability to form a government without achieving a majority.

The party faces difficulties in finding allies willing to form a coalition, due to its political positioning and the controversy it generates among other German political forces.
