Heading to the polls: elections in Saxony-Anhalt could mark a historic advance for the German far-right

SIC Notícias6 September 2026 at 10:05

The elections in the federal state of Saxony-Anhalt, Germany, could represent a historic milestone in German politics. Polls indicate that the far-right could win these regional elections, which would be the first time since 1945 that a far-right party would be in a position to claim the government of a German federal state.

The article states that far-right parties in Germany have been gaining ground in recent years, and these elections are seen as an important indicator of the strength of these parties at the national level.

The result of this vote in Saxony-Anhalt will be closely watched, both in Germany and internationally, due to its symbolic and political significance.

This advance of the far-right represents a significant shift in the German political landscape, which for decades kept extremist parties away from executive power at the regional level.

Apple and Google Comply with Donald Trump's Request and Change Lake Ontario to Lake America

Apple and Google altered the name of Lake Ontario to "Lake America" on their digital maps, at the request of President Donald Trump, but only for users in the United States, while users in Canada continue to see the original name. The change was made following an executive order signed by Trump on August 27, which came in the context of the trade dispute between the United States and Canada, which led to the imposition of mutual high tariffs. The executive order argues that the United States is the main protector of the Great Lakes, investing nearly four billion dollars in the last decade in protecting the ecosystem. Google Maps confirmed that it will follow the practice of using names from the United States Geographic Names Information System, while other services such as MapQuest refused to make the change. Apple and Google had previously also changed the name of the Gulf of Mexico to Gulf of America.
