Far-right wins elections in Saxony-Anhalt

Eco6 September 2026 at 17:40

The far-right party Alternative for Germany (AfD) won this Sunday the elections in the federal state of Saxony-Anhalt, in eastern Germany, by reaching 44.5% of the votes according to projections by public broadcasters ARD and ZDF.

The AfD will be the most voted party, but will still have to wait to see if this result will allow it to govern the former state of the German Democratic Republic (GDR), which would be unprecedented. With this vote, the party should win 39 seats in the regional parliament, with 42 needed to obtain an absolute majority.

The CDU, of conservative Chancellor Friedrich Merz, reached 18.5% of the votes. The party The Left obtained 9.5%, the SPD 8.0% and the Greens 9.0%. The populist left party BSW achieved exactly 5%, which is the minimum threshold to enter the state parliament, while the liberal party FDP is expected to be excluded with only 2.0% of the votes.

'Brazil needs to lower costs and scale up its logistics,' says Maersk president

Ricardo Rocha, president of Maersk in the East Coast of South America, stated that Brazil needs to reduce costs and expand the scale of its logistics infrastructure to become more competitive. The country ranks among the five largest markets of the Danish company in the world, which operates in the sectors of maritime transport, logistics, terminals and cabotage for over a hundred years in Brazil. Despite challenges such as Chinese quotas and the suspension of beef purchases by the European Union, which impacted cargo transport, Maersk projects growth of its activities in the country in 2026. Rocha highlighted that the company's vertical model — in which the ship, the warehouse and the terminal belong to the same organization — facilitates adaptation and growth of operations in the region.
