"The Germans are opening their eyes": André Ventura congratulates AfD on victory in Saxony-Anhalt

SIC Notícias6 September 2026 at 20:03

Alternative for Germany (AfD) won this Sunday's elections in the federal state of Saxony-Anhalt, Germany. The far-right party achieved a significant victory in what was considered an important test for German politics.

The leader of the Portuguese party Chega, André Ventura, reacted to the victory on social media, congratulating the AfD and classifying the result as a "historic victory" for the German far-right party.

Ventura commented that "the Germans are opening their eyes," in reference to the shift in voting behavior among German citizens. The Portuguese politician has maintained closeness with the AfD and other far-right parties across Europe.

The AfD's victory in Saxony-Anhalt represents another milestone in the growing influence of far-right parties in German and European politics, in a context of rising populism and contestation against the traditional political class.
