The German far-right party Alternative for Germany (AfD) achieved a crushing victory this Sunday in the regional elections in the state of Saxony-Anhalt, Germany. According to electoral forecasts, AfD secured 44% of the votes, a result significantly above expectations.

The Christian Democratic Union (CDU) party, which currently leads the government in the state of Saxony-Anhalt, obtained only 18% of the votes, falling far behind AfD. This expressive difference of 26 percentage points represents a clear defeat for the conservative party.

Regional elections in Germany are important for measuring the political climate in the country and reflect national trends. The strong result of AfD in Saxony-Anhalt highlights the continuous growth of the far-right party in German politics.
