The Central Council of Jews in Germany expressed distress at the victory of the far-right party Alternative for Germany (AfD) in the regional elections in the federal state of Saxony-Anhalt. The president of this body, Josef Schuster, made this statement today.
The Alternative for Germany achieved a significant victory in the regional elections of Saxony-Anhalt, a German federal state, which generated strong concern among the Jewish community in the country.
Josef Schuster, as president of the Central Council of Jews in Germany, represented the position of this Jewish organization by expressing his distress at the electoral results that favored a party with extremist orientation.
This result comes in a broader context of concern over the growth of far-right parties in Germany, with the Jewish community expressing its discomfort at the possibility of a party with these characteristics strengthening its political power through electoral victories.
