The Central Council of Jews in Germany expressed dismay at the victory of the far-right party Alternative for Germany (AfD) in the regional elections held in Saxony-Anhalt this Sunday. The Jewish institution publicly expressed its concern regarding the electoral result which it considered worrying for the future of the country.
The AfD party managed to win the regional elections in Saxony-Anhalt, consolidating its presence in the German political landscape. This victory represents another milestone in the rise of the far-right in Germany, which has been gaining ground in various regions of the country.
The Central Council of Jews warned about the implications of this victory, demonstrating unease regarding the strengthening of a party that has been associated with extremist and anti-immigration positions. This is not the first time the institution has expressed concern about the growth of AfD in German elections.
