The far-right party Alternative for Germany (AfD) achieved a crushing victory in the German state of Saxony-Anhalt. This electoral result represents a significant milestone for the party in the German political landscape.

The broadcast of the Expresso da Manhã program dedicated a segment to this issue, presented by Paulo Baldaia. The guest to analyze the developments was Pedro Cordeiro, editor of International at Expresso.

The AfD's victory in Saxony-Anhalt comes at a time of rise of far-right parties in several European countries, a theme that has been followed with particular attention by the Expresso newspaper.

Pedro Cordeiro's analysis sought to contextualize the significance of this victory in the broader context of German and European politics.
