The far-right party Alternative for Germany (AfD) achieved a crushing victory in regional elections in the German state of Saxony-Anhalt, consolidating the advance of the radical right in the country. The result represents a significant milestone in German politics.

The topic was addressed on the Expresso da Manhã program, where presenter Paulo Baldaia spoke with Pedro Cordeiro, International Editor at Expresso, to analyze the implications of this electoral result and the German political context.

Pedro Cordeiro's commentary as International Editor at Expresso offers expert analysis on how this trend may influence not only German domestic politics but also the European political landscape.
