Saxony-Anhalt: AfD "extends a hand" seeking support (and even defections) to be able to govern

The AfD celebrated a historic victory in the regional elections in Saxony-Anhalt, Germany, considering that the blockade by traditional parties against an alliance with the party does not meet the wishes of voters. The far-right party is trying to find support and even defections from other parties to be able to form a government. The AfD's campaign focused on presenting itself as an alternative to the established parties, which have refused any kind of cooperation with the party. The electoral results allowed the AfD to obtain a significant result that gave it room to try negotiating external support. The party argues that the refusal of traditional parties to ally with the AfD goes against the will expressed by voters at the polls.
