German chancellor "deeply shocked" by far-right victory

SIC Notícias7 September 2026 at 13:26

The German chancellor expressed being "deeply shocked" by the far-right victory in the regional elections in Saxony-Anhalt. This result is acknowledged as having consequences for the entire country, according to the chancellor's statements.

The Alternative for Germany party (AfD) achieved 43.8% of the vote in this regional ballot. This result places the party just three seats short of an absolute majority in the regional parliament.

The strong performance of the AfD in this regional election raises significant concerns about the growing influence of the far-right in German politics, at a time when the federal government faces increased political challenges.
