Germany. AfD achieves historic victory in Saxony-Anhalt

RTP Notícias7 September 2026 at 21:30

In Germany, the far-right party Alternative for Germany (AfD) achieved a historic victory in the regional elections of the state of Saxony-Anhalt. This victory represents a significant milestone for the party, which has been gaining ground in German politics.

The voters of Saxony-Anhalt gave a clear mandate to the far-right to govern the state. However, despite the expressive victory, the AfD failed to obtain an absolute majority in the elections, which means it will not be able to govern alone.

This victory in Saxony-Anhalt is part of a broader trend of far-right growth in Germany. The result reflects the significant support that the AfD has managed to gather among the German electorate, particularly in eastern regions of the country.

Government says it did not receive alerts to stop digital marking of exams

The Ministry of Education guarantees that it did not receive technical alerts recommending stopping the digital marking of national exams in 2026, despite problems identified in the first implementation phase, such as file integrity failures, incorrect sheet associations and parameterization errors affecting more than 21,000 grades. The Government acknowledges that the constraints generated anxiety among students and families, but emphasizes that the second phase proceeded without significant problems, with the number of error reports dropping from 90,479 to 5,110. Following questions raised by the PS (Socialist Party), which threatened to proceed with a parliamentary inquiry committee, the Executive requested an independent and comprehensive evaluation of the external assessment model from the National Education Council, whose final report should be delivered by December 31, 2026.
