The German far-right party Alternative for Germany (AfD) achieved a clear victory in the Saxony-Anhalt regional elections, winning almost 44% of the votes, a result far above the second-place finisher, which obtained only 17%. This result left both the other German parties and the citizens themselves alarmed.
On the Monday following the elections, thousands of Germans protested against the AfD's victory near the Brandenburg Gate, in Berlin. Under the slogan "Stop the AfD", the demonstration gathered around 14 thousand people, according to the organizers, demonstrating the discomfort of part of the population with the advance of the far-right party.
The article also mentions that the Portuguese party Chega is described as a "child" compared to the AfD, suggesting that the German party is further along in its political trajectory. The AfD is described as being "on Hitler's course," indicating the party's extremist positioning.
