After the Alternative for Germany's (AfD) victory in Saxony-Anhalt, debate continues over the consequences of the election result for the functioning of state politics. The party won approximately 44 percent of the vote and became the strongest political force in the newly elected state parliament. domov.sme.sk ↗
A new organizational situation will also come into play at the first session of parliament. Eva von Angern of the Left, as the oldest member of parliament, will open the constituent session of the Landtag. At the same time, the incumbent state premier Reiner Haseloff stepped down from the chairmanship of the conference of state premiers, since the election result complicates the formation of a new government. domov.sme.sk ↗
Other parties are discussing how to proceed with regard to the AfD. Ulf Kämpfer, the SPD chairman in Schleswig-Holstein, questioned the chances of success of any potential proceedings aimed at banning the party. Hesse's state premier Boris Rhein, meanwhile, expressed skepticism about considerations of reviewing the AfD at the level of the Federal Constitutional Court. According to him, the debate is also linked to the dispute over the so-called political firewall, which was meant to isolate the AfD from cooperation with other parties.
The federal government's commissioner for eastern Germany, Elisabeth Kaiser, warned of possible economic consequences of the AfD's election success. Representatives of the cultural community also expressed concerns, warning of the impact that demands for a "patriotic cultural policy" could have on freedom and diversity. The Catholic Church continues to refuse cooperation with the AfD and fears possible measures directed against the church.
