AfD enters the elections in Berlin and Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania as a party that has significantly boosted its support. Following the electoral success of this right-wing populist party in Saxony-Anhalt, there is discussion about a possible further gain for the party and its influence on German politics. Tagesspiegel ↗
In Berlin's Marzahn-Hellersdorf district, AfD won a direct mandate to the Bundestag. Its growing support is explained by voter frustration in the eastern part of the city, security concerns, and dissatisfaction with the traditional parties. In the municipality of Lubmin in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania, which was in the past linked to Russian gas supplies, AfD, according to the available description, performed very successfully in the election.

Migrant organizations are warning of right-wing extremist violence following AfD's electoral victory. A significant portion of the German public also considers the concerns of people with an immigrant background to be justified. A survey also showed that 60 percent of Germans share these concerns.

The pre-election period in Berlin was also accompanied by attacks and damage to campaign materials. Since the beginning of August, police have recorded more than 1,200 damaged election posters and 39 attacks on party members and campaign participants. Tagesschau ↗
In Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania, Die Linke is trying to present itself as the party of ordinary people. After three election defeats, it has chosen a strategy aimed at preventing further growth of AfD and appealing to voters dissatisfied with the traditional parties. The election results will show whether it manages to reverse this trend. Welt ↗
