AfD wins in Saxony-Anhalt, but fails to secure majority
Videos
Alternative for Germany won state elections in Saxony-Anhalt with 43.8 percent of votes and has the clearly strongest position in the new parliament, but not an absolute majority. AfD co-candidate Ulrich Siegmund announced after the victory that he would begin talks with other factions and individual lawmakers about forming a majority, while also speaking of a mandate to assume government responsibility. hnonline.sk ↗ Die Zeit ↗
The result triggered strong reactions in Germany and abroad. Some politicians and civic organizations are speaking of a warning for democracy, with concerns emerging about cooperation between the federal government and states in the area of security. Universities, memorial institutions and organizations assisting refugees warned that following AfD's victory, scientific freedom, the work of memorial sites and support for people with migration backgrounds could be endangered. At the same time, demonstrations were held in several German cities demanding the initiation of proceedings to ban the party. STVR (Spravy) ↗ hnonline.sk ↗
AfD has an open path to negotiations following the election results, but not simple parliamentary mathematics. While the CDU, despite its defeat, wants to lead talks about forming a government, international reactions show that the vote in Saxony-Anhalt has reach far beyond the borders of the federal state and has become a test for the further development of German politics. irozhlas.cz ↗ respekt.cz ↗
