Merz rejects cooperation with AfD, party seeks partners in Saxony-Anhalt
Videos
The AfD won 43.8 percent of the vote in the state elections but did not achieve an absolute majority. It therefore needs a partner to form a government and has begun exploratory talks in Magdeburg. However, both the Social Democrats and the Greens have rejected such talks. The Greens called the idea of negotiations with the AfD absurd, given that the party is classified as right-wing extremist in Saxony-Anhalt.
According to German media, the chairman of the AfD's state organization, Ulrich Siegmund, is being cautious ahead of a possible takeover of government power. At the same time, tension is emerging between him and the party's federal leadership headed by Alice Weidel and Tino Chrupalla. Welt ↗
CDU deputy chairman and Minister-President of North Rhine-Westphalia Hendrik Wüst proposed setting up a working group of representatives from all federal states and the federal government. It is meant to examine constitutional options for dealing with the AfD, though according to Wüst, such a review need not automatically lead to a proposal to ban the party. STVR (Minúta po minúte) ↗
The AfD's victory triggered protests, including a rally at the Brandenburg Gate in Berlin. US President Donald Trump, by contrast, welcomed the party's success and described it as a rising force. Further developments will depend on the post-election negotiations and the stance of potential coalition partners. info.cz ↗
