US President Donald Trump welcomed the victory of the far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) in the state elections in Saxony-Anhalt. The party won 43.8 percent of the vote with voter turnout at 78 percent. hnonline.sk ↗
Trump linked the result to opposition among part of the German public to the government's migration policy. He said, addressing AfD, that residents, in his view, would no longer tolerate Germany's current course. His statements drew criticism from German political parties. seznamzpravy.cz ↗
German Chancellor Friedrich Merz cancelled a planned phone call with Trump. The chancellor was scheduled to speak with the American president on Wednesday, but the call ultimately did not take place following Trump's public reaction to AfD's success.
The Social Democratic Party described Trump's congratulations as extremely troubling and called on Merz to give the American president a clear response. SPD lawmaker Steffen Wiese stated that interference in German politics is not acceptable.
AfD is also facing a refusal of cooperation from several political entities in Saxony-Anhalt. The state SPD leadership announced that there are fundamental political and value-based disagreements between the Social Democrats and AfD. The Greens expressed similar views.
Trump's reaction thus deepened the dispute between Washington and Berlin, while also raising the question of the extent to which the American president will support European right-wing parties ahead of upcoming elections. denikn.cz ↗
