What we are still watching

  • The fate of Höcke's proposal: does the leadership put forward a revised incompatibility list by summer 2027, or does the request quietly fade?
  • The appeal or precedent in the dispute over the assembly ban (Thuringia's higher administrative court, file 3 EO 283/26).
  • Does Weidel's strengthened position translate into changes in the Bundestag parliamentary group leadership, or a weakening of Chrupalla's internal powers?

What has happened

  • The results of the state elections in Saxony-Anhalt (September 6) and Mecklenburg-Vorpommern (September 20) — does a strengthened Weidel convert internal dominance into an electoral result? Sasko-Anhaltsko (6.9.2026): AfD jasne vyhrala, CDU utrpela porážku, BSW sa dostala do zemského snemu — prvé krajinské voľby, kde AfD dominovala takto výrazne.
