There are conversations about the moment
The Alternative for Germany (AfD) party won the Thuringia state election and the Saxony state election on Sunday. The Left-Leaning Alternatives for Germany (Sahra Wagenknecht Alliance) came in third in both states. With enough seats in both states, the nationalist Russia-friendly party could block the election of judges and top security officials requiring a two-thirds vote.
The far-right made historic gains during Germany’s regional elections
Germany’s Alternative for Democracy (AfD) won the state elections in Thuringia on Sunday for the first time, according to projections. The party, founded by Sahra Wagenknecht last year, was on track to finish second to the conservatives in a second vote, according to projections. The left-wing Left Party, founded by a former East German leader, lost seats in the state elections.
