Avsnitt Catherine Field: Europe Correspondent on Germany's far-right AfD party winning the Saxony-Anhalt election The Mike Hosking Breakfast Spela Dela
Security is a key concern for Germany's government as a far-right party seeks to gain control of a state for the first time since World War II. Preliminary election results in Saxony-Anhalt show the AfD party is three seats short of an outright majority. The party is assessed by domestic intelligence as "far-right extremist", a classification the party rejects. Europe Correspondent Catherine Field told Mike Hosking if in government, the AfD would have control of security. She says the party —which is very pro-Russian— would be privy to all the information federal authorities have on Russia. LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
