AfD is on a roll, poised to win Saxony-Anhalt’s election with 41% support—enough to potentially govern alone, according to co-leader Alice Weidel. As polls show them crushing the Christian Democrats (24%), the party challenges Germany’s “firewall” policy that keeps them out of government, calling it undemocratic and blaming it for their rise. The CDU sees AfD as a threat to democracy and core values, but the political standoff could reshape national politics. With AfD also leading nationally and pushing for tighter immigration and border controls, this election in Saxony-Anhalt may be just the first step in a bigger shift—followed by votes in Berlin and Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania later this month.
