AfD Wins Historic Elections in Two German States
x/friedrich-merz
— Oct 1, 2026
The AfD’s historic victories in Saxony-Anhalt and Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania mark a major breakthrough for Germany’s far right and intensify pressure on the political firewall against cooperation with the party. Despite broader gains across Europe, far-right parties remain divided over Russia, economic policy, Europe’s future and minority rights; one analysis attributes the AfD’s eastern German support more to post-reunification transformation than to a lack of democratic experience.

Sweden’s Center Left Wins Narrow Election Majority

— Sep 11, 2026
Germany’s Saxony-Anhalt election signals a sharp turn toward hard-line migration policies with potential ripple effects for migrants and overseas workers, as the AfD’s gain prompts concerns from immigrant communities. In Sweden, polls point to a razor-thin race with the right-wing bloc narrowing the gap and pursuing tougher asylum rules, a trend underscored by the detention of a Ghanaian asylum seeker and broader reforms since the 2015 crisis.

AfD Leads Saxony-Anhalt Race Ahead September Election
Politics
— Aug 24, 2026
Germany’s far-right AfD, led by Ulrich Siegmund, is surging in Saxony-Anhalt polls ahead of the September 6 election, potentially making the party the first AfD-led state government since World War II. Critics warn that Siegmund’s friendly public persona masks a radical platform with extremist ties and hardline stances on migrants, LGBTQ rights, and climate policy, raising concerns about democracy and Germany’s reckoning with its Nazi past.

AfD Leader Links Arms Plant to Deportation Drive
x/alternative-for-germany
— Sep 11, 2026
Ulrich Siegmund, the AfD’s likely leader in Saxony-Anhalt, floated allowing a weapons producer to operate in the state to fund his party’s planned deportation campaigns, linking arms production to internal security and national defence. The plan involves a potential Elbit Systems facility in Sangerhausen, though officials say it would not produce complete weapons and legal/political obstacles remain amid opposition from other parties.
