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
x/magdalena-andersson
— 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 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.

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.
