By the Numbers
The rise of radical right parties in Germany continues. The Alternative for Germany (AfD) party is expected to achieve a major victory in the state of Saxony-Anhalt. If the AfD party gains a majority in the state, party leader Ulrich Siegmund will become the state premier and the party will have succeeded in gaining a foothold in federal and state governments.
This situation will shake Germany's political system and raise questions about how other parties will deal with the AfD. The AfD party's close ties with Russia are also a cause for concern.
Germany's federal system requires states to cooperate with each other and the federal government. However, if the AfD party comes to power, it is unclear how other parties will approach the situation.
