要点
- AfD's potential to form a government is on the agenda in the Sachsen-Anhalt state elections.
- The election shows the deepening of the East-West polarization in Germany.
- It is emphasized that the liberal democratic consensus is eroding and a new political era is beginning.
- Impacts on federal politics and coalition negotiations are of critical importance.
In the state parliament elections held in the state of Sachsen-Anhalt, the right-wing populist AfD delivered a strong performance, bringing the possibility of forming a government. During the election campaign, the polarization between 'Ossi' (East Germans) and 'Wessi' (West Germans) was brought to the agenda. This reveals the deepening of the East-West divide even 30 years after German reunification.
Authors and observers emphasize that a possible government participation by the AfD is not just a state matter, but a turning point for all of Germany. It is stated that the post-war consensus based on liberal democratic values is eroding and a new political era is beginning. This development once again highlights the breaking points in Germany's domestic politics.
Post-election coalition processes and the federal government's reaction will be critical factors determining Germany's political course in the coming months. It is controversial whether the center-right CDU will cooperate with the AfD. The 'brandmauer' (firewall) policy at the federal level is expected to be tested.
