An eastern German region was voting Sunday in an election that could bring to power the first far-right state government in the nation’s post-World War II history.
The vote for the state legislature in Saxony-Anhalt, a region of 2.1 million people west of Berlin, has gained outsized prominence because it represents the best chance yet of a governor’s post for the far-right, anti-migration Alternative for Germany, or AfD.
That would be the biggest prize in the party’s 13-year history, at a time of widespread discontent with an unpopular national government that has yet to persuade voters it can get the country’s sluggish economy moving. It would be at least a symbolic blow to Chancellor Friedrich Merz, whose center-right party has led Saxony-Anhalt for 24 years.
That’s a lot of words to justify voting for a party whose chairwoman is literal nazi time praising, grand daughter of nazi finance minister.
“Nobody represented us so now we will vote in nazi” is not as coherent as you might think.
Die linke was literally compaigning for social programs for those “low income people without representation” and afd still got almost 20% in BW state election with their usual racist bullshit.
Its about time germany realizes that it never got rid of its racism problem after nazism and “lets gather all jews and send them to middle east with weapons” wasn’t the right solution.
I’m not voting for them.
I’m literally Cassandra telling you the truth as to why it happens.
