Germany’s AfD calls for parties to work with it after Saxony-Anhalt win

Germany’s far‑right Alternative for Germany is close to ruling the eastern state of Saxony‑Anhalt. Preliminary results show the AfD won 43.8% of the vote, giving 39 of 83 seats, just shy of a majority. The party is seeking support from other groups. Beatrix von Storch urged opposition parties to talk, while Chancellor Friedrich Merz called the outcome “shocking.” AfD plans include segregating child refugees and a “remigration” policy to deport migrants without legal status. The state may face a minority government, a new election, or a stalemate.
