The European Union’s “militant democracy” has sprung into action after Alternative for Germany (AfD) won the Länder election in Saxony-Anhalt — and it has reacted with the violent irrationality of any extremist who senses power slipping away.

@AfD just showed what happens when people stop listening to Berlin and Brussels. 44.5% in Saxony-Anhalt. That’s not a protest anymore — that’s a mandate. Historic win. Congratulations to @UlrichSiegmund and @AfDFraktionLSA. Europe is waking up. 🇨🇿🤝🇩🇪 #AfD #SaxonyAnhalt #EuropeWakingUp #CZ #DE
Quick interview with the right wing AfD‘s Ulrich Siegmund after they seem far ahead in the polls in Saxony - Anhalt. He says he wants to be governor. Also told me he wants to improve ties with Russia. AfD brass have told me they see today‘s result as a stepping stone to winning https://t.co/v8ppGtAfzm #AfD #SaxonyAnhalt #UlrichSiegmund #DE #RU
The far-right AfD is projected to win 44% in Saxony-Anhalt, more than doubling its 2021 result. The governing CDU collapses from 37.1% to just 18.5%. The AfD is now within reach of an outright majority in the state parliament. They're drinking champagne in the Kremlin. https://t.co/2BUjSN98nr #AfD #SaxonyAnhalt #Elections2023 #DE #RU
Record voter turnout in Saxony Anhalt’s election. According to polls, a far right extremist party could take power for the first time since the Nazi era in a German state. Let’s hope many of those who went out to vote did so to stop this dystopian outcome. https://t.co/nLSu9Gr4VB #SaxonyAnhalt #VoterTurnout #FarRight #DE
🇩🇪 Saxony-Anhalt's state election will have a nationwide impact - DW https://t.co/LyuM51T5cM https://t.co/Kj0VuT1ZaT #SaxonyAnhalt #StateElection #Germany
Tomorrow, Saxony-Anhalt votes. For the first time since the Nazi era a far-right party could take power in a German state. How did we get here? Economic insecurity, and a sense of futurelessness are key. 🧵 https://t.co/xILgcX32l1 #SaxonyAnhalt #FarRight #PoliticsGermany #DE
An amazing video of an AfD leader in Saxony-Anhalt (where the far-right party is leading the polls) trying to explain how come he owns a Russian Army mug and then casually admitting that, while “it is not our war,” he favors the Russian military over the Ukrainian one. #AfD #SaxonyAnhalt #RussiaUkraineWar #RU #UA #DE
PUTIN WILL NEVER GET SAXONY-ANHALT BACK. 🇩🇪🇪🇺🇺🇦 Eastern Germany knows what Moscow’s domination meant. It must never return — not militarily, not politically, not through dependence, fear or appeasement. Putin wants a weaker Germany. He wants a divided Europe. He wants NATO https://t.co/yTio1P4Wbr #SaxonyAnhalt #StopPutin #UnitedEurope #DE #EU #UA
42% für die AfD in Sachsen-Anhalt! Die SPD bewegt sich rasant in Richtung 5%-Hürde, doch selbst nach jetzigem Stand hätte ein Verliererbündnis aus CDU, Linken und SPD nur noch 1 Prozentpunkt Vorsprung vor der AfD. In Sachsen-Anhalt wird die politische Wende beginnen! https://t.co/1I2h9PwxJ1 #AfD #SaxonyAnhalt #Politics #DE
Die neue INSA-Umfrage von heute für Sachsen-Anhalt sprengt alles... AfD: 42% CDU: 24% SPD: 6% Linke: 13% Grüne: 4% BSW: 4% Ist euch klar, dass wenn die AfD nur noch 1% zulegt, eine Mehrheit ohne AfD nicht möglich ist? #SaxonyAnhalt #AfD #ElectionPolls #DE

Unbelievable! Sven Schulze, CDU Minister-President of Saxony-Anhalt, just now: The election in Saxony-Anhalt must not be a reprimand for the CDU's politics at the federal level! It must not? Do voters have to ask for permission first? (Original: Unfassbar! Sven Schulze, CDU-Ministerpräsident von Sachsen-Anhalt, eben gerade: Die Wahl in Sachsen-Anhalt darf kein Denkzettel für die Politik der CDU im Bund werden! Sie darf nicht? Müssen die Wähler erst um Erlaubnis fragen?) #SaxonyAnhalt #CDUPolitics #VoterRights #DE
How can it even be up for debate whether the AfD should be allowed to govern with 41% in Saxony-Anhalt? It's hard to get clearer than the will of the people in this multi-party system. Was the question also asked when the CSU got 40% in Bavaria? (Original: Wie genau kann es eigentlich überhaupt zur Debatte stehen, ob man die AfD mit 41% in Sachsen-Anhalt regieren lassen sollte? Klarer geht ein Volkswille kaum in diesem Mehrparteien-System. Hat man die Frage auch gestellt, als die CSU in Bayern 40% holte?) #Democracy #AfD #SaxonyAnhalt #DE #DE
Just now on the radio (MDR): If there were a state election in Saxony-Anhalt on Sunday, the AfD, classified by the Office for the Protection of the Constitution as a reliably right-wing extremist effort, would receive 41% of the votes! Dude... 41%! Don't you realize that your beloved Office for the Protection of the Constitution doesn't matter to anyone? (Original: Gerade im Rundfunk (MDR): Wäre am Sonntag Landtagswahl in Sachsen-Anhalt, würde die vom Verfassungsschutz als gesichert rechtsextreme Bestrebung eingestufte AfD 41% der Stimmen erhalten! Alter... 41%! Merkt ihr nicht, dass euer geliebter Verfassungsschutz keinen juckt?) #SaxonyAnhalt #AfD #RightWingExtremism #DE
Ministerpräsident Sven Schulze steht vor einer richtungsweisenden Wahl in Sachsen-Anhalt, wo er versucht, seine Wiederwahl gegen die stark aufkommende AfD zu sichern, die in Umfragen deutlich führend ist. #SaxonyAnhaltElection #PoliticalStrategy #AfDChallenge
The new ARD survey for Saxony-Anhalt breaks all records... AfD: 41% SPD: 7% CDU: 26% Left: 12% Greens: 4% BSW: 4% Are you aware that the AfD will govern alone if the SPD also falls to 4.9%? (Original: Die neue ARD-Umfrage für Sachsen-Anhalt sprengt alles... AfD: 41% SPD: 7% CDU: 26% Linke: 12% Grüne: 4% BSW: 4% Ist euch bewusst, dass die AfD alleine regieren wird, wenn die SPD auch noch auf 4,9% fällt?) #SaxonyAnhalt #AfD #ElectionSurvey #DE
From what I hear, a blue landslide is imminent in Saxony-Anhalt, and Ulrich Siegmund is writing values with the AfD there that no politician in recent times has achieved before him. Do you also have the feeling that we will make history in September? (Original: Was ich so höre, steht in Sachsen-Anhalt ein blauer Erdrutsch bevor und Ulrich Siegmund schreibt mit der AfD dort gerade Werte, die noch kein Politiker der jüngeren Zeit vor ihm dort erreicht hat. Habt ihr auch das Gefühl, dass wir im September Geschichte schreiben?) #BlueLandslide #AfD #SaxonyAnhalt #DE
