🚨🇩🇪 The AfD is sitting at 41% in Sachsen-Anhalt, on the doorstep of an absolute majority ahead of state elections this September... The numbers are extraordinary. AfD at 41%. CDU at 26%. Die Linke at 12%. SPD collapsing to 7%. Greens and BSW both stuck at 4%, below the 5% threshold required to enter parliament. If the SPD also drops below 5% on election day, AfD would only need around 39% to govern outright. This is not a fringe phenomenon anymore. Sachsen-Anhalt is mainstream German politics, and the population is signaling clearly that it wants something completely different from what Berlin has been offering. Migration, the war in Ukraine, energy costs, and the economic spillover from the Iran war have done what years of debate could not. They have collapsed the traditional center. The German establishment has spent years labeling AfD voters as fringe, far right, beyond the pale. The voters answered by handing them the largest party result in a state poll since reunification.
