German Chancellor Friedrich Merz has warned of potential problems in Saxony-Anhalt under the Alternative for Germany (AfD) party's rule. Merz stated that should the AfD win the upcoming election, international investors would be hesitant to invest in the state. The AfD currently holds a significant lead in polls, with 40% of support, compared to Merz's conservative Christian Democratic Union (CDU) and other parties.
Merz emphasized that any German response to Russian hybrid threats would be coordinated with allies, with no expectation of surprise from EU and NATO partners.
