Some migrants ready to pack bags fearing far-right win in east German state
As a far-right regional election victory looms in an ex-communist eastern German state, many migrants are readying to pack their bags, fearful of the AfD party's threatened "deportation and remigration offensive".
In the eastern German state of Saxony-Anhalt, preparations are underway for a potential far-right political victory. The Alternative for Germany (AfD) party, known for its anti-immigrant stance and ties to Russia, is on track to achieve a historic win in their regional elections. This outcome has prompted many migrants in the region to contemplate leaving, fearing the consequences of the AfD's proposed "deportation and remigration offensive."
The AfD's policy, known as remigration, is an extreme program aimed at mass deportation of non-white populations back to their ancestral countries, effectively engaging in ethnic cleansing. The election, just a week away, could mark the AfD's first time securing a governing majority, posing a significant threat to the already fragile peace and integration efforts in Saxony-Anhalt.
