State election: Jubilation, shock and a disconcerting success: That was the election evening in Saxony-Anhalt
The AfD sees itself in a turning point, the CDU is in shock. The Greens are experiencing a depressing success, the BSW is experiencing satisfaction. Scenes of a historic evening in Magdeburg.
A large crowd has gathered outside a school in Tangermünde, including many supporters of the AfD party and international reporters. AfD's top candidate, Siegmund, arrived at the polling station in his blue Simson, prompting "Uli, Uli" chants from the crowd. He stated that he wants to return national sovereignty to Germany and that the election is about more than just Saxony-Anhalt.
Siegmund also claimed he wants to bridge divides and offered a handshake and a smile to everyone. His supporters cheered and clapped at his words.
