Alarm signal for democracies

Alternativa para Alemania (AfD) won a landslide victory in the eastern German state of Saxony-Anhalt, securing 43.8% of votes and 39 seats in the regional parliament. This is more than double the party's previous result and leaves it close to an absolute majority. If AfD gains support from the left-wing anti-immigration group Bündnis Sahra Wagenknecht, it would become the first party with roots in German ethnic nationalism to lead a state government since 1945.
