AfD: Greens are worried about cooperation with partner intelligence services due to AfD's election success

Konstantin von Notz, deputy leader of the Greens parliamentary group, has expressed concerns about the future cooperation between German security authorities and foreign intelligence services following the election results in Saxony-Anhalt. The far-right AfD party emerged as the strongest party, winning 43.8% of the vote, while the CDU suffered a significant loss, dropping to 17.2%.

Von Notz warned that a potential AfD-led government could pose a risk to the country's security and democracy, citing the example of Austria's experience with the far-right FPÖ party.
