  "account": "The far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) party triumphed in the recent elections in the eastern region of Saxony-Anhalt, according to exit polls, securing between 44% and 44.5% of the votes. This places AfD at the threshold of a majority government and the first time a far-right party has been elected to a regional government in Central Europe. Exit polls from the Institute Infratest dimap and the public broadcasters ARD and ZDF indicated AfD had obtained 44% to 44.5% of the vote. The far-right party narrowly surpassed the Christian Democratic Union (CDU) led by regional premier Sven Schulze, who received 18.5% of the vote, according to both polls. The Left party came in third, with between 9% and 9.5% of the vote, followed by the Greens with 8.5% according to the polls. The pro-business German People's Party (FDP) that once formed part of Schulze's coalition government with the Social Democrats (SPD) did not surpass the 5% mark while the pro-immigrant Alliance 90/The Greens (BSW) came very close, between 4.8% and 5%. The Social Democrats obtained between 8.2% and 9% of the vote. The entry of BSW into the regional parliament could be key, as AfD could govern with an outright majority with as few as 43 deputies out of 83, according to Infratest dimap data. Turnout was a record high, reaching 76.5%. So far, the highest turnout in Saxony-Anhalt regional elections was in 1998, eight years after German reunification, when 71.5% of eligible voters turned out.",
  "summary": "El partido ultraderechista Alternativa para Alemania (AfD) ganó este domingo las elecciones en la región oriental de Sajonia-Anhalt, al conseguir un 44% de los votos, según los sondeos a pie de urna, porcentajes que le sitúan a las puertas de la mayoría absoluta y del primer acceso a un gobierno regional de una formación de ultraderecha en el país centroeuropeo.
