The far-right Alternative für Deutschland (AfD) party is gaining popularity in Saxony-Anhalt, potentially winning a majority in upcoming elections. Their new government program, described as radical and pro-ethnic German, includes strict immigration policies and support for large German families. The party's candidate, Ulrich Siegmund, claims this election could signal a political turnaround in Germany. Critics, including Eva von Angern from the Linke Party, warn that the AfD's plans threaten democracy and fundamental rights. The manifesto also promotes pro-Russian policies and aims to reverse current migration policies.
