Germany's Far Right Shift: What This Means for Europe The latest regional election results in Saxony Anhalt have sent shockwaves through German politics, with the far right AfD party poised to make history by securing a majority government.
Exit polls show the party winning 44. 5% of the vote, but it remains uncertain whether they will be able to form a government without support from other parties. The significance of this outcome cannot be overstated.
Germany's post war politics have been characterized by a fragile coalition between centrist and left wing parties, carefully balancing competing interests to keep the hard right out of power.
