Far-Right AfD Gains Leading Role in Saxony-Anhalt Assembly Amid Migrant Concerns
The far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) party achieved its best regional election result in Saxony-Anhalt, positioning it to lead the state assembly for the first time since World War II. This outcome has raised concerns among migrants like Ola Akhras, who feel increasingly unwelcome amid rising anti-immigrant sentiment. While AfD narrowly missed an absolute majority, it is expected to elect the assembly speaker with support from a smaller party. Other parties and activists have expressed alarm over the AfD's growing influence in the region.
