Germany's Far-Right AfD Gains Ground Amid Political and International Attention
Germany's far-right party, Alternative for Germany (AfD), has made significant electoral gains, notably securing its first regional assembly speaker position in Saxony-Anhalt amid suspicions of mainstream lawmakers defying party orders. Chancellor Friedrich Merz warned of extremism entering parliament as the AfD aims for the 2029 national election. This rise has drawn international attention, including from India, which is monitoring Germany's political shifts amid growing bilateral defense and technology cooperation.
