AGP Executive Report
Last update: 11 hours agoState Election Shock: Germany’s far-right AfD surged to a record projected 44%+ in Saxony-Anhalt, nearly doubling its vote since 2021, while the CDU collapsed to about 18%—but the party still appeared short of an absolute majority, leaving coalition math and the “firewall” against cooperation unresolved. Government Formation Crunch: AfD leaders declared a “mandate to govern” and floated early federal elections, while mainstream parties reiterated they won’t work with AfD, and BSW signaled it would not back AfD or the CDU, complicating any path to power. Protests & Democracy Debate: After the result, demonstrations in Berlin, Frankfurt and elsewhere called for action up to banning the AfD, as police reported thousands expected for further rallies. Russia Escalation & Security: Separately, Germany moved to counter Russian hybrid threats after the Leipzig airport drone dispute, with plans for expanded drone/cyber protection and new measures against sabotage.
