Șefa AfD întinde o mână rivalilor

Alice Weidel, leader of AfD, hailed the party's performance in Saxony-Anhalt as historic, claiming a mandate to form a government. AfD secured 44.5% of the votes, a significant increase from 20.8% in 2021, while CDU dropped to 18.5%. Weidel expressed openness to negotiations despite other parties rejecting coalition talks with AfD. Ulrich Siegmund, AfD's candidate for premier, emphasized the need for political change but acknowledged the challenge of forming a government due to potential coalition difficulties. The regional AfD branch is classified as extremist by the domestic intelligence service, complicating its political standing. CDU officials reiterated their refusal to collaborate with AfD, labeling them as extremists.
