Un deputat al partidului de extremă dreapta AfD, ales preşedinte al parlamentului din landul german Saxonia-Anhalt

A member of the Alternative for Germany (AfD) party, Tobias Rausch, has been elected president of the Saxony-Anhalt parliament, marking a historic first for the far-right party. Rausch received a comfortable majority in the newly formed parliament in Magdeburg, following the AfD's significant victory in the recent elections. This election is seen as a major boost for Ulrich Sigmund, the AfD's lead candidate aiming for the regional government leadership. Despite opposition from four other parties, the AfD and a smaller party, BSW, together hold a majority in the parliament. Rausch's election has sparked protests outside the parliament, highlighting the contentious political climate.
