Germany's AfD wins big in regional election, alarming Europe
A remarkable win was secured by the Alternative for Germany (AfD) party, which opposes immigration, in local elections held in Saxony-Anhalt on Sunday; political analysts described the outcome as "seismic". The landslide puts more pressure on Germany's centrist government and its unpopular Chancellor, Friedrich Merz. The EU fears the AfD's success could lead to more "extreme" parties gaining ground in upcoming elections across Europe.
