An expected victory for the far-right AfD party in Saxony-Anhalt is causing significant anxiety among people with migration backgrounds. These individuals fear a further deterioration of the political climate and increased hostility. The concern arises from the AfD's anti-immigration stance and potentially restrictive policies. Paradoxically, Saxony-Anhalt, like much of Germany, faces demographic challenges due to a low birth rate and would benefit from immigration to support its economy and workforce. This creates a tension between the perceived threat of the AfD and the state’s need for continued immigration. The potential shift in power is prompting worries about increased discrimination and a rollback of integration efforts. Many migrants are feeling increasingly vulnerable ahead of the election.
