The far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) party achieved a significant victory in regional elections in Saxony-Anhalt, securing 43.8% of the vote and becoming the leading party. Despite this success, AfD failed to gain an absolute majority needed for single-party rule, potentially leading mainstream parties to consider coalitions with the far-right. Experts Dr. Canan Tercan and Dr. Cihan Günyel, speaking to Hurriyet.com.tr, warned that the resulting political landscape will directly impact immigrants in Germany, especially the Turkish community. They suggested this outcome could mark the beginning of the end for Germany as it is known. The election results signal a new era in German politics as established parties grapple with the implications of AfD’s growing influence in Saxony-Anhalt. This shift raises concerns about the future direction of the country and the potential for increased restrictions on immigration and minority rights.
