Germany’s far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) party is on track to secure its first-ever majority in a regional state government, marking a historic shift in the country’s political landscape. The projected victory in one of Germany’s 16 federal states would solidify the party’s growing influence beyond its traditional strongholds. Analysts warn the outcome could reshape national debates on immigration, EU policy, and domestic security. The result follows years of rising support for populist and nationalist movements across Europe.
Germany’s far-right AfD is projected to take power in one of the country’s 16 states for the first time.
