Germans head to the polls in a pivotal eastern state election where the far-right AfD could shatter political norms—polls show them poised for over 40% support, potentially enabling their first-ever state government. Despite being labeled right-wing extremist by Germany’s intelligence, the AfD’s charismatic young candidate insists they’ll govern alone if no one else will partner with them. This dramatic shift threatens Chancellor Merz’s leadership, as his own party trails nationally, and could embolden anti-immigration and anti-LGBTQ+ policies while raising alarms about possible Russian intelligence leaks. The stakes are high: a historic win here could redefine Germany’s political landscape.
