The far right is close to winning a state election for the first time since the second world war. A different economic approach is needed to combat it
The early autumn has become a time of foreboding and angst in German politics. In the eastern states that have become strongholds for the far-right Alternative für Deutschland (AfD) party, it has regularly made headline-grabbing advances in September elections. Only the refusal of mainstream politicians to form coalitions with one of Europe’s most extreme movements has kept it out of power.
This year, the lights are flashing red. Next weekend, when voters in Saxony-Anhalt cast their ballots, the signs are that the traditional firewall may not be enough. In polling, the AfD is currently scoring above 40% in the state, which could win it enough seats to govern on its own. Compared with the last election in 2021, its support has doubled; backing for the closest challenger, the centre-right Christian Democratic Union (CDU), has tumbled by almost 15%.

«Интеграция с телефонией» — фраза, за которой может стоять что угодно. От «раз в сутки подтягиваем список звонков» до «менеджер разговаривает с клиентом во вкладке браузера, а карточка клиента открылась сама, ещё до того как он сказал „алло“».
Мы делаем FARA CRM и прошли этот путь целиком: сначала перенесли рабочий модуль Asterisk, потом привели к одному контракту облачные АТС, потом сделали трубку прямо в браузере — а под конец обнаружили, что без собственного TURN-релея половина этой красоты «то соединяется, то нет». И добавили релей в поставку.
Cute, egoless canines offer a break from a world that feels dominated by ‘nepo babies’ and ‘Maga lady aesthetic’
