The far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) party has secured a landslide victory in the state elections in Saxony-Anhalt, winning over 44% of the votes. This is the party's biggest success ever and has drawn celebration from Europe's populist right and sharp condemnation from Poland's prime minister. The victory has caused shockwaves, with German Chancellor Friedrich Merz calling it an 'earthquake' and raising concerns about the so-called 'firewall' against far-right cooperation. AfD leader Alice Weidel hailed the result as a 'clear mandate to govern', but the party fell short of an absolute majority, opening the door to complex coalition talks.
