Following the AfD's election win in Saxony-Anhalt, the EU is openly discussing freezing the state's funding, amounting to €2.95 billion in the current budget period, due to potential rule-of-law violations. The EU has previously frozen funds for Hungary and Poland with similar outcomes. Green MEP Daniel Freund suggests the same mechanism could apply to Saxony-Anhalt if an AfD-led government undermines EU fundamental rights. Chancellor Merz asserts that the federal government can enforce the constitution in any state if needed.
