Holger Zschaepitz(@Schuldensuehner):Good Morning from Germany, where the political landscape in the East has been turned upside down: the far-right AfD (whose Saxony-Anhalt branch is officially classified as extremist by domestic intelligence) more than doubled its vote share to 43.8% from 20.8% in 2021, while the CDU collapsed to 17.2% from 37.1%. The AfD fell 3 seats short of an outright majority. Now the options range from BSW tolerating an AfD minority govt, to AfD winning over individual MPs, to an unwieldy 5-party anti-AfD alliance. In a later ballot, even a simple majority could be enough to elect an AfD premier.
