Germany's far-right AfD party wins first state election, exit polls show

ai generated text

The Alternative for Germany (AfD) party has secured a significant victory in the regional elections held in Thuringia and Saxony, with 32.8% of the vote in Thuringia and 30.6% in Saxony. This marks the first time a far-right party has won a state election in Germany since the Nazi era. The AfD's success is seen as a reflection of the growing fragmentation of the political landscape and the rise of anti-establishment parties across Europe.

    1. We have, in Thuringia, a clear lead ... so we also have a clear mandate to govern.
  2. DE
    Björn Höcke
    Alternative for Germany
    1. These stupid politics of coming to grips with the past cripple us — we need nothing other than a 180-degree reversal on the politics of remembrance.
    2. Whoever wants stability in Thuringia has to integrate the AfD.
    3. How long can the CDU leadership keep up their policy of going against their base?
    4. We are the number one people's party in Thuringia.
    5. We need change and change will only come with the AfD.
  3. DE
    Alice Weidel
    Alternative for Germany
    1. We want to wait and see how the CDU will behave over time.
    2. Some of the reasons why people vote for the AfD is, indeed, because they are dissatisfied with the national coalition. But what the numbers also show is that for people in these states migration and security are the most important issues, and they see the AfD as the most competent party to solve these issues.
    3. The immediate expulsion of all illegal immigrants from our country. All criminals, all extremists must leave.
    4. Instead of racking our brains over the various models of knife bans, we must finally tackle the problem at its roots. Migration change immediately.
    5. This is an even stronger result than in the last elections and, accordingly, we will of course emerge stronger from the elections.
    6. It is a rejection of this coalition and they should ask themselves whether they can continue to govern at all. The question should be raised for new elections. Because it can't go on like this.

    Sahra Wagenknecht
    Bündnis Sahra Wagenknecht
    1. We very much hope that we can eventually get a good government with the CDU — probably also with the [center-left] SPD.
  5. DE
    Michael Kretschmer
    Christian Democratic Union
    1. We would not be forming a coalition with Mrs. Wagenknecht, but rather with people elected to Saxony's state parliament.
  6. DE
    Kai Wegner
    Christian Democratic Union
    1. This is a wake-up call that we must not ignore, maybe the last one we get.
  7. DE
    Friedrich Merz
    Christian Democratic Union
    1. For me, being state premier is the finest office, but I would not shy away from taking responsibility for the country.
    2. This is a cadre party of one person, who spoke extensively on foreign policy in both these state elections.
  8. DE
    Carsten Linnemann
    Christian Democratic Union
    1. Voters know that we do not form coalitions with the AfD.
    2. Voters in both states knew that we wouldn't form a coalition with AfD, and it will stay that way — we are very, very clear on this.
