Polymarket shows AfD winning the Saxony-Anhalt election.
German Chancellor Friedrich Merz spent Sunday fearmongering on public broadcaster ARD, warning that a potential victory for Alternative for Germany in next Sunday’s Saxony-Anhalt election could inflict economic damage on the region.
Merz’s fearmongering comes as his approval ratings are the lowest recorded for any postwar German chancellor. Economic troubles have rocked Europe’s largest economy, while voters have grown increasingly frustrated with Berlin.
