Germany’s AfD wins in key state: Is far-right on cusp of national rule?

For the first time since World War II, a far-right party, the AfD, is poised to gain power at the state level in Germany, winning 44% of the vote in Saxony-Anhalt. Although the AfD did not achieve an overall majority, its leader, Ulrich Siegmund, called for cooperation with other political groups. However, forming a government may prove challenging due to the AfD being classified as 'far-right extremist' by intelligence agencies and the wariness of other parties.
