According to a media report, the Junge Union Saxony-Anhalt is calling for the resignation of Prime Minister Sven Schulze and the entire CDU state leadership after the vote numbers in the state elections were halved. Former minister Eva Feußner also supports the resignation and warns against collaboration with the Left Party.

The state elections in Saxony-Anhalt raise questions: Can right-wing extremists govern a federal state? Is a coalition between the CDU and the Left possible? What role do the Greens play? The article provides an overview of the central issues of the election on September 6th, 2026.
Luigi Pantisano from the Left attacked AfD leader Tino Chrupalla in an ARD program with the label "biggest flat-nose", whereupon Chrupalla countered that he had paid more taxes than Pantisano had in his entire life. The debate escalated with further accusations of lies and mendacity, while SPD General Secretary Tim Klüssendorf described the mutual insults as unbearable. The term “flat-nose pliers” was also previously used by AfD politicians such as Alice Weidel and Ulrich Siegmund.

In the state elections in Saxony-Anhalt, the SPD is initially at eight to nine percent, roughly the same as the result of the last election. While the AfD is making strong gains and the CDU is losing significantly, the SPD is hardly showing any fluctuations and can be satisfied in view of previous speculation about a possible exit from the state parliament.

The war in Eastern Europe has taken a backseat to Donald Trump as he focuses on his own conflicts, including control of Venezuela, attacks in Iran alongside Netanyahu and a trade war with Canada.

According to projections, the AfD achieved 44 percent in Saxony-Anhalt and celebrated its election victory, while the CDU achieved a historically poor result with less than 18.5 percent and is considering coalition options. The SPD, Left, Greens and BSW also recorded disappointing results, while the FDP narrowly failed to meet the five percent hurdle.
