Abbiamo avuto un chiaro mandato a governare”, ha detto la leader dell’Afd, Alice Weidel. Un risultato che ha provocato reazioni anche in Italia: “Un successo clamoroso, che evidenzia la forte richiesta di cambiamento, sicurezza e lavoro. Alla faccia di chi, a sinistra, alimentava paure e scenari catastrofici”, ha detto il vicepremier Matteo Salvini. “Paura? Terrore? Pericolo? No, si chiama Democrazia. Un'altra Europa è possibile”.

In Saxony-Anhalt around 1.7 million voters voted to renew the regional parliament. According to exit polls, the far-right AfD wins with 44.5% for candidate Ulrich Siegmund, 35, while the outgoing minister-president Sven Schulze of the CDU gets 18.5%. The Greens stand at 9%, Sahra Wagenknecht's BSW at 5%, Linke at 9.5%, the Social Democrats at 8% and the Liberals at 2%. Siegmund stated that the main issue is the lack of cooperation of other political forces, calling it their problem. A former waiter and construction worker, with a degree in psychology and business administration, Siegmund entered the regional parliament in 2016 and gained visibility during the pandemic with videos critical of lockdowns. He has been co-leader of the AfD group in Magdeburg since 2022 and main candidate since May 2025 with over 98% internal support. He received the label 'Germany's most dangerous man' from Der Spiegel. He lives in Tangermünde with his wife and daughter, promotes a moderate image while remaining aligned with the party, and has received the support of Gregory Bovino, former ICE commander, who wished him 'Give them hell on Sunday' on X. The AfD has benefited from public discontent with traditional parties and inflation linked to the war in Iran.
