mdrafdsachsen-anhalt

Quick Look

  • Der Mitteldeutsche Rundfunk warnt vor organisatorischem und finanziellem Chaos bei einem AfD-Sieg in Sachsen-Anhalt, da die Partei die Rundfunkstaatsverträge kündigen könnte.

Font size

Für den Mitteldeutschen Rundfunk gibt es vor diesem Wahlabend zwei Szenarien. Entweder gewinnt die AfD die absolute Mehrheit in Sachsen-Anhalt, übernimmt demnächst Regierungsverantwortung, kündigt dann wie angedroht die Rundfunkstaatsverträge und stürzt den Sender in ein unüberschaubares Chaos bei Organisation und Finanzierung. Auf diese Konsequenz eines AfD-Siegs hat der MDR, den die Länder Sachsen, Sachsen-Anhalt und Thüringen gemeinsam gegründet haben, zuletzt mit Sendeunterbrechungen, schwarzem Bildschirm und Stille im Hörfunkprogramm hingewiesen. Oder aber, Szenario zwei, es kommt anders. Sicher ist, der MDR ist bei dieser Wahl journalistisch der maßgebliche Sender in der ARD – und gleichzeitig von ihrem Ausgang direkt betroffen.

Open Questions

  • Wie wahrscheinlich ist ein AfD-Sieg mit absoluter Mehrheit?
  • Welche konkreten Schritte würde die AfD bei einem Sieg unternehmen?
  • Wie würde der MDR auf eine Kündigung der Rundfunkstaatsverträge reagieren?

AfD clearly wins state election in Saxony-Anhalt ahead of CDU, but falls short of absolute majority

The AfD won the state elections in Saxony-Anhalt with 43.8 percent of the vote, well ahead of the CDU with 17.2 percent. Despite the clear lead, the party fell short of an absolute majority of 42 mandates and received 39 seats. Forming a government is difficult because other parties have ruled out a coalition with the AfD. Voter turnout reached an all-time high of 77.8 percent.

AfD victory in Saxony-Anhalt raises questions about the formation of a government and the federal government - at the same time, a data leak in Berlin is causing a stir

The election in Saxony-Anhalt has greatly strengthened the AfD, but the formation of a government remains unclear due to complex majority relationships. Ulrich Siegmund could become Prime Minister, but his election promises are considered impossible to implement. At the same time, a massive data leak from the Berlin state administration is causing a stir, in which sensitive data such as payrolls, emergency plans and copies of ID cards found their way onto the dark web - a process that could also benefit foreign secret services.
