The Alternative for Germany achieved a historic result in the state elections in Saxony-Anhalt.
The historic victory of the far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) party in the Saxony-Anhalt elections has revealed a group of new MPs with controversial backgrounds. Among the 39 elected are a former Stasi agent, the secret police of the former East Germany, a former pornographic film actor and parliamentarians investigated for alleged links to neo-Nazi organizations.
The new deputies were presented on Thursday (10), in Magdeburg, by the AfD's main candidate, Ulrich Siegmund.
The former Stasi agent is 78 years old and admitted to having worked for the East German Ministry of State Security, accompanying citizens who wanted to leave the country permanently. His election was criticized by groups representing victims of the former dictatorship.
Another elected official was convicted of stealing large quantities of bed linen from a hotel, worked as an actor in pornographic films and, according to the German newspaper Die Zeit, he was also expelled from a university after forging his high school leaving certificate. The politician claims that he was readmitted after appealing the decision.
Two of the new deputies are being investigated on suspicion of trying to maintain the activities of Artgemeinschaft, a right-wing extremist organization banned by German authorities that defended nationalist and anti-Semitic ideas. Both deny the accusations.
Asked about the parliamentarians being investigated, Siegmund joked by calling them "the bad guys". "We will wait for the results of the investigations and then discuss," he said.
AfD's victory
The Alternative for Germany (AfD) won the state election in Saxony-Anhalt, in eastern Germany, and achieved a historic result for the far-right party. The party received around 44% of the votes, according to the partial results of the count.
The vote represents the first time since World War II that a far-right party has come so close to taking over the government of a German state.
Victory at the polls, however, does not guarantee AD control of the state government. The party still depends on the composition of Parliament to know whether it will have a sufficient majority to govern. Therefore, the result also does not mean that Ulrich Siegmund, leader of the AfD in the state, will be minister-president, a position equivalent to that of governor in Brazil.
