AI-generated summary
Der Artikel kommentiert den politischen Aufstieg der AfD in Sachsen-Anhalt und die fehlende pro-europäische Reaktion von Spitzenpolitikern als Antwort auf den nationalistischen Trend.

The Hanover public prosecutor's office is investigating Berlin's SPD top candidate Steffen Krach on initial suspicion of accepting benefits in two cases and possible anti-competitive agreements in violation of trade secrets.

The investigation takes place in the middle of the Berlin election campaign before the House of Representatives election on September 20th.

US President Donald Trump announced that he would pay $5,000 to every voter if Republicans hold the majority in the Senate and House of Representatives after the midterm elections. He said this at the party conference in Dallas. Additionally, he planned to rename the Strait of Hormuz “Trump Strait” after a victory against Iran. Political scientist Christian Lammert criticized the promise as possible illegal vote buying. It was also announced that the “Trump Watch” format will appear twice a week as an audio and video podcast.
Hamdi Kayisi spent the election evening alone in his office in the industrial port outside Magdeburg. Since he doesn't have a German passport, he wasn't allowed to vote, but he demonstrated seven times before the election. While watching the AfD's record result on television, he called his colleagues who were not demonstratively involved and accused them of having made the 44 percent election success possible through their absence.
