Politico calls it an "offener Machtkampf" in the AfD; Der Freitag calls the slogan the plan

Seven reports from five countries on the AfD's 43.8 percent in Saxony-Anhalt. They share the number and little after it: what the party wants, what the CDU should do about it, and what Trump's congratulation did to Berlin.

Europe Germany United States

The number. 43.8 percent in Sunday's Saxony-Anhalt election. Two of the seven reports we hold print it. Deník N alone says it is nearly double the party's result five years ago. None gives the seat count that decides whether a government can be formed.

What the winner wants.

Report What the AfD does next
Politico Europe An "offener Machtkampf": Ulrich Siegmund "pocht kompromisslos auf die absolute Mehrheit", party chair Tino Chrupalla "fordert die Bereitschaft zur Minderheitsregierung"
Der Freitag Siegmund's campaign line was "mehr als Wahlkampfrhetorik" — the plan itself. No dispute, and Chrupalla never appears

What the others should do. Welt has North Rhine-Westphalia's Hendrik Wüst demanding an "ergebnisoffene Prüfung der Verfassungsmäßigkeit". The Frankfurter Allgemeine has outgoing premier Sven Schulze proposing instead that Saxony-Anhalt give up its turn chairing the premiers' conference — "politisch unanständig", says the BSW group there; "keine Ausgrenzung", answers the current chair. taz gives its headline to an online commentator who says the answer is humour.

Washington. Libération reports Merz putting off Wednesday's call with Trump after Trump congratulated the party. The Frankfurter Allgemeine confirms the government criticised Trump's remarks; no second report we hold mentions the call.

Not settled. Whether the split inside the AfD is real: one report describes it, another covers the same man's plans and never names Chrupalla. Whether the call was put off because of the congratulation, or only after it. And the seats.

What this is about. A party that other German parties refuse to govern with has just won a state election by a wide margin, and the rest of the political system is arguing about what follows.

How it got here. The Alternative für Deutschland was founded in 2013 in opposition to euro-zone bailouts and remade itself after the migration crisis of 2015 around opposition to immigration. Its strongest results are in the east — the states of the former German Democratic Republic, which joined the Federal Republic at reunification in 1990. Saxony-Anhalt is one of them. Germany's sixteen states elect their own parliaments and run their own police, schools and courts, and their premiers meet in a standing conference whose chair rotates; Saxony-Anhalt's turn begins on 1 October, the Frankfurter Allgemeine reports. Voters there went to the polls on Sunday 6 September. The AfD took 43.8 percent, Der Freitag and Deník N report — nearly double its result five years ago, Deník N says. The new state parliament sits for the first time on 6 October, per the Frankfurter Allgemeine.

Who is in it. Ulrich Siegmund led the AfD campaign; Tino Chrupalla is a federal party chair. Sven Schulze of the Christian Democrats is the outgoing premier and lost. Hendrik Wüst runs North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany's largest state, for the same party. Friedrich Merz, also CDU, is federal chancellor. Germany's domestic intelligence service monitors the AfD; on 7 September we reported that outlets disagree over whether it is classified as far-right outright or in parts. Under the Basic Law only the Federal Constitutional Court can ban a party, and only the Bundestag, the Bundesrat or the federal government may ask it to — the route behind the working group Welt reported Wüst seeking on 8 September.

What is at stake. Whether the AfD forms a state government for the first time, or whether the parties that exclude it can assemble a majority without it. Both depend on seats, which none of the reports we hold gives.

The story so far

Earlier stories The AI Times filed on this thread.

What is being argued about

  • Whether the AfD aims at an absolute majority or a minority government
  • Whether the party's constitutionality should be tested, and who is saying so
  • Trump's congratulation and the postponed Merz call
  • What each report prints instead of the 43.8 percent figure
One result, seven answers to "what now"Side by side

The bias in this coverageBias

Two of seven print the number

The result is 43.8 percent and only two of the seven reports print it; one of those two is the only report that says what it is nearly double. The other five write "historic" or "record" instead of the figure. Nobody we hold gives the seat count that decides whether a government can be formed.

7 reports on the result 2 printing the vote share 1 giving a comparison with five years ago 0 giving the seat arithmetic

Who is quoted and who is described

Three reports characterise the winning party in the outlet's own voice — "the right", "far right", a party that flirts with Nazi symbols — rather than attributing the description to anyone. Two reports carry direct quotations: one quotes a state premier, a rival group and the conference chair by name; the other puts an influencer's comparison to the NSDAP in its headline. No report we hold quotes the winning candidate himself in his own words.

3 reports describing the party in their own voice 2 reports carrying a direct quotation 0 reports quoting the winning candidate
Scored without the mastheads. Where the two passes differ, both are kept.

unverified The AfD's state and federal leaders disagree on how to govern: Ulrich Siegmund insists on an absolute majority while party chair Tino Chrupalla wants readiness for a minority government.
Politico Europe is the only report we hold that describes the split. Der Freitag covers Siegmund's plans without mentioning Chrupalla or any dispute, so nothing corroborates or contradicts it.

Libération alone reports both the congratulation and the postponement of the Wednesday call. The Frankfurter Allgemeine confirms the German government criticised Trump's remarks on the result, but no second report we hold mentions a postponed call.

Schulze will auf Sachsen-Anhalts Vorsitz auf der Ministerpräsidentenkonferenz verzichtenNach dem Wahlsieg der AfD in Sachsen-Anhalt plädiert der noch amtierende Ministerpräsident Sven Schulze (CDU) dafür, auf den turnusgemäßen Vorsitz der Ministerpräsidentenkonferenz (MPK) ab Oktober zu verzichten. Einen entsprechenden Vorschlag habe er seinen Kollegen in einem Brief gemacht, sagte Schulze in Magdeburg. Sachsen-Anhalt sollte den Vorsitz am 1. Oktober 2026 turnusgemäß für ein Jahr übernehmen.

Doch wie realistisch ist eine extrem rechte Regierung? Und was würde sie realisieren? Still sind jetzt die Skeptiker in der AfD: jene, die eine Regierungsübernahme in Sachsen-Anhalt skeptisch sehen, weil es der Partei an Personal, Kompetenz und Erfahrung mangele.
