EU's Environmental Commissioner voiced concerns, stating that the Union was allegedly unprepared to adopt the suggested plan.
In the upcoming state election in Saxony-Anhalt, scheduled for September 2026, the Alternative for Germany (AfD) is currently leading in the surveys, with a significant advantage over the Christian Democratic Union (CDU). According to the latest data, the AfD is expected to secure 39% of the votes, while the CDU trails behind in second place with 27%.
This development has raised concerns among some political figures, including Elisabeth Kaiser, the Federal Commissioner for Eastern Germany and a member of the Social Democratic Party (SPD). Kaiser has issued a warning to Rheinische Post, Westdeutsche Allgemeine Zeitung, and WAZ Group, urging citizens to be aware of the potential risks of an AfD-led government in Saxony-Anhalt.
However, no specific risks were mentioned in the article that were attributed to an AfD-led government in Saxony-Anhalt.
It is important to note that the German Federal Minister for Economic Affairs and Energy who also serves as the Federal Commissioner for East Germany is Katherina Reiche, a member of the CDU, at the time of the Saxony-Anhalt state elections in 2026.
A photograph of Elisabeth Kaiser, taken by BMWSB/Henning Schacht, has been circulating in connection with her warning. Kaiser's concerns come as no surprise, as the AfD has been a controversial party in German politics, known for its hard-line stance on immigration and Euroscepticism.
As of now, no other party is expected to come close to the AfD or the CDU in the state election. The results of the election could potentially lead to an AfD-led government in Saxony-Anhalt, a prospect that has sparked debate and concern among many German citizens and political figures.
Stay tuned for more updates on the Saxony-Anhalt state election as the campaign progresses and the voting day approaches.
