Listen: How close is the AfD to governing in Saxony-Anhalt?

The far-right AfD party has won elections in Saxony-Anhalt and Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania, but lacks an absolute majority. In Saxony-Anhalt, coalition talks are ongoing with the BSW party, which shares some views with the AfD. The election of AfD's Tobias Rausch as president of the regional parliament marks a significant milestone. Both parties recently voted together on a resolution regarding Ukraine, indicating potential collaboration. While the AfD may not secure the regional prime minister position, they could still influence local policies significantly through coalition agreements.
