Élections allemandes : en Saxe-Anhalt, l’extrême droite veut s’attaquer aux « privilèges » des Églises

In brief

The Alternative for Germany (AfD) party plans to remove the privileges of Catholic and Protestant institutions if it wins the regional election in Saxony-Anhalt on September 6, 2026.

The AfD, which is the favorite to win the vote, claims these religious institutions are too close to what it describes as rainbow leftist ideology. In response to the election, the Diocese of Magdeburg has asked people to vote according to their conscience.
