La victoria de AfD aterra a los obispos: en peligro el Kirchensteuer, un impuesto que te deja sin sacramentos si no les pagas

In brief

German bishops are concerned that the electoral success of the Alternative for Germany (AfD) party threatens the Kirchensteuer, a church tax.

The party recently achieved a significant result in Saxony-Anhalt, where it received 44% of the vote. This outcome leaves the party only one seat away from governing the federal state alone.
