Las Iglesias de Alemania, preocupadas por el regreso al poder de la ultraderecha 80 años después de caer el nazismo

In brief

German churches expressed concern over the rise of far-right political power following elections in Saxony-Anhalt. According to Vida Nueva, the Alternative for Germany (AfD) party nearly secured an absolute majority in the state, receiving 43.8% of the votes on Sunday, September 6.

This election marks the first time since the fall of the regime that a far-right party is poised to govern a German state. Saxony-Anhalt is located in the former East German bloc.
