Volby v Sasku-Anhaltsku: Biskup Feige varuje před extremismem, církev hledá cesty k lidem

In brief

Bishop Gerhard Feige of Magdeburg warned against nationalism and hatred on the day of the state elections in Saxony-Anhalt, Germany. The elections saw significant success for the right-wing populist Alternative for Germany (AfD) party.

Following the vote, analyses suggest that residents feel abandoned and that the Catholic Church needs to be more present in everyday life. The election results have raised questions for both society and the Church regarding future social directions.
