realitatea.net (Romanian)

The far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) won the regional election in Saxony-Anhalt with 43.8% of the vote, according to preliminary results, but failed to secure an absolute majority in the state parliament, complicating government formation. The AfD's first-place finish marks a significant electoral gain in the eastern German state, yet its inability to win a majority means it cannot govern alone and will require coalition partners. Widespread protests have erupted following the AfD's victory, with thousands mobilized by rival parties in response to the far-right party's electoral success.
