AfD's blueprint for Germany: mass deportations, school changes, and patriotic art

Germany's far-right AfD party won 44% of the vote in Saxony-Anhalt's state election, bringing it closer than ever to governing a German state, though it fell three seats short of a majority. The party's 258-page manifesto outlines radical plans including mass deportations of irregular migrants and Ukrainians, separate classes for refugee and disabled children, banning Pride flags in schools, and cutting funding for "anti-German art." Mainstream parties have maintained a "firewall" against cooperation with the AfD, though the party hopes to form a government through alliances or minority rule. The result could influence other regional elections in September and the 2029 federal election, where the AfD, founded in 2013, currently polls as potentially the largest party.
