France's government called the far-right AfD's electoral victory in Saxony-Anhalt a "grave moment in Europe" and urged against forgetting history. Minister for Europe Benjamin Haddad said nationalism and xenophobia are never a solution, and democratic values and the European project must be defended. The AfD won up to 44.4% of votes, far ahead of the CDU's 17.5%, nearing an absolute majority. The far-right party is projected to win 39 seats, three short of a majority, potentially leading to negotiations with other parties. No German region has been governed by the far-right since 1945.
