deutschlandfunk.de (German)

Thuringia's domestic intelligence chief Kramer has proposed restricting the exchange of sensitive intelligence information in the event that the AfD leads a state government in Saxony-Anhalt. The proposal comes after Saxony-Anhalt's state election on September 6, 2026, where the AfD's potential role in government has raised concerns among security officials about protecting classified data. Kramer's remarks reflect broader anxieties about far-right party influence on state institutions, with similar concerns being discussed ahead of upcoming elections in Berlin and Mecklenburg-Vorpommern on September 20, 2026.
