Trump Praises AfD Win, Germany Rejects Interference

diepresse.com (German)

US President Donald Trump attributed the AfD's electoral success in Saxony-Anhalt to Germany's immigration policies, calling it a "really big evening" on Truth Social. The German government rejected the remarks as interference. Trump claimed voters are tired of "absolutely terrible immigration rules" and added the slogan "MGGA" (Make Germany Great Again). The AfD, classified as right-wing extremist, won 43.8 percent of votes, narrowly missing an absolute majority. Transatlantic coordinator Metin Hakverdi (SPD) said Germans decide their own migration policy and elections, needing no advice from the White House. SPD's Dirk Wiese demanded Chancellor Friedrich Merz address Trump's interference firmly.
