ER Editor: The two former East German states of Thuringia and Saxony went to the polls yesterday. These are areas where the AfD (Alternative fur Deutschland) is strong, especially among the youth.

A reminder that Germany had another major stabbing incident by a 26 year old Syrian refugee in Solingen, on the western side of Germany, on Friday Sept. 23. See —

And there was yet another stabbing incident last Friday night, this time by a woman, a 32 year old German national, on a bus going to a festival in Siegen, near Cologne (west). There were no deaths. From The Guardian —

German far right set for first major election win since World War II
Germany’s far right looks to have claimed its biggest electoral success since World War II, winning a regional vote in the east of the country Sunday, according to an initial projection.
The triumph of the anti-immigrant Alternative for Germany (AfD), in a region that was under communist control during the Cold War, is a huge blow to Germany’s political center — especially for the three parties of the ruling coalition of Chancellor Olaf Scholz, which appear to have suffered significant losses.
The AfD came in first in the state of Thuringia with about 33 percent of the vote, according to the early projection. …
Twitter/X reaction —
🇩🇪 With 33.5% of all votes @AfD just became the largest party in the German federal state of Thuringia and the second largest in Saxony with 31.5%.
Amazing news. If even the Germans stop being intimidated and are rising up; there’s real hope for the rest of Europe. pic.twitter.com/s5HbyWabdH

Following the European elections on June 9, France was quick to call an election, which followed on from Rishi Sunak’s bizarre, rain-soaked announcement at the end of May to call an election for the UK on July 4. Two crazy governments got elected around early July, with possible electoral result shenanigans, proceeding to conduct their ‘business’ (LOL) under very different circumstances (France doesn’t even officially have a government right now!), both with the common theme of SHOWING UP THE GLOBALISTS at breakneck speed.
Following June 9, things have been relatively quiet in Germany with no step-downs or elections called. Will yesterday’s elections in Thuringia and Saxony change that?

Right-wing party claims historic victory in German state election
Alternative for Germany (AfD) has won nearly 33% of the votes in Thuringia, according to preliminary results
RT
The Alternative for Germany (AfD) appears has won its first state election since the right-wing party’s establishment in 2013.
According to official preliminary results, the AfD has claimed 32.8% of the vote in Sunday’s legislative election in the state of Thuringia in the eastern part of Germany.
The conservative Christian Democratic Union (CDU) party is expected to come in second, with 23.6% of the ballots.
The two parties were also neck-in-neck in the neighboring state of Saxony, according to exit polls, with CDU and AfD claiming 32% and 31.5% of the vote, respectively.
None of the members of Germany’s ruling ‘traffic light’ coalition – the Social Democratic Party (SPD) of Chancellor Olaf Scholz, the Free Democratic Party (FDP) and the Greens – were able to make it to the top three in either of the states.
The third place in Thuringia and Saxony went to the newly-formed left-wing party of Sahra Wagenknecht (BSW). Despite being on the opposite sides of the political spectrum, BSW and AfD both call for stronger controls on immigration and an end to Berlin’s support for Ukraine amid its conflict with Russia.
The co-leader of AfD, Alice Weidel, said that the party has achieved a “historic success” in the election in Thuringia and Saxony, where roughly 1.7 and 3.3 million people were eligible to vote, respectively. In an interview with broadcaster ARD, she described the projected outcome as a “requiem” for Scholz’s coalition and urged for a general election to be held in Germany.
The right-wing party’s other co-leader, Tino Chrupalla, said that the people in both states have made it clear that “there should be a change of politics.” AfD is “ready and willing to talk to all parties,” Chrupalla stressed.
However, AfD is unlikely to be able to form a regional government in any of the states, as their political opponents refused to work with it. (ER: This is the same strategy played in France, lately by Macron’s party and the far left, and with immense pride it must be added. It’s called a ‘Republican Front’. This is probably the logic of a multi-party system, to ensure no one single party can actually take power.)
“An openly right-wing extremist party has become the strongest force in a state parliament for the first time since 1949, and that causes many people very deep concern and fear,” the co-leader of the Greens, Omid Nouripour, insisted.
The CDU’s national general secretary, Carsten Linnemann, said that “voters in both states knew that we would not form a coalition with AfD, and it will stay that way.” Weidel described such a stance by the Christian Democrats as “pure ignorance.”
