The state elections in Saxony and Thuringia are underway, and a high voter turnout is expected. The AfD is predicted to make significant gains in both states, posing a challenge to the current governing parties.
In Saxony, the CDU and AfD are in a close race, while in Thuringia, the AfD is expected to become the strongest force. The outcome of these elections could have far-reaching implications, potentially paralyzing the Berlin coalition if the SPD fails to make it into the state parliament.
There have been incidents reported, including threats in a polling station in Gera and political graffiti in Erfurt. The Correctiv research network has also warned of a circulating fake news about signing the ballot paper.
These elections are seen as crucial, with experts highlighting the potential danger to democratic institutions if the AfD expands its influence. The final results are expected to be announced on the evening of September 1st or the following morning.
