East Germany is on the brink of a potential political earthquake. On Sunday, voters in Thuringia and Saxony will head to the polls, followed by Brandenburg on September 22. These elections could redefine Germany's political landscape.
The far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) is surging in the polls, positioning itself as the strongest party in Thuringia and Brandenburg, and a close second in Saxony. Meanwhile, a new force, the Bündnis Sahra Wagenknecht (BSW), led by the former Left Party politician, is rapidly gaining support, challenging the mainstream parties.
The elections reveal deep divides between the East and West, as many East Germans feel left behind economically and socially. Outcomes could force unprecedented political alliances and signal a significant realignment in German politics.
