Germany's far-right AfD adopts 'radical' manifesto ahead of key polls
AI Summary
Germany's far-right AfD party has adopted a manifesto with radical policies ahead of upcoming elections, particularly in Saxony-Anhalt, where they are strong. The manifesto includes plans for stricter immigration controls, support for German families, and improved relations with Russia, contrasting with the federal government's stance on Ukraine. Ulrich Siegmund highlighted key proposals such as deportations, free childcare, and "remigration." Critics, like Eva von Angern, condemn the AfD's plans as authoritarian and a threat to democracy, warning of negative consequences if the party gains power in Saxony-Anhalt. The AfD's growing influence is a concern, as they secured a significant number of seats in the last federal election. The AfD state branch in Saxony-Anhalt has been classified as a "far-right extremist organisation".
