On Sunday, voters in the eastern German states of #Saxony and #Thuringia go to the polls in elections that are being carefully watched in Berlin and across Europe,
in part because the far-right #Alternative for #Germany party is poised to do well in one or both elections.

The two states, which were under Communist rule until 1990, will be voting for their state house representatives and ultimately their state government.

While those eligible to cast ballots in the two state elections represent only about 7 percent of Germany’s total electorate,
the vote still promises to be important
— for both the potential success of an anti-immigrant, nationalist party and because of the rise of a left-wing party built around a former Communist, known as the
#Sahra #Wagenknecht #Alliance, after its leader.

That party, founded only this year, is likely to outpace most mainstream parties, and it is predicted to come in third in both state house races.

The results are expected to be a clear sign of the East’s discontent with the federal government in Berlin.

Some or all of the parties that make up Chancellor Olaf #Scholz’s three-party governing coalition could be kicked out of the state houses in Saxony and Thuringia for failing to reach the required 5 percent threshold in Sunday’s elections.

The New York Times · What to Watch for in East German State Elections on SundayBy Christopher F. Schuetze

An die Putin-Versteher #Sahra und #NoAfD: Es ist bestialisch. Einfach nur bestialisch- Morde an Kindern, verheizte Soldaten - Putins Mörderbanden haben gestern Dutzende Raketen auf ukrainische Städte abgefeuert und auch eines der größten Kinderkrankenhäuser Europas in der Hauptstadt Kiew attackiert. Es war einer der verheerendsten Terrorangriffe seit Beginn des Krieges: mehr als 30 Tote, mehr als 120 Verletzte, unzählige Menschen traumatisiert. #Tagesanbruch #Putin
