Germany's Alternative for Germany (AfD) is leading polls ahead of a crucial regional election in the eastern state of Saxony-Anhalt, raising questions about the country's political and economic future. Despite never having governed before, the far-right party has steadily expanded its influence in eastern Germany. Economists warn that the AfD's election promises—including expanded welfare benefits, lower taxes and no new borrowing—could leave a multibillion-euro funding gap. They also caution that the party's hardline anti-immigration policies could worsen Germany's skilled labour shortage at a time when demographic pressures are already shrinking the workforce.
