Germany’s AfD scores a stunning 43.8% in Saxony-Anhalt, crushing Friedrich Merz’s CDU as the far-right party more than doubles its vote share. AfD leader Alice Weidel declares victory and predicts “Chancellor Friedrich Merz will be replaced,” while Merz admits, “We’re all deeply shocked” by the result. With Donald Trump, Elon Musk and U.S. Republicans reacting to the AfD surge, could the historic win reshape German politics and fuel the far right across Europe? #AfD #Germany #FriedrichMerz #AliceWeidel #SaxonyAnhalt #GermanElection #AfDVictory #Merz #DonaldTrump #ElonMusk #GermanPolitics #FarRight #GermanyElection #EuropePolitics #BreakingNews ► Subscribe to The Economic Times for the latest video updates.
