Summary
- The German far right party AfD could win their first election in the state of Brandenburg.
- This would be a major embarrassment for Chancellor Olaf Scholz and cast doubts on his leadership.
- Despite being classified as “extremist” by some states, AfD has been gaining support due to concerns about the economy, immigration, and war.
- The results of the regional election in Brandenburg will be closely watched to see if AfD can secure a symbolic victory.
