While falling just short of an absolute majority, the AfD surged into first place in the Saxony-Anhalt state election on Sunday, exit polls ⁠showed, putting the far right within reach ​of power at ‌the state level for ‌the first time since the second world war.

    In Germany we can see that the people who don’t like immigrants are the ones that almost have no immigration.

    So you see there is sth. that doesn’t make sense.

    Also the far right blame alien people for the problems and claim dealing with immigrants solves that. However we know what the actual issue is. Rich companies and rich people.

    But the common people only see shit is bad, probably immigrants. Because BILD newspaper said so.
