AfD Party Expected to Win State Election in Saxony-Anhalt, Germany
What happened
Germany's Alternative for Germany (AfD) party is expected to perform strongly in the Saxony-Anhalt state election this weekend. The party has been classified as an extremist group by the state's intelligence agency. If successful, this would mark a significant electoral victory for the party in the German state.
How the coverage differs
Coverage leads with alarm about the "far-right" party's potential rise to power, with outlets emphasizing it is "racist extremist" and noting fears of Germany's "first far-right governor since World War II." The New York Times frames the story around government inability to stop the development, calling it "something alarming."
