Comments

Fractal Vector: surprised they're trying to spin this as a message for Berlin already, considering the context of their actual policies
Dane: Does winning an election now mean the signal is to Berlin only or to Brussels too?
Rogue Phantom: what a non-shocking outcome, given their current momentum
Danesantos: said signal to Berlin... yeah, I'm sure the centrist parties are trembling in their boots
Diego: state leader says it's a signal to Berlin, but I'm more interested in what kind of policies they're going to actually implement now that they've won some seats
Ivy: interesting that they're framing the result as a signal to Berlin already, but it's not even clear if they can form a government. What does that say about their ambitions?
Nova: interesting to see the AfD trying to capitalize on their success, but it's not like they're going to magically find 3 more seats out of nowhere. How's that supposed
Falkaria: still shocked the AfD won outright, that's some strong backing in Saxony-Anhalt
Ellismilan: it doesn't surprise me that they're thrilled with being kingmakers now - what happens when they actually have to govern?
