German Chancellor Olaf Scholz has expressed deep concern over the rise of the far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) party in recent regional elections. The AfD's significant gains in Thuringia and Saxony pose a serious threat to the stability of the current coalition government, as Scholz urges all democratic parties to unite against the extreme right. With the AfD now the leading political force in Thuringia and a strong contender in Saxony, the implications for Germany's political landscape are profound. Scholz's call for coalitions devoid of the AfD reflects the growing alarm over the party's impact on society and the economy.
