AfD's Historic Win in Saxony-Anhalt: Author Jakob Springfeld's Live Reaction

In the recent Saxony-Anhalt state election, the far-right AfD party achieved a historic result, with 65% of voters in 'poor financial situations' casting their ballots for the right-wing party. Author Jakob Springfeld, who was live on Deutschlandfunk Kultur's post-election show, expressed his dismay, noting that the evening was far from good and that this historically high result for an extreme-right party could break the neck of public broadcasting. Springfeld warned that not only public broadcasters but also many AfD voters, who are 'shooting themselves in the foot' with their choice, and all those affected by discrimination and democratic engagement, could face dark times in Saxony-Anhalt. The article, published in the Freitag, references Springfeld's earlier piece about why Saxony-Anhalt has become his 'Saxony anchor'.
