Sachsen-Anhalt Election Quiz: Who Said It?

other · 2026-08-30

The German newspaper 'der Freitag' published an article titled 'Wer hat’s gesagt? Das große Wahlplakat-Quiz' (Who said it? The big election poster quiz) ahead of the Saxony-Anhalt state election on September 6. The piece features a quiz about election posters, but the provided content focuses on three related articles: an account by Left Party candidate Jannik Balint who canvasses in Halle, including among AfD supporters; an interview with author Juliane Marie Schreiber about East German mentality; and a conversation with political scientist Petra Dobner about the AfD's potential absolute majority in the state parliament. The article also includes a subscription appeal for the newspaper. The election date is September 6, and the AfD is projected to win an absolute majority, which Dobner fears but believes the party will be unable to implement much of its program.
