Thuringia's rise in extremist politics is alarming; the Alternative for Germany (AfD) winning is seen as a historical and cultural setback for the region.
The AfD achieved a record 32.8% in state elections, indicating an unsettling shift in political sentiment previously considered unfathomable after Nazi rule.
Warnings from constitutional lawyers, political scientists, and religious groups indicated that an AfD electoral victory could undermine democratic institutions in Germany.
With slogans resembling those of the Nazi era, the AfD's agenda focuses on dismantling competing parties and promoting immigration deportation.
